Thanks.
Yeah, it's totally confusing. The thing with the WSOP is that it geo-targets and serves you up a different website depending on your location. It doesn't redirect you at all, so there's no indication that what you see isn't what someone else would see.
- If you are in Nevada, you are prompted to play on a real money online poker room licensed in Nevada, an independent poker room that shares liquidity with delaware casinos.
- If you are in New Jersey, you are prompted to play on a real money online poker room licensed in New Jersey, sharing liquidity with 888 NJ
- If you are in the UK, you are prompted to play on a real money online poker room licensed in the UKGC, a skin on 888's global online poker network.
- If you are in Spain, France and Italy, you are redirected to 888's licensed site.
- If you're anywhere else,
like i think your friend is seeing, you get a US website talking mostly about the live series and Caesars casinos, and there's a link to
https://playwsop.com, a free-play online poker room like Zynga: Chips have no monetary value (you can't cashout), but there's in-app purchases for new free-chips.
