The first ever multi-state tournament series from BetRivers Poker is well underway. Aptly named, the Multi-State Summer Series (MSS) is currently running in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Delaware, and West Virginia guaranteeing $200,000 across 36 events that are broken down further into 72 tournaments based on a Silver or Gold tier.
Gold and Silver tiers that make up the MSS refer to the buy-in level, and accompanying leaderboard races are running. The leaderboards are giving away $5,000 in extra prizes. The top 10 finishers on each leaderboard will win up to $1,000, with the Gold Tier paying out $5,100 and the Silver Tier offering $510. Trophies will also be given out to the winners. The leaderboards will be updated daily.
The series is particularly exciting for Delaware poker players who prior to the launch of BetRivers Poker back in June have not been able to play online poker for the past 18 months!
Six tournaments will run daily, with buy-ins starting as low as $1 and going up to $250 at the top end. At the weekends, the schedule will feature up to eight events per day, typically starting with a slower structure and ending with fast-paced turbo or hyper formats.
- The best online poker software in the US with the lowest cash game rake.
- Generous 100% deposit match bonus up to $1000 ($250 in Delaware)
- Now live for players in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Delaware & West Virginia!
BetRivers Poker has ensured that there is a mix of tournaments at buy-ins to suit all bankrolls. There is a $30,000 Main Event, which has a buy-in of $200 plus a Mini Main Event priced at $20 that features a $6,000 guarantee. The winner of the Gold-tier Main Event will also receive a special MSS Trophy, the first of its kind.
Satellites are available for most events, giving players the chance to qualify for less, and there are loads of action still remaining. Here we run down the schedule from Thursday through to Sunday when the series concludes. Events remaining include Deepstack, Highrollers, PLO Rush, Monster Stack and Classic tournaments. Both Main Events will play out on Sunday, August 10.
The schedule from today onwards is below.

Prior to the start of the MSS, BetRivers Poker ambassador Phil Galfond, live-streamed his BetRivers online action on his YouTube Channel that also included an AMA. As part of the stream, BetRivers Poker boosted the guarantee of each tournament Galfond entered.
“This is a big moment for us,” Galfond told pokerfuse last month. “Seeing players from Michigan, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Delaware finally sharing tables is exciting — especially for those in West Virginia who are finally getting the poker platform they deserve, and those in Delaware who haven’t had a place to play for the past 18 months.”
BetRivers Poker is firing on all cylinders and outside of the series is still running several promotions. Cash game leaderboards, SNG Startup which awards Sit & Go tickets, Rung It Up: where players can win up to $111 in tournament tickets each week, plus a generous rakeback program for regular players are all running. The cash game leaderboards run every two-weeks and give away $22,000 to players across all stakes.
If you love a live stream, then you can catch some of poker pro Keith Becker’s live stream of his MSS action over on YouTube below. The Multi-State Summer Series runs until August 10, 2025.
