How does Global Poker work?

Global Poker is America’s fastest growing online social gaming site.The platform operates as sweepstakes site and is available to players in the US and Canada (except Washington and Quebec). 

Online players can use a free-to-play currency called Gold Coins (GC) to play in:

  • ring games
  • sit and go’s
  • ring games
  • multi-table tournaments

The site offers plenty of Texas Hold’em and Pot Limit Omaha action as well as some Crazy Pineapple events.

Gold Coins aren’t redeemable for prizes. However, players can purchase Gold Coins and receive bonus sweepstakes prizes called Sweeps Coins (SC). Sweeps Coins won from the site can be redeemed for real cash prizes and gift cards.

WSOP.com Pennsylvania Launch Delayed Until 2021

Pennsylvania online poker players will have to wait a little longer before they can play on WSOP.com. According to a Caesars representative, it will now be at least 2021 before WSOP.com PA will launch.

No timeline for WSOP.com PA launch until early next year

As of now, there remains no specific launch date for WSOP.com PA. A timeline may become available at the start of next year.

After months of anticipation, WSOP.com had moved one step closer to opening in PA following a Sept. 30 meeting of the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB). At that meeting, the PGCB approved an interactive gaming manufacturer license for Caesars’ online poker partner 888 Holdings.

That news appeared to indicate a WSOP.com PA launch could be fast approaching. However, there are a couple PA-specific issues that could be causing a delay.

One concerns the need for WSOP to establish a separate server for the PA site per regulatory requirements. The other may involve the question of whether or not WSOP.com will be able to share player liquidity with its sites in other states.

It is not clear whether WSOP.com will necessarily want or need to have such an interstate compact already in place before launching WSOP.com in Pennsylvania. Having one would be favorable, of course, in that it would allow Pennsylvania players to play against larger fields including players from other states.

Such a compact allowed players on WSOP.com sites in Nevada and New Jersey to compete against one another for WSOP online bracelets over the summer.

PA players hopes raised by promotions, other indicators

News of the delay comes just as some Pennsylvania online poker players were starting to think WSOP.com PA was about deal its first virtual hands.

Over the past week some Pennsylvanians with Caesars accounts received promotional messages regarding the imminent launch of WSOP.com PA.

The promotions also appeared on the WSOP.com website for a time, though are not presently posted. Promotions included a 100% deposit match bonus up to $1,000 and entries to Welcome Week Freerolls for new sign-ups.

Meanwhile WSOP.com banner does now include a Harrah’s Philadelphia logo. There is also a PA-specific “House Rules” page on the site, presumably in anticipation of the room’s launch.

The rules mostly concern game play, although do include that “players must be at least 21 years of age, and physically located in the State of Pennsylvania” to play on WSOP.com.

Meanwhile the WSOP-branded live poker room at Harrah’s Philadelphia now appears to be permanently closed. While other PA live rooms are just starting to reopen following COVID-related closures, in August employees of the Harrah’s Philadelphia poker room reported it had closed with no plans to reopen.

PokerStars PA online poker monopoly will extend into second year

Pennsylvania is now approaching the one-year anniversary of the launch of the state’s first legal online room, PokerStars PA. PokerStars launched its Pennsylvania site during the first week of November 2019.

Along with WSOP.com, many have speculated that partypoker could also soon challenge PokerStars’ online poker monopoly in the Keystone State. While a summer or fall launch of partypoker once seemed possible, that, too, currently appears in limbo.

GVC Holdings owns the partypoker platform. Along with MGM, GVC also jointly owns ROAR Digital. For the last few months ROAR has been awaiting approval from the PGCB for its license to operate in Pennsylvania. However the regulators’ iGaming Operators Eligibility List still lists its application status as pending.

READY FOR LIFTOFF: WSOP.com Nearing Launch in Pennsylvania

After 888poker was recently approved by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB), a WSOP.com launch in the Keystone State seemed close. That now appears imminent with the recent launch of several online pages related to WSOP.com Pennsylvania.

WSOP.com partners with 888poker for its software in the US. The recent PA online additions include co-branding with WSOP’s partner casino in the state – Harrah’s Philadelphia.

Many players in  the state have been eagerly awaiting another poker option and that now appears close. PokerStars entered the state in November 2019, but players should soon have an alternative.

What to expect from WSOP.com PA

Unlike players in New Jersey and Nevada, players in the Keystone State will welcome in a “ringed-in” WSOP poker market. That means players will only battle against others within the state.

