Update from my end- Since Monday, I've had zero location issues (desktop user).

A few days ago, every time I won a hand, it would throw me off with the geolocation issue. Weird that it only happened when I won a hand.

Pretty pissed off that I took the last $500 bonus they were offering, but traffic on the site was so low, it was impossible to score any of it.

I took the casino deposit match when they first opened before they had poker online, and when I tried to get the poker deposit match, they told me to piss off.

MGM's support is absolute balls ass garbage, if you have a problem, they'll blame it on you, and then cut you off. I've contacted the gaming commission on them for 4 different issues of money not ending up in my account correctly, after their support either completely ignored me or told me that i was wrong. Every time within 24 hours of contacting gaming commission, it was resolved correctly, but not until then.

Their live casino is garbage, their online casino is even more garbage.

The poker side of the software is just unbelieveably bad, table queue is beyond screwed up, i can't count the number of times I've been multitabling, and a table pops up over the one i'm trying to act on, screwing up my action, usually dropping the "RAISE" button right where i'm trying to act on a different table.

Party has had 2 freaking decades to build competent table queue software, and they have utterly failed. I built a 100% proper working table queue for another poker software in under 30 minutes. Utter failure.

Location issues for me all day today

I didn't have any issues yesterday, but this morning I've had some issues. Problem went away when I tried registering for a tournament 2x; 3rd time gave me no issue.

I experimented with BetMGM a week ago or so and was kind of stunned at how low the traffic was compared to PokerStars.

I had a feeling it would be smaller, but not this small.

I know right. Considering BetMGM igaming/sports betting is booming, you'd think the poker traffic would be much better. Only thing that makes sense is lack of advertising. Since launch, I saw my 1st BetMGM Poker ad on social media, while I see Pokerstars ads all of the time. Pokerstars MI/PA/NJ were nearly down for 24 hours, and yet BetMGM decided not to advertise poker on twitter; talk about a missed opportunity. Sure, the software lacks compared to Pokerstars, but I would imagine only a handful of people don't play on BetMGM due to software.

Overall, I believe lack of traffic is due to people simply not knowing BetMGM poker exists. If people knew about it, poker traffic would've boomed when Pokerstars was down for nearly 24 hours, and yet the traffic seemed to barely rise. Anyway, what do I know...

Having quite possibly the worst software since one could resize tables for online poker does not help.

There is a $535 tournament today which has 0 satellites which cannot possibly make any sense.

Also the lobby filter has a "high" filter which ends at $530 so if one has that clicked this tournament does not even show up in the tournament lobby. Why the high filter blocks off every $535 and the one $1k tournament they had is beyond me. It speaks to a level of incompetency that is hard to fathom. So either one has to wade through all the $10 and $.25 tournaments to get to a $535 or just don't see it.

Same situation for cash games as the "high" button blocks off the highest stakes. Why?!

100% deposit match up to $500 using code "SERIESB500" per the email that was just sent to me.

15 days to clear 7500 points. 10 equal payments of $50 per 750 points cleared.

Considering I earned 215 points in July...I'd say this is a waste for me. Volume is too low. Hope you guys can make use of it.

Has anyone ITT ever seen a Fast Forward game run and played with HM3 or PT4? If yes, did the HUD work? We are doing some testing of a new issue I found at Party MI in our new HM3 internal beta related to the Start/Stop HUD button, and the developers are curious if the Fast Forward HUD even works there at all but I have never seen those games run when I am online for testing due to the small player pool.

Just found out that you can pause a specific bonus if you have multiple bonuses. For example when you have the deposit bonus and win a different bonus on the wheel that will expire in 2 days. You go into promotions and click on the inactive bonus and then click unpause bonus.

Anyone playing the mgm online series Event #7 turbo 6max which is for some reason 10 handed?

There was a client update today which made an error in the client that says when all the flops are dealt in the chat box:

Dealer: ** Dealing Flop ** [%1s, %2s, %3s ]

This occurs for every hand and every board.

Whatever tracking software now doesn't track hands because of this.

Also it shows the % to win the hand when all-in, but not the cards face up. Not sure what the logic is on that one.

Thanks for posting this as I just had someone ask about it in the HM3 support thread. I had another customer report the same issue at a different party skin last week so hopefully they are aware of the issue and can update the client again soon to fix this.

