WSOP.com: Detailed Review

WSOP.com is the largest legal American poker room since Black Friday which has combined pools of players from New Jersey, Nevada and Delaware.

The main feature of WSOP.com is the fact that online events of WSOP take place exactly in this poker room, and only here a player is able to win a WSOP bracelet without living home (however, you will need to go to Vegas to take it).

According to the rules of the USA, a user can play in the poker room only if he/she is 21 years old and solely from the territory of the states mentioned above.

WSOP.com: Software Review

Dark tones prevail in the interface of the poker room. The lobby is designed in black and burgundy colors with elements of yellow. A player is able to choose the felt color of the game table according to his/her liking. The most popular colors among users are dark red and green, but you can also select purple or black felt. You are able to choose yourself both back of the cards with WSOP logo and appearance of the cards – two-color deck or one of four colored decks. Other individual settings of the room are also available.

A player can use both mouse and keyboard to make a bet:

• Fold – F5
• Call/Check – F6
• Bet/Raise – F7

While playing the tournaments, you can check the current situation (number of players left, your position in the game, etc) at "Info" tab (in the block with chat).

To view hand history, you need to select "My Profile" – "Game History" in the lobby menu.

In general, the software is pretty convenient and intuitively clear.

You can download WSOP.com to your computer, laptop (Windows, Mac) or to a mobile device (IOS and Android).

WSOP.com Mobile Version

WSOP.com mobile version is available for Android and IOS devices (Android 2.3, iOS 6.1 and newer). It is possible to install the application on a smartphone, tablet or another mobile device (speaking about Apple products, you can use iPod touch 4, iPad 2, iPad mini, iPhone 4 and higher).

The mobile version is significantly poor than the desktop one, but it contains all the important features of the room and necessary games. Therefore, players are able to play at WSOP.com via mobile phone or tablet if there is no access to a computer, but you want to play on a smartphone.

The Games and the Traffic

Only Americans from New Jersey, Nevada and Delaware are able to play in the poker room. That’s why the traffic of the room is not that high as in the world brands, but it is the maximal traffic for American players who are in the reservation and can’t play poker online with the whole world and in some states even with each other.

According to PokerScout data, around 200 players (on average) gather at the cash tables of WSOP.com, and during the peak hours, their number exceeds 300-400 people.

Games

WSOP.com offers a big diversity of cash games and tournaments. Here you can play no-limit Hold’em, Omaha and 7-Card Stud.

The cash game is conducted from a few cents up to high limits with $25/$50, $30/$60 bets.

For spin lovers, in the poker room, there is PokerStars’ Spin&Go equivalent that is called Blast Poker – Sit&Go with random prize pool up to x10 000 of the buy-in size.

Tournaments

Freerolls and satellites to the WSOP live events daily take place in the poker room. Everyday guarantees of the WSOP.com tournaments are not less than $10 000, and on Sundays, the guarantees are $250 000.

The rake scheme

WSOP.com rake depends on the number of players sitting at the table, selected discipline and game limits. It ranges from $0,01 up to $3 (maximum from one pot).

The players can also get up to 32% rakeback.

• VISA MasterCard (credit or debit); limit for one deposit is $10-$600, but not more than $5 000 per day;
