Veikkaajat continues to grow in the Finnish market, and punters cant get enough of it. The independent gambling affiliate network is rapidly becoming one of the most sought in the world. With Veikkaajat, more punters can make better decisions and avoid scam sites that may infiltrate the Finnish gambling market. While the business is self-funded, it may gain from casino referrals made through the site. Read on if you wonder why Finns are excited about the growth of this site.

Veikkaajat Helps Players Find the Best Online Casinos

Unlike many other sites that monitor casino bonuses and online casinos, Veikkaajat does not just list every casino available on the market. It makes every effort to learn from customer experiences, test online casinos before recommending them, and check their safety and functionality in various ways.

As we all know, certain online casinos are superior to others, with numerous casinos outperforming their rivals by a long shot. While trying to stay in the competition by providing players incentives is never a bad idea, some new online gambling sites may offer advantages that people no longer need or demand. Thats where Veikkaajat comes into play. It compiles alternative lists to allow players to make interesting choices based on their unique preferences.

How does Veikkaajat decide which casinos to visit?

As mentioned before, Veikkaajats expert team finds the casinos they want to include on the lists by checking them according to certain criteria. If an online casino passes the minimum requirements on this criteria, the team adds it to the list and assigns it a rating so that the players can compare it to the other ones included in the list.

The team takes into account several elements such as the game library, game providers, payment methods, security and most importantly the bonuses. These bonuses usually include welcome bonuses, cashbacks, reloads and free spins. On top of that, the experts on Veikkaajat check whether the bonuses offered on the listed casinos are legitimate and fair and test transaction times to ensure theyre hassle-free.

Additionally, Veikkaajat verifies and confirms the security of all casinos before recommending them on its comprehensive lists. Most casinos get their licenses from Malta or Curaao. Both of these countries implement appropriate regulatory oversight for licensees. And Veikkaajat makes sure that the casinos have obtained valid licenses from these countries. Also, Veikkaajat avoids including casinos with licenses from dubious authorities while compiling these lists.

Lastly, Veikkaajat maintains a close eye on developments in the gaming industry and the views and opinions of others in the industry and engages with casino employees regularly to assure trustworthiness.All these measures help Veikkaajat to compile some of the best casino lists throughout the market.

Washington regulators approved the states sports betting licensing rules Wednesday, clearing one more major hurdle for legal wagering to begin this fall.

The Washington State Gambling Commission approved sports wagering rules unanimously at its meeting Wednesday, codifying key regulatory measures for the states sportsbooks. Wednesdays vote advances protocols that will allow state gaming tribes and their affiliate sportsbook operators to work toward licensure, with the first coming as early as September.

Gov. Jay Inslee and 15 Native American tribes reached agreements earlier this year that will permit retail betting at tribal casino sportsbooks and mobile betting within the physical gaming facilities themselves. With state regulations passed, Washington sportsbooks are now awaiting sign-off from the federal Department of the Interior, which by law must approve all tribal gaming compacts.

Federal and state law prohibits statewide mobile wagering, meaning Washington bettors must travel to a tribal gaming facility to place a bet.

The 15 tribes operate more than 20 casinos statewide. It remains to be seen which casinos will feature sportsbooks, but bettors in the Seattle metro area should have multiple options.

Potential sportsbook locations include:

Some of the states 14 other sovereign gaming tribes are also reportedly negotiating new compacts. Washington card rooms are not able to accept sports bets.

The Interior Department has 45 days from official compact receipt to make a determination. Inslee formally signed the compacts earlier this month, so a ruling is expected in late August or early September.

If a final ruling comes by early September, its possible the first sportsbooks can take bets ahead of the Sept. 9 NFL season opener or the Sept. 12 Week 1 matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and the Indianapolis Colts.

Bettors will not be able to wager on in-state college programs such as the University of Washington or Washington State University. Olympic betting is permitted, but Washington sportsbooks will not open before the conclusion of this years games.

Washingtons compacts are part of a busy year for tribal sports betting deals. The Department of the Interior already approved multiple Arizona gaming compacts that permit sports betting and is expected to rule on similar measures for tribes in Florida, Connecticut and Wisconsin later this summer.

Washington Sports Betting Takes Another Key Launch Step - The Action Network

Jordan Gnat, CEO of Playmaker, at his home in Toronto on July 19, 2021.

Jessica Lee/The Globe and Mail

Jordan Gnat will freely admit his foreign-language skills arent his best calling card.

