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.

Caesars Entertainment and AGS Expand Partnership to Bring Fan-Favorite Slot Titles Online for the First Time
Caesars Entertainment Inc. announced an expansion to its partnership with AGS making Caesars’ online casino platforms the exclusive first online home for the immensely popular Triple Coin Treasures family of slot titles. This expansion includes a series of classic and new slot title launches across North America on Caesars Palace Online Casino, Caesars Sportsbook & Casino, and Horseshoe Online Casino.
The first exclusive launch will introduce Shamrock Fortunes to Caesars’ online casino players, bringing this beloved title that has long been enjoyed at Caesars Rewards destinations in North America online for the first time. Additional launches later in 2025 will include another beloved Triple Coin Treasures classic, a unique Caesars-branded version of a title, along with never-before-played titles from AGS that will debut simultaneously at Caesars destinations and on Caesars’ marquee online casino platforms.
“We appreciate AGS’ confidence in our ability to transition their popular slot titles from casino floors to online platforms. This expanded partnership, featuring beloved in-person casino slots, custom-branded titles, and new, never-before-played games, underscores our commitment to providing an ever-evolving online casino experience. We’re proud to not only introduce new titles to our players but also to bring the classic titles they have enjoyed at our destinations directly to their mobile devices,” said Ricardo Cornejo Rivas, Vice President of Online Gaming at Caesars Digital.
This marks the second collaboration between Caesars and AGS on exclusive game launches for Caesars players, both in its brick-and-mortar casinos and online casino platforms. The first collaboration in 2024 featured the simultaneous launch of the popular title Rakin’ Bacon Odyssey in New Jersey on Caesars Palace Online Casino and at Caesars Atlantic City, Tropicana Atlantic City, and Harrah’s Atlantic City.
“Our expanded partnership with Caesars is a major milestone in AGS’ interactive growth strategy. Bringing our proven titles, like Shamrock Fortunes, online for the first time allows us to reach players in a whole new way while honoring the retail roots of these games. We’re especially excited to co-develop a Caesars-branded version of one of our classic games and to continue building momentum with new launches that blend innovation, familiarity, and fun,” said Zoe Ebling, Vice President of Interactive at AGS.
Caesars and AGS will celebrate the rollout of these exclusive new games with special marketing promotions linked to each title and omnichannel events for Caesars Rewards VIPs at select Caesars Rewards destinations. Once live, each game will be available on Caesars’ premier online casino platforms including Caesars Palace Online Casino, Horseshoe Online Casino, and Caesars Sportsbook & Casino.
Caesars’ online casino platforms are accessible on iOS, Android, and desktop for players aged 21 and older in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ontario, and West Virginia. These platforms deliver an elevated online casino experience, featuring exclusive Caesars-branded games, high limit slots, private live dealer tables, linked progressive jackpots, various poker and roulette variations, and much more.
Online casino play, sports wagering, and in-person casino play at Caesars Rewards destinations seamlessly integrate with Caesars Rewards, the company’s industry-leading customer loyalty program. Players in the US earn Caesars Rewards Credits through both online and in-person casino activities, redeemable for unforgettable experiences at over 50 world-class Caesars destinations across North America.
