When Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro signed the Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement, BetMGM was ready. Not only was the BetMGM team excited about the development, it was literally ready to launch the first US online poker site that would bring players in three states – Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Michigan – together on the same platform.
On Monday, April 28, this new combined BetMGM Poker site launched, and players flocked to the tables to experience the benefits of shared online poker liquidity. More players on one platform means more cash games, a bigger variety of limits and stakes, and larger tournament guarantees.
BetMGM even turned its famous daily C-Note tournament (normally a $100 buy in) into a Free Note tournament. The tournament took place on the evening of April 28 with 1,274 players in action, many of them grabbing pieces of that $30,000 prize pool. But it was “bigbootyboy” who won the freeroll for $4,426.20 plus the added BetMGM Poker Championship at ARIA prize package worth $5,000.
New BetMGM Poker Promos
BetMGM Poker wants the celebrations to continue. As a virtual toast to Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Michigan players competing against each other at the same online poker tables, BetMGM is offering said players some amazing deals and promotions.
Instant Login Spin the Wheel: April 30 – May 4
This is the easiest promotion to participate in, as it merely requires a simple login to the BetMGM Poker site. And you can log in every day from April 30 to May 4 to play.
Simply log in, Spin the Wheel, and win one of the following prizes:
- $50 ARIA BetMGM Poker Championship qualifier ticket
- $20 SPINS ticket
- $5 ARIA BetMGM Poker Championship qualifier ticket
- $5 SPINS ticket
- $1 SPINS ticket
BetMGM Poker’s signature SPINS tournaments are three-player sit-n-go tournaments with multipliers, providing the opportunity for expanding prize pools.
Fast Forward Pick-a-Card: April 30 – May 4
Every player who competes at the poker tables for real money at BetMGM earns BRPs (BetMGM Rewards Points) for rake and/or tournament fees they pay. These BRPs add up and can be used for a wide range of things, including poker vouchers for tournament tickets. Players can even earn double rewards points during BRP Boost Hours every day from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. and from midnight to 2 a.m.
As BetMGM celebrates the welcoming of Pennsylvania players to the New Jersey and Michigan network, it is offering yet another BRP promotion. This one requires you to earn only five (5) BRPs in a day to play the Pick-a-Card game. Cash in five BRPs every day, if you wish, and win one of the following prizes each time:
- $20 Fast Forward bonus
- $10 Fast Forward bonus
- $5 Fast Forward bonus
- $1 Fast Forward bonus
What is Fast Forward? It is a form of online poker played at a faster pace than normal. Instead of sitting at one table, you can keep the action going by using the “Forward Fold” button to fold out of a hand and immediately find yourself at a new table with a new hand to play. This eliminates wait times as other players make decisions on a hand that you’re no longer playing.
Special Deposit Match: May 2-11
Starting May 2, players who make a deposit on BetMGM Poker can take advantage of a special 100% match of that deposit amount up to $500. Simply use the code PHMB-500-PAPCT when transferring funds to your account.
Keep in mind that there is also a deposit bonus offer running through June 30 that offers a 100% deposit bonus plus tournament tickets. This pertains to your first deposit made within seven (7) days of opening a new account. For certain deposit amounts, you will also receive free tournament tickets as follows:
- Deposit $10 to $499 to receive four $5 SPINS tickets and one $5 tournament ticket
- Deposit $500 to $999 to receive one $25, two $10, and two $5 tournament tickets
- Deposit $1000 to receive two $25, three $10, and one $5 tournament tickets
Shared Poker Player Pool Benefits
Bigger prize pools and bigger guarantees in online poker are better. That goes without saying. But that is the top benefit for players in shared liquidity. When poker operators can connect players in various states on the same online poker network – sharing liquidity across state lines – it makes the entire experience better.
And as BetMGM Poker Ambassador Darren Elias explains, now is the perfect time to get in there, as new players are discovering new tables, stakes, and tournaments.
Speaking of Darren, another BetMGM Poker Ambassador, Abby Merk, showed off her skills in playing Darren online:
And speaking of bigger guarantees, you’ll notice that many of your favorite daily and weekly tournaments now have increased guaranteed prize pools. Big Shots events feature big payouts in the daily events and weekly leaderboards for extra prizes. SPINS multipliers have increased, as the top possibility is now 2400x for up to $100,000 in cash.
Also, keep an eye out for the new BetMGM Millions tournament series starting May 8. More info to come next week!
