Expect other new exciting features, bigger promotions and weekly tournaments with more players than ever before.
Danielle Barille, Vice President of Online Poker at Caesars Digital said:
"This platform upgrade is long overdue and is a big win for our players. The best is yet to come for WSOP Online tournaments, and we're thrilled to bring Michigan players into the fold with Nevada and New Jersey, resulting in a better experience, more value, and the biggest prize pools of the year."
Effective immediately, all existing players in Nevada and New Jersey must complete the pre-registration process online to create an account on the new platform. After creating a new username, any existing balances, reward points and tournament tickets will be transferred into the player account within 72 hours of the launch of the new platform. After that, players will be prompted to re-install the WSOP Online app.