As my kids say, my Sesame Street Spanish isnt going to be very helpful, said Mr. Gnat, 49, in an interview. And how is his Portuguese? Obrigado, he responds with a self-effacing laugh. Thats about as good as I get.

Over the past few months, though, Mr. Gnat has planted a series of flags in the Latin American digital sports media space, bringing a growing collection of websites, social media accounts and other online properties under the purview of Playmaker Capital , the Toronto-based startup he joined as CEO last December.

Story continues below advertisement

Strictly speaking, as Mr. Gnat will tell you, Playmaker isnt a startup so much as a roll-up: It went public in early June on the TSX Venture Exchange through a reverse takeover of Apolo III Acquisition Corp., a capital pool company co-founded by Vincent Gasparro, who recently served as principal secretary to Toronto Mayor John Tory.

In April, Playmaker had already acquired Futbol Sites, a Miami-based operator of more than 10 soccer-focused websites, branded under the name BolaVIP, targeting fans in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Ecuador, Central America and the United States. Citing Comscore rankings, the company announced that BolaVIP Brazil was the highest-ranking sports website in that country in May, with more than 15.4 million unique visitors.

A couple of weeks after its TSX-V debut, Playmaker added Fanticos Por Futebol: Facebook and Instagram fan pages with a total of almost 4.5 million followers.

And last Tuesday, it made its first major English-language move, buying Yardbarker, a Silicon Valley-based site that aggregates thousands of pieces of sports and entertainment content for an estimated four million unique users per month, and publishes a morning newsletter sent to more than 350,000 subscribers. A news release announcing the transaction pegged the value of the deal at up to US$24-million.

If digital media strikes some investors as a gamble the number of properties seemingly infinite yet growing every day, the rates for display ads often correspondingly tiny they would be getting the right idea: Betting is a big part of Playmakers strategy.

Online sports betting, that is. Mr. Gnat believes the company is well positioned to take advantage of that industrys growth, which is expected to be explosive as governments across the Americas legalize and regulate it, by becoming an affiliate-marketing partner of sites trying to reel in new bettors.

Affiliate marketing is one of the Internets more lucrative practices certainly far more lucrative than display advertising. If a reader is on a music site or other kind of digital property (newsletter, social media account, etc.) and they click on a link to buy a concert ticket or artist merchandise, the site gets a share of that revenue.

Story continues below advertisement

I want to be in the fan monetization business, Mr. Gnat said. Playmaker is really a business that is being set up to live at the intersection of sports, gambling, media and technology. And were rolling up digital sports media assets, finding assets that we can put together, that we can leverage synergies between them, to be able to build an ecosystem of highly engaged and loyal sports fans that we can deliver to sports betting companies, teams, leagues and Fortune 500 advertisers.

The regulated sports betting market on this side of the Atlantic is in the top of the second inning, said Mr. Gnat. The appetite for growth is humongous. So the need to continue to feed the beast [with new bettors] is going to be there for quite a while.

Affiliate marketing for online sportsbooks is big business. The Bettor Collective, which Mr. Gnat cited as an aspiration for Playmaker, is a global affiliate giant worth more than US$11-billion. But he and others insist there is room for more players.

I think that, tactically, Jordan understands where the competition currently exists, currently focuses and currently dominates, and he understands where theres opportunity, said Nic Sulsky, a daily fantasy sports veteran who was recently named chief commercial officer for the Canadian division of the online sportsbook Pointsbet. So, I think that the Latin American focus, and the Spanish-language focus, provides a really great launching-off point to build into the U.S. and Canada.

So far, investors have been underwhelmed: Playmaker shares were off about 30 per cent at the end of the week from their debut price of 53 cents a share.

Mr. Gnat says he is on the prowl for properties from the top of Canada to the bottom of Argentina, the same territory he trod in his last job, as the group senior vice-president for The Stars Group. Beginning in July, 2018, he headed up corporate and business development for the Americas with that Toronto-based online gaming company probably best known as the operator of PokerStars.

Story continues below advertisement

He has spent more than 15 years in the gaming industry, including stints as president and CEO of the bingo hall operator Boardwalk Gaming; more than seven years with Scientific Games, which provides casinos with products such as slot machines and gambling terminals; and CEO of Casino and Gaming Television (a.k.a. CGTV), which was owned in part by his father-in-law, Larry Tanenbaum, the chairman and part-owner of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment.

Another notable scion in Playmakers executive ranks: Its chief operating officer is Jake Cassaday, the 33-year-old son of John Cassaday, who formerly served as president and CEO of Corus Entertainment and, before that, of CTV Television Network Ltd.

