The tournament will happen to be witnessing approximately 100 gamers who have qualified for the BetMGM Poker markets all across North America. Some of these places happen to be New Jersey, as well as Michigan, and Pennsylvania, along with Ontario, Canada. The online version of the championship for the sake of the qualifiers will be organized on the 1st of May, 2023. 

According to the Director of Poker at BetMGM, Luke Staudenmaier, this happens to be the second consecutive year when the popular tournament will be making a comeback, bringing with it all of the inclined gamers back to Las Vegas. In his opinion, this will indeed happen to be one of the most awaited championships for all connected and concerned.  

All of the competing gamers who manage to successfully pass the test online will find themselves receiving the opportunity of being able to win packages that will contain a $3,500 buy-in with regards to the BetMGM Poker Championship. It will also be having an $800 buy-in related to the Mystery Bounty event. Further still, all of their individual travel expenses will be paid for a period of six nights that they will be spending at the Aria Resort and Casino. 

As per the MGM Resorts Director of Poker Strategy, Sean McCormack, forming a collaboration with BetMGM yet again will be opening the doors for all of the participating poker players to actually be exposed to a unique tournament, along with a leisure time spent. The resort, on its own part, has taken the opportunity of doubling the guarantee, making it one of the most lucrative prize pools. 

Where iGaming is concerned, it happens to be legal in seven states in the U.S. and where it is possible to have online poker games organized. This also happens to be inclusive of Nevada. It was on what Americans call Black Friday when the Department of Justice brought the shutter down on online poker sites. It happens to be only a very few who have successfully managed to limp their way in again.
