Another new month means another amazing tournament series for all players at BetMGM Poker, one of the largest online poker operators in the US.
Starting March 10, BetMGM Poker is launching March Poker Mania, a 26-tournament festival that will climax with a massive $50k guaranteed Mania Finals event on March 17.
The tournament festival will feature events with buyins ranging from $50 to $500 and will be available in all three legal jurisdictions that BetMGM Poker currently has presence in, New Jersey, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
- Up to $75 in MTT tickets on top of the bonus
- Frequent MTT series with good guarantees
- Great action around the clock
Players across the three markets will have access to the same 26 events, although the New Jersey guarantees will be slightly more attractive than those in the other two states. Regardless, the operator will give out over $300,000 in prize money in all three jurisdictions, making March Poker Mania a festival to look forward to.

Shared Liquidity in the Works at BetMGM Poker
In December last year, BetMGM hinted at the imminent launch of a shared liquidity player pool, which would include players from New Jersey and Michigan, the two states that are currently part of the Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement (MSIGA).
The Agreement allows operators to merge their player pools across state lines and currently also includes West Virginia, a state in which neither BetMGM nor other online poker operators have yet launched their platforms.
With a multi-state launch imminent, this could be the last tournament series the operator launches with BetMGM NJ and BetMGM MI players segregated, and we could see significantly bigger prize pools in the future should the two merge.
Should Pennsylvania vote to enter MSIGA as well, we could see BetMGM Poker eventually merge all of their platforms, as well as any future platforms they could launch in West Virginia and elsewhere.
For the time being, however, players in each of the three states will have to enjoy March Poker Mania separately as we await further updates on the NJ and MI merger, as well as further steps that could come in the years to follow.
