Does BetMGM Poker share players across states?
When Michigan approved the shared pool in 2024, Card Player reported that the approved games included no-limit and limit hold'em, Omaha formats and seven-card stud, and that new games need board approval. Since April 28, 2025, players in all three states can sit in the same cash games and tournaments.
How do you check BetMGM Poker is legal where you are?
Play only where BetMGM Poker is on your state's approved list, and only while you are physically in that state. Online poker sites check your location before you can sit at a table. See your state page for the regulator and its list of approved sites.
Does InsideCasino.us rate BetMGM Poker?
No. We do not rate or rank BetMGM Poker, and we do not link to sign-ups. Poker is played against other players, and the site takes a fee from cash game pots or tournament entries. Set a budget first, and see responsible gambling for help.
What are the rules in your state?
Each state sets its own online casino rules. Pick a state to see its status, its regulator and the date we last checked it.
