BetMGM MI will hold an online poker series from mid- to late-September and is also offering nine new online casino titles. The operator is also offering several sportsbook promotions during the month as MLB approaches the post-season in October.

Online Poker Series

From September 19 to 26, BetMGM Poker MI will run a 10-event online poker series, with buy-ins ranging from $18 to $1,000.

The series opens with a pair of events on September 19—an 8-max No Limit Hold’em (NLH) event with a $200 buy-in and $40k guaranteed, and an 8-max “mini” NLH event with the $18 buy-in and $10,000 up for grabs.

The action continues the next day with an 8-max progressive knockout (PKO) event. Fees for the event will total $215, which includes a $100 buy-in, $15 fee and a $100 bounty. The PKO match has $20,000 guaranteed.

NLH events with $200 buy-ins and $20,000 guaranteed will be held on September 21 and 22, but the series then shifts to an 8-max pot-limit Omaha (PLO) match with a $100 buy-in and $10,000 in guaranteed prize money on September 23. A 6-max “turbo” NLH event follows on September 24, with a $100 buy-in and $10,000 in potential winnings at stake.

The series will hold a second 8-max PKO event on September 25, with bounties of $150 this time around. Combined with a $150 buy-in and a $20 fee, the total entry cost for the second PKO is $320 per player. The event will have $20,000 of prize money guaranteed.

BetMGM will close the series with a pair of events on September 26, including the main event—an 8-max NLH event with a $1,000 buy-in and $50,000 in prize money guaranteed and up for grabs.