Don't bring Anurag Dikshit into this.

A High Roller button has been added to the tournament buy-in filters.

I wanted to make sure I wasn't stupid here. I keep getting emails for "Score a Free $10 Poker Bonus" and it says "Wager $20 in Raked Hands - Play at least $20 in raked hands in tournament games with BetMGM."
I played like $60 in buyins yesterday, and no poker bonus added to my account. Is it actually, "play enough tournaments for $20 in rake paid, then you get a $10 bonus"?

Am I the only person who has to open 7-8 different tables before it stops giving geolocation issues and lets me sit?

I've all but given up playing on BetMGM...its so hard....it'll work for a few days...then geolocation issues for a week.

I would assume "raked hands" refers to cash games. Tournament fees that are kept the site are not raked bands.
There may also be an opt-in thing you have to do first.

*Skip to tldr for summary if you don't want to read whole post.

Bet MGM is a disaster.

I am currently waiting to get my account unlocked after it was put on a "hold" because, "Our geolocation provider has detected irregularities on the device and/or location where your account is being accessed from."

They are referring to my attempted use of a hotkey script written in autoit, which I was then forced to compile due to the usual omnipresent stumbling blocks native to Windows. It's noteworthy that I told support exactly what I was doing as I was doing it, including telling them I was compiling an autoit script, asking if they wanted to see the very simple source code and asking them if they indeed allowed hotkey scripts, which they affirmed.

Of course their Phillipine support is so clueless I really don't think they even understood what I was saying because it quickly became apparent that the software was scanning my hard drive and picking up the unidentified executable that was running on top of their platform.

So no big deal. After the third or so time the software kicked me off 30 hands into a session, I abandoned it. This was maybe a week ago.

The problem is now that they are telling me that a review might take up to 48 hours. Due to the extremely poor cash game action on the site, I needed to be grinding hard today, tomorrow and the following morning in order to release the first $60 of the $600 sign up bonus.

I have just read that multitabling is restricted to 4 tables although I have not reached that limit myself thus far. There are frequent time blocks on the site, especially before about 5 pm, where there are no games running at NL25 and spotty action at other stakes. As a result, grinding the site is quite difficult even for seasoned players.

Poker bonuses were developed and originally rolled out in the mid 2000s on sites that had fantastic liquidity through international player pools. While the industry standard face value of $600 looks like a solid sign up offer, the 28-day deadline to complete the wagering is far less than the standard allotted time. Coupled with the huge release increments of 10% and the scarce action that amounts to the tiniest fraction of the international traffic once enjoyed on Party, this bonus is a borderline scam.


I was concentrating on more lucrative plays until about 10 days ago and have not been grinding at anywhere near full steam. But I have been two tabling consistently over the last week plus, racking up 3500 hands at NL25. Due to the "unusual activity" long ago detected but finally acted on at just the most propitious time, it appears unlikely that I will even get the first $60 release.

Implicit here is that the casual player is unlikely to have even one dollar of EV added to their action as a result of the Bet MGM bonus, making it a borderline false promotion and a quasi scam. While this may be by design, hoping to corral players into more lucrative verticals, it probably resulted from plain ignorance of the poker space and poor implementation.

After all, if a player makes the mistake of depositing on the poker vertical and opting in to the near-worthless sign up bonus, then they miss the quite lucrative and generous $500 sports free bet. Why would the average gambler stick around after that when other great options abound?

tldr: Bet MGM's poker client suffers from poor action, badly incompetent support and back office staff who show near total ignorance of the poker space and a sign up bonus that is tantamount to a scam — the vast majority of casual players will never see $1, and it is probably close to impossible for anyone to actually get the full $600 released although maybe someone here can tell me I'm wrong.

As a tournament player, the value isn't in the deposit bonus, it's in the 'spin the wheel' promos, as well as some overlays. I can't speak for cash players.

Cool. Some of their promos, like the sports sign up bonus I mentioned, appear to be great values.

They unlocked my account. But it looks like I won't be able to get the $60 release as a result of losing most of another day of grinding so close to the bonus expiring.

Bet MGM may have benefits to counter the drawbacks. But beware that if you play here, you're playing at a site with support so bad it's literally worse than worthless.

anybody figured out how to get hand history on a Mac?
