WSOP becomes the first poker operator to pool
liquidity across three United States jurisdictions, allowing
players in Michigan to compete on the same network with Nevada and
New Jersey
Caesars Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: CZR) (“Caesars”) and the
World Series of Poker® (WSOP®) today announced the launch of an
all-new real-money poker platform, WSOP Online that combines player
pools in Michigan, Nevada and New Jersey into one network. The move
makes online poker history, as WSOP becomes the first poker
operator to pool liquidity across three U.S. jurisdictions.
WSOP.COM officially rebrands as WSOP Online, featuring upgraded
functionality such as four-table capabilities on mobile, including
Omaha, multi-flight re-entry tournaments, in-app gift drops, and
exciting game derivatives, including Mystery Bounty. Poker players
can also expect exciting new features, bigger promotions, and
weekly tournaments with more players than ever before.
“This platform upgrade is long overdue and is a big win for our
players,” said Danielle Barille, Vice President of Online Poker at
Caesars Digital. “The best is yet to come for WSOP Online
tournaments, and we’re thrilled to bring Michigan players into the
fold with Nevada and New Jersey, resulting in a better experience,
more value, and the biggest prize pools of the year.”
Effective immediately, existing players in Nevada and New Jersey
should go online to complete the pre-registration process to create
an account on the new platform. Once players create a new username,
any existing balances, tournament tickets, and rewards points will
be transferred into the player account within 72 hours of the
launch of the new platform. Players can still enjoy playing on the
existing service until May 27. After the pre-registration period,
current players will be prompted to re-install the WSOP Online
app.
The launch of the upgraded WSOP Online real-money poker app
comes at the perfect time, as the 55th edition of the World Series
of Poker will kick off on May 28 at Horseshoe Las Vegas and Paris
Las Vegas, and features the largest slate of online bracelet events
ever.
This summer will see 30 online bracelet events beginning June 1
and culminating with the last WSOP bracelet contest on July 21.
Every Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday of the series will feature an
official gold bracelet up for grabs, from the $333 Triple Treys No
Limit Hold’em event celebrating the professional basketball
championship series to the new $10,000 WSOP Online Championship on
July 11.
In addition, exclusive satellites to qualify for land-based
tournaments will be offered on WSOP Online, with entry fees as low
as $1. There will also be daily single-table satellites and massive
promotions, such as the guaranteed 25-seat Main Event
mega-satellites on June 30 and July 3.
Five high-roller events will also begin on WSOP Online, playing
under a hybrid format, with their final tables contested live in
Las Vegas at the WSOP. The hybrid events that begin online on June
18 and June 29 will play through their final six players live on
July 14, those that take place on July 10 and 11 will play live on
July 15, and the online event on July 13 will have its final six
players finish live on July 17.
*All tournaments are subject to change and cancellation. Please
check the WSOP Online client for the most up-to-date schedule.
