WSOP Announces New Online Registration Process47th Annual Running Gives Players New Option To Save Time |
|
The World Series of Poker announced last week that it has opened a revamped online registration process for summer 2016.
According to a press release, the WSOP, property of Caesars, partnered with Genesis Gaming Solutions, Inc., a company known for its Bravo Poker Tournament Software, to give players another way to sign up for 2016 bracelet events. You can, of course, still register for events in person. This year will see 69 events from May 31 to July 18.
The new registration process allows “any participant that registers online in advance for their selected event(s), to avoid visiting the registration cage once on-site at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas,” the WSOP said. In other words, you can avoid super long lines.
“Simply put, players that plan in advance will be able to save a lot of time at the event this year. For those that wait until the last minute, this new enhancement will not have relevance.”
Customers using the service will be required to have a Caesars Total Rewards Card.
The WSOP gave a detailed explanation for what to do once you reach the Rio.
Once the participant completes the online process (including sending in payment) for one or more events, they then only have to show up in the Rio Convention Center Rotunda Area Fast Pass Total Rewards Desk one hour prior to their event’s start, to show proof of identification and have their identity verified. If the method of payment is credit card, the participant must also present the credit card used for the online registration. Once verified, the participant will receive seat assignments and receipts for any and all event(s) this participant has registered for and can proceed to their starting room, table and seat at the participant’s leisure.