Playmaker also has a well-connected group of backers and board members. It was created under the auspices of Relay Ventures, the Toronto-based venture capital firm whose co-founder and managing partner, John Albright, took a seat on the Playmaker board. Mr. Albright is also on the board of theScore, the Toronto-based digital sports media company that launched a sports betting operation in the U.S. in 2019 and is currently waiting to do the same, now that single-event sports betting has been legalized in Canada, in whichever provinces create a regulatory regime for the activity.

The Playmaker board is chaired by Maryann Turcke, the former Bell Media president, who most recently spent two and a half years as chief operating officer of the National Football League. I think theres value in aggregating eyeballs, Ms. Turcke said in an interview. Its also just bringing eyeballs together and then serving those eyeballs up to adjacent spaces, whether its gaming or sports betting. We arent a betting company, but lots of betting companies are going to want our eyeballs, because its people that are hip deep in sport, they are superfans, and those are the kind of people that you can migrate into gaming and betting, and those spaces.

Ive known Jordan for years, through my time at Bell Media, and then when I was at the league and he was at Stars, our paths sort of just kept crossing, she added. When Mr. Gnat asked her to join the board, I thought, Jordans the real deal, hes an authentic leader. John [Albright] is the real deal. Sure, lets give this a go.

And so, as Mr. Gnat seeks out more deals, he insists the language barriers arent as significant as one might think: You work with local firms you can trust, and you get a good translator. You become adept at reading body language.

Story continues below advertisement

And theres one other key he says he learned from a mentor, who taught him how to manage in international settings. You need to bother, he said. You need to bother to understand the basics: How do you say hello? What are the proper colloquials? Do you shake someones hand, do you not shake someones hand? In some cultures, do you bow, do you not bow? Those are things that are really important. Because the audience on the other side is watching, to see if you have bothered.

Toronto's Playmaker Capital bets it can win big by driving sports fans to gambling websites - The Globe and Mail

CoronavirusA healthcare worker holds a vial of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.

By Lauren Booker, The Boston Globe

A Las Vegas father went to the emergency room with what he thought was just a sunburn. It turned out that he was positive for the coronavirus.

Michael Freedy, a 39-year-old casino worker, received the diagnosis after traveling to the beach in San Diego with his fiance and five children, aged 17 months, 6, 7, 10, and 17 years old, according to the Las Vegas Fox 5 affiliate. The illness progressed swiftly after he tried to recover at home and he was later hospitalized with pneumonia in both lungs.

Early Tuesday morning, I would say around 3, 4 oclock in the morning, he wakes me up panicking, Jessica DuPreez told the television station. Hes like, I cant breathe. I know something is wrong.

Freedy, who was unvaccinated, went on to be admitted to the intensive care unit and died on Thursday.

Crypto Millions Lotto is a global digital lottery platform where you can play lotteries using bitcoin. The company is fully operational in over 180 countries and is licensed by the Government of Curaao. Crypto Millions Lotto is the official online lottery partner of the Serie A club, Atalanta B.C. Its parent company, Wilmington Holdings Plc, also manages Lucky Gift Cards, another similar model to Crypto Millions Lotto.

The company chose bitcoin over other digital currencies, such as Ethereum, because of its ease of use and popularity, making it easier for virtually anybody in the world to play lotteries without worrying about huge gas fees. Plus, the platform aims to reduce the amount of taxes encountered in fiat-based online lotteries, whereby after winning draws, you may end up losing a lot to taxes.

In the US alone, billions of dollars worth of lotteries remain unclaimed every year due to reasons like the loss of lottery tickets and all that. With Crypto Millions Lotto, you can track and monitor your earnings using the platforms unique Check Results option and get paid the same day you win.

Crypto Millions Lotto boasts as the worlds most popular digital lottery site. However, this article will take a total breakdown into the features offered by the company, giving you room to decide if it is worth playing lotteries with your bitcoin on this site.

Crypto Millions Lotto offers large jackpots ranging from $10 million to over $200 million in cashouts. You sign up using your email and a password and fill in the necessary information about yourself. You must be 18 years and above to join. After signing up, you get to make a deposit, but instead of cash, you deposit bitcoin and enter draws or play available games.

You can see the cost of various entries in the Play Now section. Results are the same as the outcomes of the ones displayed on the dashboard as in Euromillions, LottoMax, 6aus49, UK National Lottery, and more. You can participate in instant wins, slots, and scratchcards, assuming you want to give it a try. Crypto Millions Lotto claims to insure all jackpots, and it pays out winnings the same day using bitcoin. Jackpots can take up to a month to payout with winners needing to provide ID and proof of residence.

