Two New Online Poker Events Added to Pennsylvania Betting Schedule

It’s poker time in the world of PA online casinos.

Two new online casino poker in PA options were announced Thursday by BetMGM.

BetMGM sportsbook PA said in a release that Cheap Stakes is a low-stakes tournament series that features daily buy-ins of $20 and $50. It runs from Dec. 17-26.

New Year Knockout Weekend will follow from Dec. 29 through Jan. 2, 2022. The tournament series is built exclusively around progressive knockout bounty events.

Cheap Stakes and New Year Knockout Weekend will run across all three of partypoker US Network’s live markets in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Michigan.

“Cheap Stakes provides low-stakes players a chance at great prizing on the heels of last month’s End Boss series, during which we hosted events with higher stakes across the board,” Luke Staudenmaier, the director of poker for BetMGM, said in a press release.

He added: “Just after that wraps up, New Year Knockout Weekend helps end this year and ring in the new one with a celebration of one of the most entertaining formats in poker.”


Poker Stars Also Has Holiday Offering

It was just last Monday when Poker Stars unveiled another event for players in the Keystone State, called “25 Days of Tournaments,” which runs through Dec. 30.
