The move is a major step forward for BetMGM’s online poker strategy, offering a broader field of competition and access to prize pools larger than any previously offered by the operator.

Angus Nisbet, Vice President of Gaming at BetMGM, commented, “Pennsylvania represents the largest state to the shared player pool and turbocharges our poker platform. BetMGM Poker is ready to celebrate the growth of our shared liquidity network throughout the spring and summer in a variety of ways.”
