With the UIGEA still in effect, there is no real money. It's all play money, but signing up and showing support can't hurt. They are running tournaments that do play out cash money, though. I doubt you will be able to withdraw it until new legislation gets passed.

I've been playing on it for a few days now... the game is beyond soft.

software isn't to good, and the options need fixing. but at least it's up and running.

be prepared for massive advertisements. this is where the income is flowing in from.

as it stands... since I live about 5 minutes from the southpoint, I am not sure which is worse... live soutpoint poker or the new software. I think live is worse

The players are super soft, the software is buggy, slow, and feature-less, but it's version 1.0. It's a step in the right direction, and hopefully they will get the bugs worked out by the time we're playing for $$$ again.

Online poker will return someday, and when it does, it will be glorious. The fish will be jumping out of the water into your boat.

Are these casino bases online rooms like Club WPT and PurePlay and what not? You pay a monthly fee, compete for small cash prizes, etc?

Loooks awesome and it seems free, 100K a month in prizes and 10K WSOP seat every week. I wonder how they are paying for it.

Looks like they're getting prepared for poker legalization to me. Yay

WSOP.com recently launched a play money platform as well and made a speech about it being time for ip legalization during a bracelet ceremony in July. Their play money software is base out of Gilbraltar and is also buggy.
