Partypoker has shifted its US operations to the BetMGM platform and will now offer both poker and casino games on one site. The company is also set for an April expansion of their Poker Room at Caribbean Holidays, which will be hosting a major partypoker tournament in late May.
The partypoker US Network’s March Poker Mania begins on Sunday for online poker players. The series will have 19 events in each of the three states (New Jersey, Michigan, and Pennsylvania), with buy-ins ranging from $55 to $1,060 and a guaranteed prize pool of $1.3 million.
Players on the BetMGM and Borgata Poker skins may also participate in the series. March Poker Mania provides a glimpse into the future of partypoker US, with larger series, unique titles, and tournaments.
With that in mind, BetMGM/partypoker US director of poker Staudenmaier, Luke talked with USPoker recently about some of the network’s recent developments.

Increasing the stakes at partypoker
Partypoker US has hit its stride in recent months. This has featured some positive income reports, particularly in New Jersey.
Party also seems to have renamed its monthly Online Series into separate festivals with a diverse range of activities. Examples include March’s Poker Mani, February’s Bounty Blitz, and January’s Double Trouble.
“We want to get our players – and all poker players in the United States – enthusiastic about the game, and we’ve discovered that variation in our month-to-month incentives helps to do that,” Staudenmaier adds. “When it comes to making judgments at the table, we want our players to see us as smart and imaginative, just as they do.”
These intriguing titles also help gamers remember and connect with the series. In September, four-time World Poker Tour winner Darren Elias joined the brand as an ambassador for the United States.
Matt Berkey, a poker expert and instructor, and Andrew Neeme, a YouTuber, have both been tapped to host the next March Poker Mania. This adds a new dimension to the current series.
A $1,060 Heads-up “Bracket Battle” is also on the horizon for players. The tournament will be limited to 32 participants and should be a lot of fun.
More collaborations are on the horizon.
Staudenmaier, Luke
Roar Digital, a collaboration between Entain (owner of the worldwide partypoker) and MGM Resorts, owns the Partypoker US Network.
The fact that MGM owns partypoker US provides some synergy with the Borgata casino in Atlantic City. The facility has grown into one of the largest poker hotspots on the East Coast.
Partypoker has hosted qualifiers for several of Borgata’s main series on a regular basis, using the BetMGM and Borgata Poker skins. Staudenmaier believes the collaboration will continue in the future.
“As live events resume, our omni-channel partnerships give us a place at the table,” he explains. “Spring Poker Rebound, presented by Darren Elias, will take place during this month’s March Poker Mania at Borgata, a superb hotel with a history of hosting significant poker tournaments.
“It’s fair to assume that we’ll be collaborating with MGM Resorts locations to meet and connect with gamers around the nation, as health and safety concerns allow.”
Players are contacted by Partypoker.
In the past, the WPT has worked with both the international and American platforms of partypoker. Tony Sinishtaj took home $77,350 at the WPT Borgata Online in 2020. Players in New Jersey were enthusiastic about the tournament.
“Over the previous two years, we’ve been fortunate to collaborate with WPT, a historic and trusted poker brand,” Staudenmaier adds. “While there are currently no plans for another WPT tournament to be held online, we’re always looking for new ways to engage with industry partners, promote the game of poker, and provide fresh services to our players,” says the company.
Staudenmaier said the corporation is dedicated to delighting gamers and bringing more to the table, even with so much in the works. Those efforts seem to be paying off thus far, and Staudenmaier thinks player feedback is valued.
“Even when festivals or series concentrate on a variety that isn’t a player’s favorite,” he adds, “we’ve gotten wonderful community reaction – especially because they know they’ll be heard.” “It also helps players anticipate what may happen next.”
