BetMGM announced last week 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,” said Angus Nisbet, VP of Gaming, BetMGM. “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.”
To celebrate the debut of combined player pools, BetMGM Poker will host its biggest tournament series to date starting Sunday, November 17. The BetMGM Poker Online Championships will run November 17-December 1 and feature $2,000,000 in guarantees, nightly trophy events and a series leaderboard.
In addition to combined player pools in New Jersey and Michigan, BetMGM Poker has recently launched an improved app in all of its markets. The new app is highlighted by a streamlined log-in journey and new lobby design.

BetMGM Poker Ambassador and record four-time World Poker Tour winner Darren Elias said, “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. 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.”
