Michigan has become the fourth state to offer the World Series of Poker online site, along with New Jersey, Nevada, and Pennsylvania, according to CDC Gaming Reports.
“We’re sorry it’s taken so long,” said World Series of Poker at Caesars Entertainment Senior Vice President Ty Stewart in a statement, “but WSOP.com is ready to make up for our late entry with industry-leading promotions, the biggest weekly tournaments, and player appreciation benefits like freerolls to the Main Event in Las Vegas.”
As part of its offerings, WSOP.com has signed a partnership with 2009 Main Event champion and Michigan resident Joe Cada. As the local poker ambassador in Michigan, Cada will play Michigan residents. Any resident who can outlast Cada in the 2022 WSOP Main Event will walk away with a $1,000 bonus.
Cada also will host live streaming sessions, participate in bounty events, and host live tournaments in Michigan.
“It’s go-time in Michigan,” Cada said in a statement. “I know a lot of local players are excited that WSOP.com is finally live in the state and I’m personally looking forward to getting to know all the great poker players at tournaments and online events soon. Game on!”
WSOP.com says the site is the only one where Michigan players may earn entry into WSOP offline events, including the Main Event. The tournament will be held at Bally’s Las Vegas Hotel and Casino and the Paris Las Vegas Hotel and Casino on the Vegas Strip for the first time starting on May 31.
WSOP.com features live-action games from No Limit Hold ’em to Pot Limit Omaha, as well as a full slate of daily guaranteed tournaments, exclusive 2022 WSOP satellites to gold bracelet events in Las Vegas.