You can also play games and casinos on Crypto Millions Lotto using microbitcoins. A microbitcoin (BTC) amounts to 0.000001 BTC. The platform also allows users to play some cool games using BTC. Some of its games are poker cards, such as Triple Edge Poker Cards, Black Jack, Caribbean Poker, Super Reno, etc. You may also explore its games such as Ali Baba, 777Heist, Bonnie & Clyde, and over 30 others.

But needless to say, Crypto Millions Lotto focuses more on digital lotteries than on games and casinos and has fewer game options compared to other competitors in the same industry.

Its almost customary to say that online lottery platforms always offer welcome bonuses to new members. Crypto Millions Lotto isnt left out on this one. When you sign up, the platform allows you to play 6 lotteries for free. Thats one free entry on each of its six international lotteries:

The cool stuff about this is that you dont have to make an initial deposit to access the free lottery slots.

Crypto Millions Lotto offers promotional programs and bonuses. Through its refer a friend and affiliate programs, you earn bitcoin when you promote the company. According to Crypto Millions Lotto, the affiliate program has a minimum withdrawal of 0.0003BTC, making it easier for affiliates to cash out without hassles. There is also no restriction on withdrawal periods for affiliate earnings.

For emphasis, you only earn bitcoin from the refer a friend or affiliate program when your friends or anyone joins the platform using your link (and not necessarily word of mouth). It doesnt stop at joining; the referee must make deposits and enter draws too.

Once you enroll in the affiliate program, you get to monitor your earnings on a real-time basis. As an affiliate, you earn up to 15% of top line sales gross revenue when your referee buys a ticket and 5% cashback of any jackpot your referee wins. Affiliates whose referees play Crypto Millions Lotto casino games can enjoy 25% 35% share of the monthly net revenue.

The affiliate program is very active, and you can join by completing a form. Once fully registered, the system assigns an affiliate account manager to you. You can proceed to promote the company using dedicated banners, on social media, through videos, and through your review websites or blogs.

To do that, toggle to My Account and get your unique referral link. You can track earnings and use them to play games and lotteries that are available on the platform.

As stated earlier, bitcoin is the only currency Crypto Millions Lotto allows. If youve got your money in any other currency (crypto or fiat), youd have to first convert it to bitcoin before you can use this platform.

The minimum deposit amount it allows is $12.50 worth of bitcoin. As of July 23rd, 1BTC is $32,216. That means $12.50 is equivalent to 0.000388BTC. If you input any amount of BTC less than the minimum amount, the system will return an error message. Due to the volatile nature of cryptocurrency generally, its advised you aim for a deposit amount that is above the $12.50 mark.

To deposit bitcoin to your account and enter draws or play games, you must have a digital wallet with a unique wallet address. After signing up and setting up your account, you can toggle to My Account and select Add Funds.

Crypto Millions Lotto gives each user a unique BTC address that you will have to copy to your bitcoin wallet to transfer the adequate funds into your Crypto Millions Lotto account. Click on Get Wallet Address to get your unique address. You can start entering different numbers of draws after you have funded your account.

The method applied to using bitcoin to play games on Crypto Millions Lotto is the same as that of a casino where you buy plastic chips with money or credit cards, and after winning games, you earn the same plastic chips which you can sell back to the cashier or keep for next time. Since Crypto Millions Lottery is entirely digital, you get to play directly using bitcoin as both your digital chip and money.

Although the minimum deposit is $12.50, you can play any game or lottery on the platform with as small as a microbitcoin (0.000001 BTC). Since there is no definite regulation for the amount to use for an entry, you can use as much bitcoin as possible and have as many entries as possible. Remember, the higher the value of the bitcoin you use for an entry, the more money you are likely to earn.

You get credited once the live draw goes in your favor and even more when it is a jackpot. This is unlike ordinary or traditional lotteries where you may have to wait or visit lottery centers to claim lotteries, plus cases of missing tickets may occur, and taxes may apply. In Crypto Millions Lotto, you not only get rewarded and withdraw your earnings the same day; you are free from paying taxes on them too.

While Crypto Millions Lotto does not have a mobile application or desktop software, it operates as a website, meaning you can only visit their official website, http://www.cryptomillionslotto.com, to play. The website is mobile-compatible, with features still in place as though on a desktop. Its website is enough to give you all the experience you may be looking out for in an app and is supported by all browsers.

