The BetMGM Poker Online Summer Classic launches today in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Michigan. The festival consists of 21 events with buy-ins ranging from $10 to $500.
As the official sports betting partner of Major League Baseball, BetMGM has worked in some cross-promotion with the current season of MLB. The online poker tourneys line up with the major baseball fixtures this weekend, allowing you to put the matches on your second screen while you play cards. The baseball theme is even carried into the event names, where each event is numbered as if it were a baseball inning and named for a baseball term.
The two biggest events on the docket are the Top 4th: $250 Moonshot on Saturday, July 12, with its $75,000 guarantee and the Top 9th: $500 Grand Slam on Tuesday, July 14, with its $40,000 guarantee.

Satellites and Extra Prizes
Satellite tournaments are already running on the BetMGM Poker platforms within in the MSIGA states. It is possible to win your way into the two biggest events for just $10, $25, or $50, a fraction of the full buy-in.
BetMGM is also rewarding players who enter multiple BetMGM Poker Online Summer Classic events with a tournament leaderboard and daily spins.
Once players buy into at least one event, they will enter a series leaderboard. The top five finishers in the leaderboard will win BetMGM bets that can be used in the BetMGM sportsbook and casino, with up to $1,000 in bets earmarked for the top spot.
Additionally, players will be able to play Spin The Wheel once on every day on which they enter an event. Each spin of the wheel offers a chance at a prize of up to $500 in free bets on BetMGM Casino.
