888 Holdings has become the main leading online gambling operator in the world. The different online offers from 888, such as casino, poker and sports betting, are becoming the most visited gaming sites in the world. 888 is also one of the main software platforms provider in the gaming industry; one of its best jobs ever has been Caesars Interactive Entertainment, Inc. (CIE) sites. Now that the world knows who is in charge, the World Series of Poker has decided to be the first one to get 888 for the both events, the 2015 US WSOP Las Vegas, and the 2015 WSOP Europe. 888 Poker will be the one to host WSOP’s official qualifiers series, as part of the new sponsorship agreement as well as content pact. 888 Poker will be also the only one authorized site allowed to register players online directly into all of WSOP events. 888poker is now offering special packages for the WSOP like Double Up, a $14,000 worth package that includes, admission to both 2015 WSOP Online Bracelet Event #64 and the WSOP Main Event #68.

Itai Pazner, Senior Vice President & Head of B2C at 888 Holdings, commented: “As a true partner with the WSOP on the B2B side where we power their real-money gaming in the United States, this was a logical next step for us to carry the power of the WSOP to our players across all other major markets we serve. This broad package gives 888poker players a great opportunity to win their way to WSOP events on our online poker site, plus gives us terrific content and assets to market our brand”. WSOP Executive Director, Ty Stewart, said: “888Poker has been a great partner to CIE for many years now. But 2015 is the year they will go All-In against the WSOP. We're proud of the comprehensive offering 888poker will have for any player outside the USA who dreams to play in our flagship events. We see 888poker's expanded sponsorship as an important step to qualify players affordably and bring additional prize money to the tournaments”.
