The World Series of Poker, owned by Caesars Entertainment Corp., already has an online poker product running in Nevada, and just last week began a trial run for brand new online games in New Jersey, based out of struggling Atlantic City.

The games are only for those physically within the state’s borders.

The firm has announced that it will hold an online championship series in the Garden State starting on Jan. 19. The New Jersey Online Championships will begin with a $250,000 “Invitational Freeroll.” For the WSOP’s promotions page on the series click here.

According to the WSOP’s site, one needs to register for a WSOP account anytime from now until Dec. 9, download the software and log in. Doing so will result in an email on or before Jan. 16 that confirms a player’s eligibility into the freeroll on Jan. 19. Players must also make a minimum $10 deposit in order to be eligible.

After that there will be seven events with real-money buy-ins. A final freeroll will be for those who entered into the previous events. Everything adds up to $1 million.