Due to its lack of a mobile application, the platform doesnt have any special offers for mobile users.

Crypto Millions Lotto has the look and feel of the contemporary lottery site, with lots of offers here and there. Yet, its simple, easy to access and navigate. We can say that the simplicity of the site and the color choice makes it pretty welcoming and user-friendly.

Prior to signing up, you can see all the lottery and gaming options available to give you an idea of what you are yet to experience when you sign in. There are so many features and a wide range of options available on the website.

You can check out lottery prices in your countrys currency and translate the site to your countrys language to better understand the platform. You do not need to be an online gaming nerd to get started with Crypto Millions Lotto. By just looking at the platform, you may probably get a complete scope of what it offers and how to find your way around.

Thumbs-up for the placement of the static Crypto Millions Lotto logo at the top left-hand corner of the site. Its at a conspicuous area, allowing you to easily find your way back to the genesis if you get lost in the site. For a first-time user, you may also appreciate the static menu on the sites header.

The menu features: Getting Started, All Lotteries, Casino, Check Results, and Refer A Friend. This menu leads to arguably 80% of all the important stuff on the site. And on the right-hand side, you get to log out, access your account info, and also see your balance staring you in the face.

Once more, the perk here is accessibility. However, the width of the header looks relatively large, especially when viewed from a mobile device.

Your information and payment details are kept private and anonymous. With blockchain technology being adopted by the platform, you are even safer because payment details are secure and encrypted. What this means is that although they are permissionless and visible to the public, your status and personal information remain unknown to the public.

Crypto Millions Lotto also claims to offer a secure system and approach to validating and processing your transactions. Due to its use of blockchain technology, the sites activities and mode of operation are straightforward and transparent. Your payment information is not stored in their database; rather, it is recorded on the bitcoin blockchain network.

Its privacy and security cover only information regarding your status and payment details. Other cases, such as someone accessing your account without your notice, may not be covered in its security system and require you to be very careful on how and where you access or reveal your login information in public.

Also, losses are another security not covered in their terms of service because the outcomes of lotteries are not associated with Crypto Millions Lotto but with the respective live draws, which are always open. You are solely responsible for the entries you make and the games you play, and Crypto Millions Lotto has no direct control over your results.

Generally, compared to fiat-based lottery sites, crypto lottery platforms such as Crypto Millions Lotto raises fewer trust issues, especially because you have no fear of having your credit card information abused or exploited. Moreover, there hasnt been any news of data breaches on Crypto Millions Lotto since it began operation in 2020.

No matter how awesome a platform may claim to be, youll eventually run into glitches or hiccups someday. Thats why you should focus on joining only lottery platforms with active customer support services.

Crypto Millions Lotto has a commendable customer support system, which it claims has a maximum of 48-hour response time. But before you reach out to them, you may want to check if your query is already answered on the FAQ page.

FAQs are on every page of the Crypto Millions Lotto website. There is an FAQ for virtually every question you need to get you going. FAQs are updated regularly; always check them out. Its blogging section has tons of resourceful information to get you up and going in your digital lottery journey on the platform.

If the FAQ doesnt do justice to your query, you should explore any of the sites available support options. You can find its Live Chat support on your screen as a floating blue icon with a help? tag. Alternatively, you may reach its customer service through email at support@cryptomillionslotto.zendesk.com or info@cryptomillionslotto.com.

Theyve also got an active phone line (+44 207 117 2455) that promises a quick response. The last option at users disposal is to contact the company via mail, sendable to:

Ofertas365 (Curaao) N.V.PO Box 6248Kaya Richard J. Beaujon Z/NCuraao

Or

Wilmington Holdings PLC7 Bell YardLondon WC2A 2JRUK

All these customer support options are relatively enough to fix most of the issues you may have. However, we appreciate the transparent posture of Crypto Millions Lotto to realize that these options are not always enough. In several instances, users of lottery platforms have seen tangible reasons to escalate complaints beyond the management of the concerned platforms.

You may opt for a lawsuit or a formal complaint to the regulatory body where the platform is registered. In the case of Crypto Millions Lotto, the company, on its Complaints page, advised users to file official complaints to either the Department of Legal and Judicial Affairs of Curaao or Curaao Internet Gaming Association. These organizations may advise if there is a need to pursue legal actions.

Crypto MillionS Lotto has a fair share of good sides, as well as bad sides. Heres a breakdown of the pros and cons of using Crypto Millions Lotto.

