Interstate liquidity sharing between Nevada<\/strong>, New Jersey<\/strong>, and Delaware<\/strong> is slated to begin on May 1, and WSOP.com<\/strong> is not sitting idly by waiting for the day to arrive.<\/p>\n

WSOP.com is gearing up for the big day by moving multiple pieces into position, targeting existing and potential players with new promotions, more offerings, and increased rewards in conjunction with its larger player pool.<\/p>\n

In a press release issued this week, WSOP.com announced a number of significant changes<\/strong> it plans to roll out when liquidity sharing goes live.<\/p>\n

“We can’t wait for our existing players and hopefully a host of first-time players to experience the new WSOP.com,” said WSOP.com Head of Online Poker Bill Rini<\/strong>.  “With the advent of tri-state shared liquidity, we have completely revamped our tournament schedules, our cash games offerings, our loyalty program and our promotional calendar to deliver the best online poker experience in this new world order.”<\/p>\n

Let’s make this a seamless transition<\/span><\/h2>\n

Before diving into the new offerings and benefits that await players on the new WSOP.com, here’s what existing players should do in order to make sure their transition is a smooth one.<\/p>\n

According to WSOP.com:<\/p>\n

\n

“The change will require existing and new players in Delaware and Nevada to register for a new account and download the new poker software.  Existing players in New Jersey will be ready to play when shared liquidity goes live without the need to create a new account or pre-register, while new players must create an account.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Nevada and Delaware players that want to lock up a favorite screen-name can start pre-registering for a new account on April 24<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Upon pre-registering\/registering, customers will find their bankroll balance, tournament tickets, and loyalty points transferred to their new account<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Further, all Nevada players who successfully pre-register are entered into a drawing for a $10,000 WSOP Main Event seat<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It also appears WSOP.com is proactively changing screen-names for Nevada players that have accounts registered in both states in an effort to maintain the person’s preferred screen name.<\/p>\n

\n

That would be correct. If you had no play in NJ and had played in NV, we weighted towards NV. If there was play in both states, we tried to determine your “primary” state and allow you to keep username in that state.<\/p>\n

New loyalty program<\/span><\/h2>\n

In conjunction with the liquidity sharing agreement, WSOP.com is also overhauling its online rewards, and increasing the maximum rakeback players can earn.<\/p>\n

“The new and enhanced loyalty club will be called “Poker Rewards” and will allow players to achieve an industry best — up to a 32% rake back based on their participation,” the press release states.  “As a result of these changes, Total Rewards levels will be removed from Poker Rewards as to not confuse with offline Diamond and above levels.”<\/p>\n

The new rewards tiers WOP.com will put in place are:<\/p>\n
