WSOP.com – New Jersey and 888 Poker New Jersey are working together to throw the biggest “pool” party the Garden State has ever seen in the world of online gambling.
In case you’re wondering, however, this doesn’t involve any water, just clever joint marketing and a unique opportunity for online gamblers in the state, one of only three where online gambling is permitted today.
As two of the leading, licensed online poker sites in New Jersey, the companies confirmed this week that they will begin sharing limited player liquidity immediately across their online poker rooms in the state.
“Online poker players in New Jersey will benefit from increased prize guarantees for tournaments and a greater number of players available for cash games,” a provided statement reads.
Micro and low-limit cash games and select tournaments will be part of the shared liquidity. Each site will continue to maintain its individual reward and VIP programs and players will earn points towards these programs only when they play on the specific site. Both WSOP.com and 888Poker have agreed to limit the liquidity share to specific cash game and tournament tables in order to effectively monitor and ultimately determine what the right mix will be for the customer base.
“This is an excellent step forward for us and should help in building a larger audience and player base for online poker in New Jersey,” says David Licht, CEO of the All American Poker Network (AAPN). “Shared liquidity will help create a better player experience, we hope will attract a diversity of players and begin to bring poker to a broader audience once again.”
