Who runs PlayStar Casino?
PlayStar is reported as a privately owned operator set up by Joel Wikell and Adam Noble. Reports describe a $15 million investment from Meyer Global Management in December 2022 and the Glitnor Group stake in July 2023. These reports are old, so ownership may have changed. Earlier plans to enter Pennsylvania do not show on the Board's list.
Where is PlayStar Casino licensed?
The official New Jersey and Pennsylvania lists name PlayStar Casino or its license holder. The table shows only what we could confirm. It is not a full list of states, because we could not open every regulator's current list, including Michigan's full list.
| State | Listed under or partner | How we know |
|---|---|---|
| New Jersey | Ocean Resort | Official list, checked November 5, 2026 |
| Pennsylvania | Not on the list | Official list dated April 7, 2026 |
Listing here is not a recommendation. The official list is the one to trust if it differs.
How do you check PlayStar Casino in your state?
Look for the exact site on your regulator's own list, not in the site's footer or on a review page. Being licensed in one state says nothing about another. Start at your state page, or see the licensed operators page for the New Jersey and Pennsylvania lists.
