New WSOP Online Poker Site Merges Three US States; 30 Online Bracelet Events Scheduled
Table Of Contents
The World Series of Poker (WSOP) is set to make a move that will change the online poker game in the US with the upcoming launch of WSOP Online, a new platform that will bring players from three states together.
Poker players in Nevada and New Jersey are already competing against each other on WSOP.com, while those in Michigan have a separate single-state site. But that's going to change soon with the trio of states being merged together on one online poker site ahead of the 2024 WSOP, which begins May 28 at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. Pennsylvania's WSOP site will not be part of the shared liquidity deal.
On top of the merger news that has helped to fully cement it as one of the top rated US poker sites, the WSOP has announced via a press release plans to host 30 online bracelet events this summer on the new WSOP Online.
Making Poker History
For the first time ever, a legal and licensed poker site within the US will have three separate states merged together. Beyond the increased player pool, Caesars Entertainment will be upgrading the software in time for the merger.
“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.”
WSOP.com's players in Nevada and New Jersey should go online immediately to go through the pre-registration process to create an account on the new platform. Customers can choose a new username if they so desire. The current platform will remain in operation until May 27 when the software upgrade takes place.
Following the conclusion of the upgrade, players will be prompted to install the new WSOP Online software.
Starting June 1, WSOP Online will host the first online bracelet event of the summer with the last of 30 events taking place July 21. Bracelet events will take place every Tuesday, Saturday, and Sunday. The series is highlighted by a $10,000 buy-in Championship event on July 11 and five hybrid high roller tournaments with the final tables being played out live in Las Vegas.

WSOP Online Poker Merger FAQs
What is shared liquidity?
Shared liquidity in poker refers to the pooling of players and funds across multiple jurisdictions or networks to create a larger player pool and increase the number of games available. This pooling allows players from different regions to compete against each other at the same tables, leading to larger tournaments, more cash games, and ultimately a more vibrant and competitive poker ecosystem. In this case, with the creation of WSOP Online, it means that players from Nevada, New Jersey and Michigan can compete against one another.
How do you register for WSOP Online?
Registering a new account at WSOP Online should be a quick and easy process. Simply complete the registration form at WSOP Online and submit your required documents.
Why do I have to create a new account?
Because new software is necessary to allow players from Nevada, New Jersey and Michigan to play together, it is necessary for players from Nevada and New Jersey to create new accounts.
Why can’t I have my old username?
Because players from New Jersey and Nevada are required to create a new account and a new username, it cannot be guaranteed that your previous username will be available. Please choose your name wisely as requests to change your username in the future may not be permitted.
Will I get a new account bonus?
Yes, according to WSOP Online, at the time of publication you will receive a 100% up to $1,000 Deposit Bonus, a WSOP Main Event Seat Drawing entry, and seven Free Spins. (Remember, welcome bonuses are subject to change, so always check the terms and conditions before signing up).
What happens to my account If I don’t create a new account?
According to WSOP, player databases will be maintained in a ready state for a TBD time period. You can request a withdrawal from that account at any time. When that database is eventually archived, all balances will be sent to players and the accounts will be permanently closed. Of course, you are free to create a new account at any time before or after that time.
Can I transfer my bankroll from my old Account to my new account?
If you sign up at WSOP Online, your bankroll can be moved over on a case-by-case basis and can take 24 – 48 hours to process. Visit WSOP Online to find out more about this process.
Will my bonuses transfer?
If you register before July 31, 2024, your immediate bonuses will be transferred over in seven business days. Additionally, players will also be eligible for the current reload bonus. Visit WSOP Online to find out more about the process.
Will my Tournament Tickets transfer?
Yes, your tournament tickets will be transferred to your new account. If you register before July 31, 2024, your tournament tickets will be transferred over in seven business days. Visit WSOP Online to find out more about this process.
Will my player notes transfer over?
No, player notes will not be transferred. Because player notes are based on usernames, there is no reliable way for player notes to distinguish between the old username and any new username.