The state hasn’t approved interstate compacts yet because of the issues surrounding the Wire Act.

The Department of Justice has argued the act applies to other forms of online gaming outside sports. The DOJ has lost the first round in court, but the issue remains in appeals court.

PokerStars has been operating in the same environment and found some success. The addition of WSOP.com adds some momentum to the US online poker. While revenue has declined in recent months, 2020 numbers are way up year over year.

Andrew Langston is a 27-year-old recreational player living in York, PA. He is active in PA poker Facebook groups and is a regular online player.

He believes many players in his home state will be excited for a second online poker option. Lagston hopes his home state can be a real leader in regulated US online poker.

“I honestly think it will be great,” Langston says. “While PokerStarsPA has overall been a great addition to poker In the state, it does have its flaws. I think a little competition in the Pennsylvania market will only be good for the players.

“I haven’t done any research yet, but I would hope we will be able to compete with New Jersey and Nevada and be eligible for WSOP events in the future.”

Some competition in the state should make all sites better, Langston believes.

“I think players were excited when PokerStars came to the state but have had some growing pains with them,” he says. “I think a fresh start with WSOP will help give us options and force PokerStars to listen to the players or lose them to a rival site.”

More WSOP.com PA details still to come

WSOP.com is the online arm of the World Series of Poker and operated by Caesars Interactive Entertainment. While no launch date has been announced yet, Caesars received approval from the PGCB earlier this year. 

The company already operates online casino gaming in PA. Now with 888 also receiving approval, a poker launch seemed inevitable.

In its new online branding, WSOP.com has detailed the legalese surrounding the new PA site. The operator has also launched some bonus and information pages as it prepares to enter the market.

WSOP.com remains the US market leader because of its presence in three states, known as the All American Poker Network.

In New Jersey, 888 also operates its own online poker platform. That site as well 888’s Delaware online poker platform, shares player pools with Nevada and New Jersey. It remains unknown if 888 will also run its own poker skin in PA.

WSOP.com adds the cachet of the annual poker series that debuted in Las Vegas in 1970. Players in NJ and Nevada have the opportunity to win WSOP Circuit championship rings as well as online gold bracelets as at the live series.

No plans have been announced in this regard, but PA players should expect some interesting tournament options. WSOP/888 offer players a more narrow number of game variations – Texas Hold’em and Omaha.

Many rounders in the state will simply be pleased to have another option.

Expanding the market, gaining some online poker momentum

PA would make a nice addition to the All American network – doubling the number of players available. The four states with legalized online online poker have populations of:

  • Pennsylvania –12.8 million
  • New Jersey – 8.9 million
  • Nevada – 3.1 million
  • Delaware – 974,000

A future PA addition to the network would bring the All American Poker Network to cover almost 26 million people. Michigan and West Virginia have also legalized online poker but are still in the licensing and regulation stages.

A positive ruling in the Wire Act case could offer even more opportunities for the slowly growing US online market. The Michigan Senate approved a bill legalizing interstate compacts on Sept. 30. The House was expected to do the same.

An interstate compact would also be ideal for West Virginia, a rural state that would struggle as its own market.

A federal appeals court heard arguments in the Wire Act case in June. A ruling is expected soon and could have major ramifications on iGaming beyond poker.

If things continue to go in the gaming industry’s direction, this could offer a shot at major growth in online poker. Adding Pennsylvania to interstate compacts could offer even bigger player and prize pools.

PokerStars also offers online poker in PA and New Jersey. A positive ruling could allow the company to eventually combine those two player pools as well.

USPoker will monitor the Pennsylvania situation as more information becomes available.

FALLING INTO FALL: Online Poker Revenue Continues Decline, But Up Overall Year Over Year

Online poker saw huge spikes during the COVID-19 pandemic in early spring when all live rooms were closed. That has edged downward in recent months and that included another slide in September.

Revenue numbers may have come down month, but overall online casino gaming also continues to grow.

Brick and mortar poker rooms are also reopening throughout the northeast. That could account for some decline in the monthly numbers.

NJ numbers slide in September

The NJ Division of Gaming Enforcement’s (NJDGE) revenue reports showed poker operators brought in $2.5 million in September. That’s down from the $3.1 million in August and continues a slide from a record-breaking peak of $5.1 million in April.

The positive angle is a 55.8% increase year over year for online poker in New Jersey for September. Currently there are three online poker operators in NJ:

WSOP.com remained at the top of the charts in September. The operator reported slightly over $1 million for the month. This was down from $1.3 million in August.

