We’re one week into October and even though the year is coming closer to its end, 2023 still has lots to offer in terms of poker. We’ve been treated with an action-filled poker summer both in terms of live- and online poker events, and there is no doubt that the fall will deliver its fair share of interesting series, lucrative offers, exciting live poker stops and more.

There are of course certain things that should be highlighted. In the near future, there will be a very exciting live poker event in Dublin – which players are now able to qualify for. All the PKO lovers are also treated with a huge Bounty series on the online scene. Also, what’s the latest regarding the iGaming market in the US? Let us dive into these three subjects and dissect them one by one!

Partypoker keeps treating us with good live events, and what’s not to expect from such a long-time giant on the global poker scene?

Current iGaming Regulations in the United States

iGaming/online betting regulations in the USA have always been a bit shaky. The laws and the conditions to play online US poker vary between the states. For example, states like Florida, Ohio, Virginia and Washington do not allow online poker in the traditional fashion. There are even more states than the four aforementioned ones; the fact that Texas Hold ‘Em isn’t allowed in Texas strikes many as irony.

Even though regulated US poker is a hot potato in the States, players are still finding ways to play online poker and online US casino games. One of the latest big developments in online poker, the sweepstakes poker model, has enabled many online poker prospects to enjoy the game. There are many US casino sites that uses the sweepstakes model.

For the online casino/online poker lowers, social casinos are also a great tool to enjoy your favorite game. Online casinos are always free to play. SugarHouse Casino, for example, is a site that offers many different games that are free to play.

The Upcoming GG Bounty Hunter Series

It is hard to talk about online poker these days and not mention GGPoker. The site just recently concluded the WSOP Online series, and they are also preparing for WSOP Paradise at the Bahamas in December through their campaign Road to Paradise. As if this wasn’t enough, they are now announcing their upcoming Bounty Hunter Series!

GGPoker series that will focus solely on Bounty tournaments? Yes, that is correct: running from October 15th to November 2^nd, heads will roll over on the GGPoker client. Except for all the appealing online poker tournaments that will compose the bounty hunter schedule, there are a few key aspects of the Bounty Hunter Series that need to be highlighted. The series will have an overall guaranteed prize pool of a whopping $50,000,000. The $210 Mystery Bounty Main Event, which will be played November 6^th, not only guarantees a $5,000,000 prize pool but also a $500,000 Top Bounty. There will also be a Bounty Jackpot for all events, with a cold $1,000,000 as the top prize.

We can’t forget about the $10,000 + Bounty King Daily Leaderboard! Every day, the total knockouts made by a player across all buy-in levels will be tracked and the one who stands tallest on the leaderboard will collect his or her price.

What’s better is that the series will include a tournament with exclusive access by first-time depositors at GGPoker! This is surely a creative way of welcoming new players to the GGPoker client.
