BetMGM Friday announced an agreement with poker-content company PokerGO to host the BetMGM Poker Championship final table and a $25K freeroll tournament in the PokerGO Studio at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.
The live final table will feature six players on June 26 during the 2022 ARIA Poker Classic. The newly added no-limit hold ’em freeroll will take place on June 22 and is available exclusively to BetMGM Poker Championship online qualifiers.
“Through this relationship, the first-ever championship final table and freeroll participants will play some of the most important hands of their lives in PokerGO’s studio,” said BetMGM Director of Poker Luke Staudenmaier in a statement. “With Jeff Platt and Jamie Kersetter on the mic, players will have the opportunity to claim poker glory that will live on PokerGO’s platform for years to come.”
The BetMGM Poker Championship begins June 23 and will include four days of branded poker events, including the $3,500-buy-in no-limit hold ’em with a $1 million guarantee. A $600-buy-in BetMGM Poker Mystery Bounty on June 25 will be the first time the ARIA has run this type of live-poker knockout tournament.
BetMGM continues to make responsible gaming education a key focus. The company is proud to provide resources to help customers play responsibly including GameSense, an industry leading program developed and licensed to MGM Resorts by the British Columbia Lottery Corporation. Through GameSense’s integration within BetMGM’s mobile and desktop platforms, customers can directly access responsible gaming tools.
