Currently, the mystery remains unsolved as to whether ‘ePasseporte’ or not to withdraw the ball game for US customers.
Rumors are rife and the versions tend to diverge from one site to another, on the one hand, some are starting to announce to their customers that they must now count without the E-wallet in question and fall back on the other providers available and the other as on sites of certain notoriety such as FullTilt Poker or Pokerstars we speak quite simply of a ‘temporary interruption of services’ due to a technical problem.
ePassporte when they have not yet made an official statement on this subject.
While the question on the lifting of the ban on online gambling in the USA is once again topical, it is quite possible that the latter is awaiting an answer on this subject before making a formal decision.
13.04 Controversy on the women’s side
At the moment a controversy is in full swing regarding the next women’s ‘World Poker Tour’ championship …. and some players are starting to announce that they will not participate …
Steve Lipscomb at the head of the WPT recently announced that this year’s link alternatif SBOBET the ‘World Poker Tour’ will continue to support the cause Susan G. Komen for the Cure (better known by the initials SGK) an association fighting against breast cancer.
While all players agree with supporting this particular cause, they do not agree with how the amount in question is to be obtained.
A $1500 championship will take place to conclude the WPT Ladies Tour and 15% of the prize pool must be allocated to the cause in question which has started to rock a good number because they do not understand why this amount should be cut from the prize pool instead of being deducted from the buy-in for example.
Players like Susie Isaacs have already made it known that under such conditions they simply would not participate and that the tournament should be classified as a charity tournament and not a WPT championship, they feel like in doing this Lipscomb and the WPT take advantage of the media coverage of the event by emphasizing that their goal is only to ‘promote women’s poker’ and ‘support a good cause’ to actually capitalize on the inexperience women in the field of poker championships.
It is true that it is rather inconceivable to imagine seeing such a thing in a classic WPT championship …

04/11 Harrah s changes her name
There is a very good chance that soon we will no longer refer to Harrah’s as such but as ‘Caesars Entertainment Corporation’.
The Harrah’s group which was created more than 70 years ago by Bill Harrah and owns many of the largest casinos on the planet including the famous Rio where the planetary event ‘Worlds Series Of Poker’ takes place every year.
Known under the diminutive WSOP, Harvey’s, Caesars, Le Paris, or even the well-known Harrah’s himself has indeed just obtained the agreement of his headquarters to change his name and therefore if he obtains the required authorizations in this genre of procedure it could very soon be called the ‘Caesars Entertainment Corporation’.
According to the group, this change could bring them an additional opening both in the field of gaming (from a business point of view during its expansion in other jurisdictions for example) in which it is a specialist but also in its secondary activities.
04.10 Bracelets
Distribution in large size A massive distribution of titanium and diamond bracelets designed by Tiffany & Co is scheduled for April 21 at the “O” theater of Bellagio during the ‘Ceremony of Champions’ organized within the framework of World Poker Tower.

The founder of the WPT Steve Lipscomb thus wants just as the World Series Of Poker already does to continue the work set up about thirty years ago by Benny Binion.
A private cocktail will take place with the players and VIP guests from 8.30 pm and the delivery will take place around 10 pm, the evening will have Vince Van Patten and Mike Sexton as masters of ceremonies, at least that is necessary to welcome the gratin of the gratin!

There Vicente Perez from Georgia and aged 57 then commits the irreparable; he plants the ‘victim’ whose identity to date has not been revealed and the latter will be declared dead from his injuries shortly after 16.00.
It is unfortunate that a game of poker whose primary goal is above all to entertain can be directly or indirectly linked to this kind of news item.