The site is partnered with Caesars in NJ. It’s the only regulated site in the country sharing liquidity among NJ and Nevada, and with 888poker in Delaware. 

Even though partypoker (along with the BorgataPoker.com and BetMGM skins) took second for the month, the company scored a victory. Partypoker slid up from third and showed a revenue increase month over month.

The site reported $781,912, up from $750,126 in August. In September, the operator joined forces with the World Poker Tour for the Online Borgata Series. The combined effort helped for an increase in monthly revenue.

PokerStars dropped to $767,272 in September, down from $971,811 in August and $1.1 million in July. Regularly finishing second in the market, the site looks to rebound in October. 

The New Jersey Championship of Online Poker (NJCOOP) is running Oct. 10-25 with 54 events and a $1 million guarantee.

Live poker returning to Garden State

Poker rooms in the state have been closed since March. The Borgata recently announced it will be the first New Jersey casino to reopen live poker. 

In July, Gov. Phil Murphy (D) rescinded his executive order and allowed for the reopening of Atlantic City casinos. However, poker rooms remained closed.

The reopening of physical casinos in Atlantic City hasn’t deterred the growth of online casino gaming. New Jersey reported huge revenue numbers again in September – bringing in $87.6 million.

The total represented a 113% year-over-year increase. This is the second-biggest month on record for online gaming in the Garden State. 

According to the NJDGE, the state brought in total gaming taxes of $32 million for September. Gaming taxes represent 8% of taxable casino gross revenue and 15% of Internet gaming gross revenue.

Revenue dips in PA, WSOP.com moves to enter market

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) reported online poker revenue of $2.3 million in revenue in September. This was down from $2.7 million in August.

PokerStars partners with Mount Airy Casino in Pennsylvania. The property which became the first casino in the state to reopen its poker room on Friday.

The site just finished up the Pennsylvania Championship of Online Poker (PACOOP). The championship event ran into October, which may help with next month’s revenue report.

The state tax on online poker is 14% and the commonwealth benefited from tax revenue of $332,646 in September. 

PokerStars’ monopoly in the state may be coming to a close soon. The PGCB recently approved 888 Holdings for a  gaming license in Pennsylvania.

888poker is WSOP.com’s software partner and Caesars was already approved by the PGCB earlier this year. An official WSOP.com launch in PA hasn’t been announced yet.  

However, WSOP.com has already launched pages outlining some of what is planned. USPoker will continue to update this when more is known.

Delaware online poker dips slightly

The Delaware Lottery reported online poker in the first state totaled $51,403 in September. Those results are slightly down from $54,584 in August and $62,603 in July.

Delaware Park holds the trophy in the state by accounting for half of the poker revenue.

All Delaware online poker is operated through the 888poker platform. The site runs a shared player pool through Delaware Park, Dover Downs, and Harrington Casinos.

The state’s players benefit from being part of the WSOP.com shared liquidity pool with players in Nevada and NJ.

Delaware live rooms are still down because of Coronavirus pandemic closures. 

Gov. John Carney’s (D) reopening plan allows for casinos to open limited hours and occupancy. Under his order, live poker rooms remained closed however.

SHUFFLE UP & DEAL: New Jersey Live Poker Returns Next Week at Borgata

With the announcement this week that Pennsylvania is seeing poker rooms reopen, New Jersey players have also received some good news. The first of the state’s live poker rooms is set to reopen next week.

Garden State players have been locked out of live play for months during the Coronavirus pandemic shutdown. Now the Borgata is set to reopen its poker room next Wednesday, Oct. 21, at 10 a.m. (ET).

“We are happy to welcome back our loyal players as we reopen Atlantic City’s market-leading East Coast poker destination,” president and COO Melonie Johnson told the Press of Atlantic City.

What to expect from the Borgata poker room reopening

The Borgata has become one of the East Coast’s premier poker destinations and poker revenue leader in New Jersey. The venue regularly hosts World Poker Tour events as well as its own popular series throughout the year.

The MGM property also runs BorgataPoker.com online poker as a skin of the partypoker US Network. The two recently teamed up for the WPT Borgata Online, which proved to be a nice success.

The state produced record online poker revenues in 2020. Players also yearning for some live action now have at least one Atlantic City option.

Those returning to the Borgata will find some changes. Visitors will find 30 socially-distanced tables with seven-handed play. Polycarbonate dividers are used to separate players and masks are required throughout the casino.

