Every month, each state conducts its own web series. All three marketplaces are restricted to their specific regions, ensuring that participants only compete with others in their state. The guaranteed awards may change between states. Players in New Jersey can enter the events through either Partypoker NJ or Borgata Poker NJ. All three sites share the player pool.
