Is the “partypoker US Network” Due for a Name Change? – The moniker is a nod to Entain’s world-renowned partypoker brand, but it’s technically not a network & the name says nothing about BetMGM, a top brand in the US. “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell just as sweet.”
Perhaps, but Juliet Capulet wasn’t known for playing cards.
And it’s a fair question to ask of the entity called the “partypoker US Network,” the lowercase entity that online poker players in three US states are no doubt familiar with but may have wondered — why is it called that? And considering the popularity of one of its members, is a name change in order? What is the partypoker US Network?

The name “partypoker US Network” can describe several things, but the moniker is usually used to describe an intra-state online poker network in New Jersey that comprises BetMGM Poker NJ , Borgata Poker NJ , and partypoker NJ . Thanks to the connectivity of this network, players in the Garden State across all three platforms can play against each other.
It has also been used previously to describe a similar intra-state partnership in Pennsylvania between BetMGM Poker PA and Borgata Poker PA. Like their counterparts in NJ, players in PA on either platform can play against each other.
The name also extends to include BetMGM Poker MI, but it is rarely used in the industry since neither Borgata nor partypoker is operational there. There could be an uptick in usage of the name after online poker operators in Michigan are cleared to offer multi-state poker by the Michigan Gaming Control Board ( MGCB ).
