WSOP.com Nevada Celebrates First Anniversary
WSOP.com launched in Nevada on September 17, 2013. Today marks the first anniversary of Nevada’s second regulated online poker site. The official launch date was September 19, but most players were able to get into action during the testing period.
WSOP.com Nevada Anniversary Promotions
WSOP.com Nevada is offering several promotions to celebrate its first full year of regulated online poker in the state. The first is a 100% up to $400 reload bonus. The bonus clears at a rate of $10 for every $50 in rake paid. The bonus code is FALL2014. Players may claim the bonus between September 19 and September 28. Players have 60 days to clear the bonus.
Players will earn double APPs September 19-27. Tournament tickets will go on sale for 24 hours starting at 9:19AM on September 19. That is exact time of the official launch, although the site had been live for about two days at that point. Tournament fees will be discounted by 50% on tickets purchased during this time.
The Super Sunday tournament will see a $25,000 guaranteed prize pool this weekend. That is $10,000 more than the usual one. There are $25 Super Satellites on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Each satellite has a guarantee of five tickets to the main event.
Reflecting on WSOP Past Year
WSOP.com brought a lot of firsts to Nevadans. It was the first site for Omaha, Omaha High/Low, Seven Card Stud and Seven Card Stud High/Low. Notes, hand replayers and other table features were also offered in the Nevada poker market for the first time.
Since the launch, several features have been added. Geolocation has been improved. Neteller is now a deposit option. Cash deposits and withdrawals are now functional at Rio. Deposits started during the World Series of Poker. Withdrawals were added after a system update later in the summer.
WSOP.com Nevada was the top regulated online poker site in the country during the World Series of Poker. Its cash game traffic doubled with the influx of visitors interested in playing poker. It was also the home to many WSOP satellites, another first for a regulated Nevada site, which generated extra tournament players. These could all be played in the Grind Room in the Rio Convention Center.
WSOP.com Nevada is currently the number one regulated online poker site in Nevada.
