BetMGM chooses news source PokerOrg as its partner for the Winter Championships, with a guaranteed total payout (GTD) of $10m.

The 2024 Borgata Winter Poker Open is scheduled to take place between January 2 and January 26 in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The Open has over 40 events taking place throughout the month and is projected to be the largest tournament series in Borgata Poker history, with a GTD of $10m.

As official media partner, PokerOrg will provide coverage from Atlantic City, where the first poker millionaire of 2024 will be crowned.

The team is set to deliver live coverage of the Winter Poker Open Championship as well as written articles, event recaps, seat draws, chip counts, and more across its social media channels.

BetMGM offers players the chance to reserve their seat online, as well as the opportunity to secure poker packages with buy-ins as low as $5.

Luke Staudenmaier, Director of Poker at BetMGM, revealed his excitement at the partnership: “Players are at the core of everything BetMGM Poker does and PokerOrg amplifies poker players’ stories.

"The Borgata Winter Poker Open will create countless stories over the course of 22 trophy events and we know PokerOrg is going to bring those stories to life. This is just the start of a thrilling year of omnichannel poker events ahead.”

Eric Hollreiser, CEO of PokerOrg, commented on the upcoming event: “Hot off the heels of our coverage in Las Vegas, PokerOrg is excited to be heading East to bring poker fans all the action from the Borgata Winter Poker Open.

"Players and fans will be able to follow along as PokerOrg’s independent, player-focused, social-media style of reporting brings all the characters, hands, bad beats, and hero calls to life via our Instant Live feed and our social channels.”

BetMGM has secured several partnerships this month in North America, including Relax Gaming, Score Gaming and the National Hockey League.
