BetMGM has announced an exciting update for its online poker players, merging the player pools between its New Jersey and Michigan markets. This strategic move aims to deliver larger promotions, improved poker offerings, and a more engaging experience for users in both states. By combining these two markets, BetMGM can now offer players bigger tournaments, a larger selection of games, and higher prize pools.
Expanding Poker Opportunities for Players
“This is a landmark day for our poker product as we combine player pools in select markets,” said Angus Nisbet, BetMGM’s VP of Gaming. With this move, BetMGM is addressing player demands for more games and bigger prizes. The merger supports BetMGM’s vision of providing a top-tier omnichannel experience, combining properties, sports betting, and online casino gaming to create a comprehensive poker platform.
The operator also announced its largest tournament series to date in celebration of the combined player pools. Starting November 17 and running until December 1, the BetMGM Poker Online Championships will feature $2 million in guaranteed prizes, along with nightly trophy events and a competitive leaderboard. The tournament is set to attract players across both states, offering a chance to win significant rewards.
Darren Elias, BetMGM Poker Ambassador and four-time World Poker Tour champion, shared his excitement about the update. “Combining player pools will immediately elevate BetMGM Poker with more games and bigger guarantees while allowing BetMGM to send more online qualifiers to live tournaments at MGM Resorts properties across the country,” he said. Elias also praised the recent app upgrades and emphasized the positive direction in which BetMGM Poker is heading.
In addition to the merger, BetMGM has promised an updated version of its poker app to improve user experience across all markets. The company aims to make poker more accessible and enjoyable while expanding its omnichannel opportunities, integrating MGM Resorts’ live tournament events with online gaming.
This merger positions BetMGM Poker as a major player in the online poker space, offering a more dynamic and rewarding platform for both new and experienced poker enthusiasts.
