One year ago, WSOP.com added Caesars Interactive Entertainment to their family. This addition allowed a very profitable launch of a Nevada-only online poker game that allows real money play.
With this announcement, WSOP.com took online poker playing by storm. According to Pokernews.com, “Following Ultimate Poker’s entry into the newly-regulated online poker market in late April 2013, WSOP.com swiftly overtook the lead in real money online poker traffic in Nevada by early November, albeit among a modest-sized player base.”
Howard Stutz, a writer for the Casino City Times, recently explained how WSOP.com has maintained their leading role in Nevada’s online poker world.
“In one year of operation WSOP.com has registered more than 100,000 accounts, has dealt more than 15 million hands of real money poker, and has staged more than 14,500 tournaments in Nevada,” Stutz says. “The site’s greatest traffic during its first year of operation predictably came during this summer’s World Series of Poker, including WSOP.com’s biggest ever tournament in mid-June attracting 1,235 players in which 25 seats to this year’s WSOP Main Event were won.”
Naturally, to be expected with an anniversary comes gifts, promotions, and bonuses. Throughout the last month, WSOP.com held many promotions, which have served to only heighten the attention and interest swirling around its thriving online platform.