Upon reopening, the Borgata implemented MGM’s “Seven-Point Safety Plan” with additional safety protocols and procedures. Some of those include:

  • temperature checks
  • social distancing
  • thorough cleaning and filtration systems
  • additional hand washing and sanitizer stations throughout the casino
  • the use of digital menus

Additionally, drink service will be available, but food won’t be served in the poker room.

Borgata return is welcome news to some Garden State players 

Borgata is the first in the market to announce a reopening. Players will be welcomed back with only cash game play initially. 

The property hasn’t announced a timetable for when tournaments may return. The room’s bad beat jackpot will begin at $100,000.

Garden State grinder Dan Lupo plans to continue online for now. However, he knows many who are ready to hit the Borgata table.

Just before the pandemic, MGM also announced the launch of the East Coast Poker Tour. The property and online poker site were to be key parts of those events along with MGM Springfield and MGM National Harbor.

No word on when the tour as well as major tournament series will return. Atlantic City has four other live poker rooms:

None of those properties have announced any plans for reopening yet. But with the market leader now returning, more may be ready to get dealt in soon.

GETTING CLOSE: First Pennsylvania Poker Room Set to Reopen Friday

Live poker has been on hold for months in Pennsylvania but that may be changing soon. The first of the state’s live poker rooms is expected to reopen on Friday.

Mount Airy Casino, PokerStars’ land-based partner in PA, is set to be the first to get the tables back open. The move comes as other properties in the state are also working toward reopening.

With other states allowing live poker for months, many poker players in PA are ready to return to the action.

Mount Airy looks to be first back in action

The reopening is welcome news to many poker players in the state. PlayPennsylvania reported last week that some properties had submitted safety protocol plans to the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB).

Mount Airy seems to be the first heading to reopen. USPoker spoke with a poker room representative on Tuesday.

mount airy casino PA

The property hopes to reopen its 12-table room on Friday at noon and is expecting a big player turnout. However, the representative noted that plans could change depending on negotiations with the PGCB.

The property has numerous safety efforts in place including:

  • Only seven players to a table
  • Masks required
  • Plexiglass partitions in place between players

Poker room officials will stick to cash games for now. Adding tournaments back to the mix is expected sometime in the future.

Others hope to shuffle up and deal soon

All live poker has been paused in the Keystone State since mid-March. That predicament led to many players moving online during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The state has seen record online poker revenue since then and PokerStars remains the only operator in the state. The site just completed a huge Pennsylvania Online Championship of Online Poker (PACOOP) series.

However, 888poker and Caesars have also now been approved and expected to launch in the coming months.

Those looking for live action have been out of luck. That appears to be changing and others are considering reopening as well.

USPoker has learned that the Parx poker room is expected to open within the next five weeks. Poker rooms were left out of casino reopening plans from the PGCB in May. Several others are also submitting safety plans to the board.

States such as Nevada, Florida, Maryland, North Carolina, have already reopened poker rooms. Some properties and tour operators have also begun slowly reviving the live tournament scene.

Like Pennsylvania, New Jersey poker rooms have yet to reopen.

PA players ready to get back to the tables

While safety is important in the current environment, some players are ready to resume live poker. Some wonder why PA is so far behind other states in getting back to the tables.

Bryan Carter, 35, lives in Monongahela, about 20 miles from the Meadows and Rivers casinos just south of Pittsburgh. He’s a recreational player and works at a plastic production facility.

Poker is a fun pastime for Carter, and he usually takes about five trips a year to play major tournaments. He’s frustrated live poker has been closed so long but glad to see at least a start in returning.

“I’m a much bigger fan of live poker and would play regularly again as soon as the poker rooms open up,” he says. “I have a lot of friends in Cherokee, North Carolina, and they are playing five-handed with dividers.

“Seems like it should be everyone’s own choice on what they feel is safe and make their own decision on if they want to play and go to a poker room when they feel comfortable. I’m ready and feel safe enough to play, that’s for sure.”

Carter is also ready for major poker festivals to return as well.

“Bring back big live tournaments,” he added. “I’m ready to travel after being inside for 10 months.”

Pittsburgh’s Matthew Anderson, 36, works as a CrossFit coach, personal trainer, and Uber driver. He’s also a recreational poker player and echoed some of those comments about reopening poker rooms.

“Honestly, I wish they were open already,” he says. “Even if they choose to take precautions it would be nice to play again.”
