WSOP Launches New Online Poker Platform Including Michigan PlayersA Look At Shared Liquidity In New Jersey, Nevada, And Michigan |
|
Caesars Entertainment and the World Series of Poker have launched an all-new WSOP Online real-money poker platform. The platform now combines player pools in Michigan, Nevada, and New Jersey into one network.
WSOP Online now becomes the first operator to pool liquidity across three U.S. jurisdictions, rebranding the site in the process. The platform announced upgraded functionality including: four-table capabilities on mobile, including Omaha; multi-flight re-entry tournaments; in-app gift drops; and new game offerings such as mystery bounty events.
“This platform upgrade is long overdue and is a big win for our players,” Caesars Digital Vice President of Online Poker Danielle Barille said. “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.”
Details On The New Platform
The new platform went live on Tuesday in conjunction with the annual WSOP kicking off in Las Vegas. The company also released the online bracelet schedule over the weekend, which includes 30 events beginning June 1 for all three markets.
Pennsylvania has yet to join the country’s Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement (MSIGA) and will get a separate series with seven events.
Growing Poker Landscape
By adding Michigan’s 10 million population, the prospective player pool has nearly doubled with New Jersey having 9.3 million and Nevada having 3.2 million.
That now totals 22.5 million and could potentially grow even larger with the addition of two other MSIGA members. Delaware (1 million) was a part of the WSOP.com shared liquidity pool until that state chose a new online gaming operator last year. West Virginia (1.8 million) joined the interstate gaming compact last year and state gaming officials expect an operator to go live there this year.
Pennsylvania legislators are also currently considering joining the MSIGA, potentially adding a population of another 13 million. New York is also now considering legalizing online poker. With a population of 19.7 million, the Empire State would be a huge boost.
WSOP isn’t the only operator offering a shared liquidity platform in the U.S. PokerStars also pools player pools in Michigan and New Jersey.
