If these and similar questions have been on your mind lately, keep on reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What\u2019s Up With Two\nWorld Series of Poker?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve been keeping up with last year\u2019s\nWSOP, you probably know there were actually two Series running concurrently.\nThis is somewhat confusing on its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason for this is quite simple. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the name suggests, this is a global poker\nevent, which means it strives to cater to players from all over the world. In\nthe live setting, that&#8217;s easy enough: almost anyone can come to Las Vegas and\nplay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Online, however, it\u2019s a bit more complicated\n(as bizarre as that may sound).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the United States, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/poker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">online poker<\/a> is still not regulated on a federal level, which means that players from different states can\u2019t even play against each other, let alone against the players not in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, to cater to the US player base, there was\nthe US leg of the World Series taking place on WSOP.com. This one was open only\nto US residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting towards the end of the US bit was the\nglobal leg of the WSOP, taking place on GGPoker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These tournaments were open to the\nrest-of-the-world players, so the series managed to maintain its global\ncharacter, albeit with some necessary adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/wsop-2020.jpeg\" alt=\"WSOP 2020 prize money\" class=\"wp-image-27639\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/wsop-2020.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/wsop-2020-148x99.jpeg 148w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/wsop-2020-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/wsop-2020-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/wsop-2020-1100x733.jpeg 1100w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/wsop-2020-480x320.jpeg 480w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/wsop-2020-875x583.jpeg 875w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption><em>Image: Melissa Haereiti via Twitter\/WSOP<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who Can Play In The American\nWSOP?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s first cover the US leg of the online\nWorld Series of Poker as it\u2019s the trickier one, at least from a legal\nperspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you might be aware, online poker was pretty\nmuch made illegal in the United States following the events of Black Friday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although some rooms continued to cater to\nAmerican players, all major operators either left of their own volition or were\nforced to leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, until 2013, US players really had no legal\nor safe options for their online poker exploits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was in 2013 that the first regulated sites\nstarted to appear, but these were only regulated on a state level. Nevada and\nDelaware were the first two states to have legal online poker, followed by New\nJersey shortly after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, because there wasn\u2019t (and still isn\u2019t)\nregulation on a federal level, players were only allowed to play while\nphysically present in the state. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first three states entered a multi-state\nagreement allowing them to combine player pools, but this is where it all\nstopped as the Department of Justice (DOJ) insisted that the Wire Act applies\nto poker as well, which means that no interstate play can be allowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>So, how does this reflect on those wanting to\nplay in the American leg of the World Series of Poker?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, first of all, you have to be a US citizen\nwith a Social Security Number and a registered address in the States. Regulated\nUS sites don\u2019t allow any foreigners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is that you don&#8217;t have to\nactually be a resident of a state that offers regulated poker, as all US\ncitizens are free to register across all licensed rooms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, you do have to be within the borders\nof the regulating states while actually playing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, this sounds unnecessarily complicated, but\nthat\u2019s just the current legal situation, and you\u2019ll have to deal with it if you\nwant to have your shot at those shiny bracelets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The US leg of the World Series takes place on\nWSOP.com. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The site caters to players from Nevada and New\nJersey, and, as mentioned, these two states do have an interstate compact in\nplace, which allows them to combine player pools in tournaments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, provided you&#8217;re a US citizen living in a\nstate other than these two, you&#8217;ll still have to travel to either Nevada or New\nJersey and stay there for as long as you want to play. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll have no problems opening an account,\ndepositing money, and playing on WSOP.com regardless of what your home state\nis, but you can only play in real money tournaments while physically present\nwithin Nevada or New Jersey borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is There a Way Around These Rules?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you play live poker tournaments, traveling\nis just a part of the deal. But having to travel hundreds of miles to sit in\nyour room and play on your phone or laptop seems like overkill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, you&#8217;re probably wondering if there is some\nworkaround that would allow you to play from your home state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The short and simple answer that you probably\ndon\u2019t want to hear is \u2013 no, there isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WSOP.com, and all regulated US sites for that\nmatter, use advanced geolocation technologies to make sure players are\nphysically located within the state the room is licensed in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is virtually impossible to get around these\nsystems, and things like VPNs won&#8217;t help you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, even if you were somehow able to do it,\nyou can rest assured that all your winnings would be confiscated if you&#8217;re\ndiscovered as this isn&#8217;t just against the room&#8217;s terms of service but also\npotentially illegal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you score big money in a WSOP event, you\ncan be certain there will be checks to make sure everything is in perfect\norder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, to sum it up, if you want to play in the US\nleg of the World Series of Poker online, you&#8217;ll need to be an American citizen\nwith an address anywhere in the USA. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll also have to be physically present in\neither Nevada or New Jersey for the entire duration of any events you intend to\nplay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1371\" height=\"775\" src=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/WSOP-circuit-online-series.jpg\" alt=\"WSOP ring\" class=\"wp-image-27711\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/WSOP-circuit-online-series.jpg 1371w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/WSOP-circuit-online-series-148x84.jpg 148w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/WSOP-circuit-online-series-1024x579.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/WSOP-circuit-online-series-768x434.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/WSOP-circuit-online-series-1100x622.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/WSOP-circuit-online-series-480x271.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1371px) 100vw, 1371px\" \/><figcaption><em>Image: WSOP<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Playing In The Global\nLeg Of The WSOP Online<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The global section of the World Series of Poker\ntook place on GGPoker in 2020, and this partnership will probably continue in\nthe future as results were better than expected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if this isn&#8217;t the case and a different\ninternationally licensed operator steps in, not much should change in terms of\nlegality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike US rooms that are licensed by individual\nstates, international rooms don\u2019t care about your citizenship. Their primary\nconcern is that you have a residency in an area where they offer their\nservices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, to play the international leg of the WSOP\nonline, you&#8217;ll just need a registered address in one of the countries that\nGGPoker accepts, and, of course, you&#8217;ll have to play from that location. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As long as you do this and can prove your\nphysical address, there should be no problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But don\u2019t get your hopes up just yet, because\nthe situation with online poker has changed quite a bit over the years, and\nmany operators, GGPoker included, have left certain smaller markets because\nthey are looking to establish a foothold in major regulated markets in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>So, if WSOP continues to take place on GGPoker,\nyou won\u2019t be able to play from places like Poland, Czech Republic, Netherlands,\nBulgaria, Greece, Belgium, Romania, Georgia, and Switzerland \u2013 to just name a\nfew.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find the full list of eligible\ncountries on the GGPoker site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, the room doesn\u2019t care for your\ncitizenship, just your residency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you live in one of the countries that can\u2019t\nplay on the site but can get an address in a different country you can play\nfrom, you\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, make sure you get everything sorted\nout ahead of time and let the room know about your new address. Once they\nconfirm the change and update your address, you will be in the clear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be ready to send some documents to prove your\nnew location, since it will surely be required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you live in a country where GGPoker operates,\nyou have nothing to worry about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All you need to do is log in to your account,\ndeposit some funds, and register for the events that you want to play in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s no different than registering for any\ndaily tournament, but if you happen to win, you\u2019ll get a brand new, shiny WSOP\nbracelet to go with your significantly boosted bankroll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"619\" height=\"264\" src=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/wsop-2021.jpg\" alt=\"WSOP 2021 banner\" class=\"wp-image-27714\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/wsop-2021.jpg 619w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/wsop-2021-148x63.jpg 148w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/wsop-2021-480x205.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 619px) 100vw, 619px\" \/><figcaption><em>Image: WSOP<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can Americans Play In\nThe Global Online WSOP?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ve already established that\nrest-of-the-world players can&#8217;t play on the US sites, but does it work the\nother way around?
