PokerGo’s sponsorship also includes something else just for online players. It offers even more incentive to try to win one of the online prize packages.
Freeroll event added for BetMGM online poker qualifiers
For those who qualify online for the Championship, the perks just got better. PokerGo is also sponsoring a $25,000 guarantee freeroll no-limit hold ’em game just for those who nab one of the prize packages.