The pros include:

The cons, however, include:

Crypto Millions Lotto claims to be the largest bitcoin lottery site and offers great features befitting an excellent digital lottery site. With bitcoin, you have the freedom and flexibility to enter draws and play e-games and stand the chance of winning on the big stage.

You just need to have bitcoin to get started. The concept employed in normal online lotteries is virtually the same in Crypto Millions Lotto but with better features. Crypto Millions Lotto is licensed by the Government of Curaao and acts in accordance with the international lottery laws with licenses from the government of the states and countries they operate in.

Crypto Millions Lotto is secure and values your privacy. The fact that bitcoin is the only medium of transaction makes it easier for the company to handle payment fast and securely.

Unrestricted entries are another great feature offered by Crypto Millions Lotto. You can enter as many entries as possible. You can as well start with as little as a microBTC (0.000001) and choose numbers that would possibly be the outcomes during the National Lottery live draws. Crypto Millions Lotto pays you instantly, no matter how big your jackpot may be. Your payments are private, anonymous, and properly insured by the worlds leading prize indemnity insurer.

Suppose you have any reason to file a complaint against the platform. In that case, you may use any of its customer support media or contact the Department of Legal and Judicial Affairs of Curaao and/or Curaao Internet Gaming Association.

Crypto Millions Lotto Review: Breakdown of the World's Largest Bitcoin Lottery Site - Blockonomi

Tuesday, July 20th, 2021 | Written by Renee

The 2021 World Series of Poker (WSOP) live festival is set to take place at The Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas this September for the last time. The upcoming event is expected to become among the biggest in WSOP history, as it makes a return after being on hiatus for more than two years due to the covid-19 pandemic.

Rio Set To Bid Goodbye to WSOP

The Rio has exclusively hosted the WSOP since 2005. The Las Vegas casino has been home to the worlds longest-running and most prestigious poker festival for 15 years, but that long-standing relationship could be nearing its end amid speculations that the WSOP would move to a new venue from 2022 onwards.

Rumors like this are not new. In fact, in 2019, when Caesars decided to sell The Rio to New York-based real estate firm Imperial Companies for $516.3 million, many believed that the WSOP would no longer take place at the Rio from 2020 and beyond.

This notion was quickly dismissed by WSOPs former Vice President of Corporate Communications Seth Palansky, saying that he could confirm 100% that The Rio would remain as WSOPs home in 2020. Palansky also said that the 2021 WSOP would also be held at the Rio as well. His assertions proved to be true.

While a 2020 WSOP was cancelled as a result of the pandemic, the festival is returning this year, with The Rio still hosting the action, but it could be the last time that the festival is taking place at the casino.

Unlikely Source Confirms WSOPs Transfer to Ballys

On July 15, the poker world woke up to the news that the WSOP will have a new home starting 2022. It was mentioned in a Facebook post by the Valley National 8-Ball League Association (VNEA), one of the biggest amateur pool leagues in the world.

In a lengthy post on its Facebook page, VNEA announced that it has secured a new partnership with the Westgate Las Vegas which will soon be the new venue for the VNEA World Championships.

On the same post, the association also revealed that its long-term contract with Ballys Hotel & Casino was cancelled as the WSOP will move to the property next year. Ballys has been the venue of VNEAs championship events for many years.

Nobody from the WSOP or Caesars has released any statement on the news, but as it currently appears, there could be some truth to the rumors. So whats now for Rio?

Rio To Be Rebranded to Hyatt

In March 2021, it was announced that Rio Las Vegas will undergo renovation and rebranding to convert it into multiple Hyatt properties. The redevelopment is part of franchise agreements between an affiliate of the Hyatt Hotels Corp and an affiliate of Dreamscape Companies.

When Imperial Companies acquired The Rio in 2019, it allowed Caesars to continue to operate the casino for two years under a lease-back agreement which required Caesars to pay $45 million in annual rent to the real estate company. The deal hasnt been extended, and so Caesars will now finally let go of The Rio.

While its also previously speculated that the WSOP could transfer to the new Caesars Convention Center, Ballys seems like a more viable option considering its massive space. At The Rio, the WSOP occupies approximately 235,000 square feet in combined space. Ballys and the neighboring Paris property offers a similarly huge space, making it suitable to host a massive event like the WSOP. Both the Ballys and Paris properties are owned by Caesars.

Assuming the speculations are all true, then the 2021 WSOP this September will be the last WSOP festival to take place at The Rio, which will soon become a Hyatt Regency Hotel. Players will prepare for a new environment starting next year; some would surely miss The Rio, but others would definitely welcome this new chapter.
