In an exciting announcement, Caesars Entertainment, Inc. and the World Series of Poker (WSOP) have gone live with WSOP Online, an all-new platform for real-money poker. This revolutionary project is the first of its kind to pool liquidity across three states that are now fast-rising poker havens. Specifically, it unites player pools in Michigan, Nevada, and New Jersey into a single network.
Updates to the platform include mobile support for up to four tables, more game variations (such as Omaha), and the ability to participate in multi-flight re-entry tournaments. More new features that players may anticipate include in-app gift drops and game adaptations like Mystery Bounty.
Caesars Digital’s VP of online poker, Danielle Barille, was quite complimentary of the new platform, calling it a huge win for their players. For players in all three states, the World Series of Poker (WSOP) online events will provide the year’s largest prize pools, elevating the experience and offering increased value.
The much-awaited 55th World Series of Poker began play at Horseshoe Las Vegas and Paris Las Vegas on May 28. This coincided with the debut of WSOP Online. There will be 30 online bracelet events running from June 1st to July 21st, making this year’s series the most extensive schedule to date.
There will be an official gold bracelet event every Tuesday, Saturday, and Sunday throughout the series. The events start at $333 for Triple Treys No Limit Hold’em and run all the way up to the $10,000 WSOP Online Championship on July 11. Exclusive satellites to live events will also be playable on WSOP Online, with buy-ins as little as $1.
And there is more. There are five hybrid-format high-roller events available on WSOP Online for players with large bankrolls. Participating in these tournaments will be even more exciting since the final tables will be held live at the WSOP in Las Vegas.
To ensure a smooth transition to the new platform, existing players from Nevada and New Jersey were invited to complete pre-registration. A player’s existing balance, tournament tickets, and reward points would be credited to their account no later than 72 hours after the platform becomes live. The existing service was available to players until May 27th, after which they needed to reinstall the WSOP Online app.
Transferring the data is only possible if players create a new WSOP Online account before July 31. Following this date, any remaining funds will be sent to the addresses they have listed in their accounts. Still, it is an exciting development and it will be very interesting to see how it impacts other aspects of online poker.
