BetMGM Poker Launches Trio of State Championships – With over $2 million guaranteed, the new MI-NJ-PA series becomes the largest in BetMGM Poker history as the operator continues riding its 2022 momentum. The State Championships is the largest online series in BetMGM Poker history. The momentum that we’ve experienced in the past three months has inspired us to push for new heights. Leading sports betting and iGaming operator BetMGM has announced a new major poker series in three regulated US markets on its online poker platform.
