BetMGM Poker partners with PokerOrg for the Borgata Winter Poker Open, a poker series with a $10m prize pool and 22 main events. PokerOrg’s Instant Live feed promises immersive coverage, showcasing player stories and event highlights across social platforms. This collaboration sets the stage for a thrilling year of poker events, capturing the essence of each tournament.
BetMGM and PokerOrg, a news site about poker, have announced that they will work together on the Borgata Winter Poker Open.
The Open has a $10 million prize pool and will be held at the “prime poker hub” on the East Coast. The goal is to make the first poker millionaire of the year.
PokerOrg will cover the event through its Instant Live feed, sharing insights, player stories, and highlights on many social media sites.
Luke Staudenmaier, Director of BetMGM Poker, talked about how important players are to the company’s philosophy and how PokerOrg helps spread poker players’ stories. Staudenmaier was sure that PokerOrg could bring to life the many stories told during the 22 trophy events at the Borgata Winter Poker Open. These events would start an exciting year of omnichannel poker events.
Eric Hollreiser, CEO of PokerOrg, was excited about the upcoming coverage of the Borgata Winter Poker Open. He used this to show how the organization’s reporting style is focused on players. After their recent coverage in Las Vegas, he talked about how PokerOrg’s independent narrative brings characters, hands, bad beats, and hero calls to life through their Instant Live feed and social channels, giving fans a more immersive experience.
Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa announced in November 2023 that it would be hosting the Winter Poker Open. BetMGM Poker will offer multiple ways for players to qualify, including online qualifier packages and online registration for event seats that can only be done online.
PokerOrg has worked with events like the WSOP Circuit Tour in the past as an official media partner to provide real-time coverage.
