Players Hail BetMGM Poker’s Rake-Free Promotion in Ongoing Championships Series – BetMGM incentivizes tournament players to register before the start of the tournament by offering them full rakeback.

It was a great solution to dealing with the problem of a small market where tournaments with high buy ins often get cancelled for not meeting the minimum number of entrants at start time. […]
