888poker and WSOP.com to Team Up in New Jersey
Posted by: Jo Martin - Wed, 2015-01-14 03:27
The dust following New Jersey’s legalization of online poker quickly settled and the reality of the situation sank in with the various operators who had been quick to secure a foothold in this cranny of the US market yet again. They found themselves in a situation which had them making a sizeable investment to gain access to extremely limited player liquidity. Since the initial euphoria, Ultimate Poker has already thrown in the towel, and the other operators aren’t doing particularly well either. Steps obviously had to be taken to improve the situation somewhat, and what 888poker and WSOP.com came up with in this respect was to share their player liquidity. WSOP.com and 888poker are the leading
online poker operators in New Jersey and the liquidity-sharing they’ve apparently agreed upon is a “limited” one. What this new setup means for players is that there will obviously be more players available for cash games, while the tournament guarantees will go up as well.

What exactly does “limited” liquidity sharing mean though? The player-pool will only be shared at the micro- and low stakes cash games, and only in select tournaments. Both operations will retain their own VIP schemes, towards which players will only earn points if they play at the given site. The move is said to be an experimental one for the time being: the limited liquidity sharing will allow both operators to effectively monitor the impact of the new setup, and to determine the right mix of ingredients for it.
According to WSOP.com’s Bill Rini, customers will not notice anything in regards to how the games function, only the bigger prize-pools and the livelier cash game action.
