Connective Games: 15 years at the cutting edge of online poker
Award-winning platform and technology provider has spent a decade and a half developing best in class products for its operator partners
Connective Games, the award winning platform behind some of the world’s most popular online poker brands, is celebrating its 15th birthday this month
Connective Games has spent the past decade and a half revolutionising the online poker market, constantly developing its award-winning platform so that its operator partners can offer the best possible experience to players, fully localised for the markets they target.
This has seen the company launch many an industry first, including the option to multi-table on mobile, mobile portrait mode with one-thumb play and most recently Poker Tournament Live Stream that allows operators to broadcast live poker matches to payers.
Based out of offices in Malta and Tomsk, Russia, the Connective Games team is dedicated to, and passionate about, developing features and tools that take the player experience to the next level, and this can be seen in the calibre of online poker brands the company powers.
This includes PokerMatch, Pokerdom, Spartan Poker, Blitz Poker and many more. In fact, combined, Connective Games powered sites make for the 4th largest liquidity pool in the world ahead of tier one brands such as GG Poker, PokerStars and IDN.
It is perhaps no surprise that Connective Games has taken home several prestigious industry awards over the years and was most recently crowned Poker Software Supplier of the Year at the EGR B2B Awards and named Mobile Product of the Year at International Gaming Awards. The company has also been shortlisted at this year’s Global Gaming Awards.
Serge Mukhanov, CEO of Connective Games, said: “I am honoured to be leading this company as it celebrates its 15 birthday and for it to have been at the cutting edge of online poker technology for such a long period of time now.
“Over the past 15 years, the Connective Games team has worked passionately and tirelessly to ensure our platform, product and service offering is the best in the business and you only have to look at the calibre of brands we partner to see that is very much the case.
“While we will take a day or two off to celebrate, rest assured we will continue to innovate and drive progress in the online poker space now and for the next 15 years.”

Caesars Entertainment Expands WSOP Online Poker Platform to Pennsylvania

Caesars Entertainment announced an expansion of the WSOP Online poker platform, now pooling liquidity in Pennsylvania with its three existing jurisdictions: Nevada, New Jersey, and Michigan. The move positions Caesars as the first online poker operator to share liquidity across four U.S. jurisdictions, establishing WSOP Online as the only platform in the US where players from all four states can compete in the same player pool. The inclusion of Pennsylvania follows Michigan’s integration with Nevada and New Jersey on WSOP Online in May 2024, marking another significant milestone in the development of WSOP Online as the premier online poker site.
In addition to the announcement of shared liquidity across another jurisdiction, Caesars unveiled the 2025 WSOP Online Bracelet schedule. The schedule will once again feature 30 bracelet events coinciding with the 56th annual World Series of Poker, which will be held for the fourth consecutive year at Caesars Rewards destinations Paris Las Vegas and Horseshoe Las Vegas on the Las Vegas Strip.
“The addition of the Pennsylvania player pool to WSOP Online comes at the perfect time, and we’re ready to give avid poker players in The Keystone State the opportunity to raise the stakes on their poker play. This expansion enhances the experience for players by building even greater prize pools that are up for grabs all summer long as a part of our jam-packed WSOP Online schedule. We’re ready to see who earns our largest online prize pools ever once the first hands are dealt this summer,” said Danielle Barille, Vice President of Online Poker at Caesars Entertainment.
The first Online Bracelet event kicks off on May 31 with a total of 10 live final tables, and the final event begins on July 15. In 2025, WSOP Online will introduce an Online Bracelet Leaderboard, offering over $30,000 in prizes for the first time. Participants in the Online Gold Bracelet events will accumulate leaderboard points, with the highest scorer being honored as the 2025 WSOP Online Bracelet Player of the Year.
Every Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday of the series will feature an official gold bracelet up for grabs, from the $333 Triple Treys No Limit Hold’em event on June 8 to the $5,300 WSOP Online High Roller Championship on July 9. Last year, over $30 Million in prize money was awarded from Online Bracelet events in June and July. This year, the schedule is highlighted by six Mystery Bounty tournaments with $5.5 Million in guarantees.
In addition, exclusive satellites to qualify for land-based tournaments will be offered on WSOP Online, with entry fees as low as $1. These satellites will be daily single-table satellites and massive promotions, such as the guaranteed 25-seat Main Event mega-satellites on June 29 and July 1 where 25 $10,000 Main Event Seats are guaranteed for every event. Ten Online Bracelet events will also begin online, playing under a hybrid format, with their final tables contested live in Las Vegas at the WSOP. WSOP satellites outside the US are currently underway and held exclusively at GGPoker.
Players are permitted to play on WSOP Online while simultaneously participating in live WSOP events at the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas which will run from May 27 to July 16, with poker’s undisputed world championship, also known as the “Main Event,” beginning on July 2.
