BetMGM New Jersey’s software platform has received a major upgrade to match its Michigan counterpart, in a move that would make it easier for the operator to merge its players across licensed states in the US once shared liquidity gets up and running in the Wolverine State.
BetMGM New Jersey Software Finally Upgraded
BetMGM Poker is powered by the partypoker software which has undergone major updates over the past few years. The changes, which scrapped the use of screen names and aliases and introduced the Run It Twice feature in cash games, were applied across BetMGM Poker’s platforms in North America, including Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Ontario. But for some reason, its New Jersey platform had been left untouched.
However, with Michigan inching closer to shared liquidity, BetMGM finally decided to make its New Jersey software on a par with the rest of its US platforms. The changes have also been deployed to sister sites Borgata and partypoker.
Shared Liquidity Coming Soon to Michigan
It’s the latest signal that online poker operators are preparing to combine their player pools in New Jersey and Michigan after the latter officially joined the Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement (MSIGA) in early 2022. The Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) has yet to provide a timeline as to when shared liquidity will finally go live in the state, but that could happen by next year given the recent developments.
