Is WSOP down for anyone else? When I tried to go on, the client updated and now I just get "Unable to connect. Please try again or contact member support."

Just tried from Bergen county - seems ok

3. Claim the “bs f******* site” is rigged

4. If anyone replies, challenge them to a heads up match for at least 10x the stakes you’re currently playing for, with no intention of following through.

I never saw this in the original legislation, but it must be the law because I keep seeing it over and over again.

Good to know there are so many law abiding citizens out there.........

I reset my TCP/IP and rebooted and it works fine now. Either it was down for a very short time and this is a coincidence, or the problem was on my end.

Given that there appears to be a bunch of people on, I'm going with option #2.

I think people will lose their poker stack on the casino side, reducing the poker pool.. unfair (but convenient!)

This goes both ways fwiw. Someone can run up a big casino stack and take it to poker.

I'll bet more money is lost from poker -> casino then money won from casino -> poker.

I think all the chat tilting is a sign of how good the games are. The people who spout off in chat are the people we want in the games.

Does anyone know if the hotels have worked it out so you can play on property yet? I'll be at Ballys for a couple days this week randomly.

Why do people use the phrase "on property"? Is dropping out "the" in the middle supposed to indicate some kind of insider status? I never really understood this.

You can play from the rooms in Revel and Borgata. I've done it.

It's been two months since i started playing online, splitting my time between borgata and wsop. after this weekend's $250k free roll, i will be withdrawing all funds from wsop. i've tried to give them the benefit of the doubt, but the technical problems with geolocation have not improved. i will often have both sites running, and i'll only get booted off wsop. my laptop will show fifteen wifi signals, with several of them being full strength.

to make matters worse, they don't even wait until the hand is completed before removing me from my game, which has caused me to lose money several times. perhaps if their customer support had been more helpful, i would continue playing there, but they've been terrible.
