The Borgata Winter Poker Open powered by BetMGM returns in January boasting $5,000,000 in total guarantees. Running from January 2-16, the BWPO features 32 main events, eleven live streams, and a schedule packed with a variety of buy-ins for all types of poker action. Online qualifiers started on December 2 and real-time registration will be available exclusively at BetMGM Poker.
“The Borgata Winter Poker Open provides the perfect opportunity for BetMGM to carry our 2024 momentum into the new year,” said Angus Nisbet, VP of gaming, BetMGM. “After merging our New Jersey and Michigan player pools in November, we are excited to offer players in all our U.S. markets another chance to win their way to million-dollar live events at Borgata.”
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 combining a larger pool of players, omnichannel experiences, and an integrated gambling experience that spans online poker, casino and sports betting.
