JERSEY CITY, NJ (November 6, 2024) – BetMGM, a leading iGaming and sports betting operator, announced today that it has started combining player pools between its New Jersey and Michigan poker markets. This marks a significant milestone in the evolution of BetMGM Poker, offering players an enhanced poker app, larger promotions and more online poker action.
“This is a landmark day for our poker product as we combine player pools in select markets. With the introduction of shared liquidity, we've listened to players’ desire for more games and larger prize pools. By showcasing our best-in-class omnichannel experience – spanning property, sports betting and online casino – we're committed to providing an unparalleled poker experience for our players."

We are focused on the growth of online poker and I am so excited about the recent app upgrades, the upcoming series and the evolution of BetMGM Poker.” Darren Elias - BetMGM Poker Ambassador and record four-time World Poker Tour winner
