BetRivers Multi‑State Summer Series: 72‑event debut connects four state player pools

BetRivers Poker has announced its inaugural Multi‑State Summer Series (MSS), a 10‑day online festival that marks the operator’s first major tournament series. Running August 1–10, the MSS offers 72 events split into two buy‑in tiers—Silver and Gold—with combined guarantees of more than $200,000.

BetRivers players in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Delaware and West Virginia will compete in a shared player pool thanks to the operator’s recent entry into the Multi‑State Internet Gaming Agreement. The MSS features 36 unique tournaments, each offered twice: a lower‑priced Silver version and a higher‑priced Gold counterpart. Silver buy‑ins are one‑tenth of the Gold entry fee; for example, the series opener costs $50 in the Gold tier and $5 in the Silver tier. Events run each day at 6 p.m., 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. ET, with occasional 4 p.m. and midnight starts. Buy‑ins range from $1 to $250.

Daily line‑ups include familiar BetRivers tournaments—such as the Benjamin 6‑Max, Monsterstack, Deepstack, Midnight Madness and Rush—along with a $250 High Roller (Gold) boasting a $10,000 guarantee. Each day closes with a turbo‑format Rush event; Gold players pay $20 for a $1,500 guarantee, while Silver players pay $2 for a $250 guarantee. There’s also a Mini Main Event with a $20 buy‑in and a $6,000 guarantee.

The flagship tournament is the $200 Multi‑State Main Event, scheduled for August 10 and carrying a $30,000 guarantee. A $20 Silver Main Event runs concurrently with a $6,000 guarantee. In addition to prize money, players can climb separate Gold and Silver leaderboards; BetRivers is awarding $5,000 in bonus prizes across the leaderboards, with awards for the top finishers.

Satellite tournaments will run throughout the series, giving players a chance to qualify for major events at a reduced cost. BetRivers is also promoting the festival with live streams from ambassador Phil Galfond and other promotional boosts.

The Multi‑State Summer Series celebrates BetRivers’ expansion into multi‑state online poker and is a significant step for a platform that only launched its poker product in late 2024pokerfuse.com. By offering a schedule with accessible buy‑ins, daily structure and a shared player pool, BetRivers aims to attract recreational players from all four states while building momentum for future events. With 72 tournaments, flexible entry points and a $30 k‑guaranteed Main Event, the MSS provides an inclusive yet competitive arena for the site’s growing poker community.
