Previous Bonus Code Information

The following text is no longer valid as of September 19, 2013

If you live in Nevada and play poker you have heard, WSOP.com is now available for real money! This means when you deposit a “promotion code” can be used giving you an additional bonus. Our site has been designated to offer our website visitors a promo for signing up. The WSOP poker site is available for all players living inside of Nevada. Other countries/states may be allowed to play after this initial testing, but we do not expect this on a large scale until 2015.

Any new player that signs up from a link on our site, Compatible Poker, will get $500 in bonus dollars credited to their poker account along with an exclusive $3,500 new player freeroll.

How the WSOP Bonus Works

100% Bonus up to $500
Bonus Released in 1 (one) Lump Sum (not instantly released)
$1 accrued for every 10 WSOP Bonus Points earned
Any bonus dollars earned is invalid after 30 days
Bonus not valid if you have an account at any Cassava skin (bad)

Other Bonuses and Promotions

WSOP will offer new players a chance to get registered into a $50,000 freeroll. This is only valid for a limited number of new depositors because the website is so new.

When you redeposit you’ll automatically get a chance to win a seat to a $1,000 freeroll. WSOP picks and chooses who gets the seats so it’s not automatic every time you redeposit.

My Opinion of the WSOP Promotions

It’s a pretty standard promotion for the WSOP and I’m actually pretty surprised they didn’t incorporate more World Series of Poker packages or free hotel stay as bonuses and promotions. I expect this to change in 2012 when they offer money games to the United States.

As for the actual bonus I was again slightly disappointed that they would not allow players who have played at any Cassava skin eligibility of the bonus. This seems completely unfair to anyone who’s played at Pacific Poker, Luckyace Poker etc. They are completely seperate brands and players shouldn’t be penalized and not allowed the WSOP bonus. Also, Cassava brands usually give the bonus upfront, but this is not the case for WSOP online poker.

WSOP and Rakeback

Rakeback is NOT an option at the WSOP online poker website. Instead of Rakeback, the WSOP is offer a “Status and Rewards” system. This offering is weekly and monthly freerolls up to $25,000. The more you play, the more your status moves up from Silver, Bronze, Gold, Platinum then to VIP. As the website grows they have plans to expand the rewards system. As it is right now, it’s not all that “rewarding” if you ask me.

About WSOP Online Poker

Run by Harrah’s is the World Series of Poker (WSOP) poker site. It is the same software platform that you see on Pacific Poker (Cassava). At first it will be strictly for those overseas, including the United Kindom and Europe being the primary markets.

Many believe this new partnership with 888’s software “dragonfish” is the beginning to the entering of the US online poker market. While this is all speculation, things seem to be falling right in place and Harrah’s and 888 will both be 1st in line to grab a huge part of the US market if and when it becomes legal to gamble online in the US.

It should also be noted that Dragonfish will handle all of the financial transactions so no outsourcing will be needed. There will be streamless depositing and withdrawing for US players if the time comes.

As of now, the WSOP poker site will focus on European markets as the US market is still under speculation of legalizing their online gaming.

When Will The WSOP Poker Site Come to the US?

With the law now allowing for internet poker in the United States they are expected the WSOP to be open by late 2012. Many legal matters must be attended to but because poker is legal in the US it won’t be long.
