Everyone knows what March means in American gambling, but for BetMGM online poker players, it is time for a special week of poker tournaments dubbed March Poker Mania. This is a 26-tournament annual schedule for each of these three states – New Jersey, Michigan, and Pennsylvania – and more than $300,000 in guarantees across the series.
Of course, the month of March is also notorious for basketball, specifically college basketball. There’s a trademarked name for the month of basketball and brackets and bets, but we can just call it the Third-Month-of-the-Year B-Ball Craziness. What it means is that people of all stripes watch the games and stay glued to the coverage and updates.
Now if only there was a way to combine poker and a basketball lover’s favorite time of year…
Look no further than BetMGM.
Take those brackets and sweat your bets at BetMGM Sportsbook online, all while building a bankroll and winning pots on the BetMGM Poker site. Poker playing and sports watching often go together like a free throw and a swoosh.
