In Pennsylvania, WSOP.com doesn’t share liquidity with other states at this time. The platform also offers a new software update that other states haven’t seen yet. That has been received well with players.
“I like the new software setup,” says Christopher Larrea, a poker player from Philadelphia. “I will be playing more often online if they continue to have big tournaments.”
