In November 2024, BetMGM Poker merged player pools between its New Jersey and Michigan markets and brought an enhanced app, larger promotion and more poker action to players. It marked the next evolution of BetMGM Poker that combines a larger pool of players, omnichannel experiences, and an integrated gambling experience that spans online sports poker, casino and sports betting.
Some main highlights of the Borgata Winter Poker Open powered by BetMGM include:
- Exclusive Online Qualifiers: BetMGM Poker players in New Jersey, Michigan and Pennsylvania can win seats to the Borgata Winter Poker Open Championship from December 9-January 15. BetMGM Poker will also host nightly seat-only qualifiers for a variety of BWPO events, with buy-ins starting at as little as $2. Online registration is also available for a majority of BWPO events exclusively through BetMGM Poker.
- Same-Day Registration: For the first time ever, BetMGM will offer same day, real-time registration through the BetMGM Poker app.
- Online to Live: The $100,000 BetMGM Online Hybrid Championship starts online Sunday, January 5 and finishes with a live final table at Borgata on January 9.
- Championship Chase: The BetMGM Championship Chase on January 9 is a live qualifier for the BWPO Championship and will award at least 15 championship seats and additional entries to the BetMGM Bounty Shootout on January 10.
- BetMGM Big League Live Stream: The BetMGM Big League Live Stream on January 10 will be a live streamed single-table tournament headlined by the BetMGM partner digital baseball show, Foul Territory.
