It does not happen often that you hear poker news about play money poker, but when Party Poker bought the World Poker Tour (WPT), and contracted Kara Scott and Tony G, they are doing excatly that. In a statement on the website they said the following about the change of the play-money policy: “We recently implemented a new policy that restricts play money accounts to a maximum number of chips. This decision has the vast majority of our play money players in mind, and is intended to stop the transferring of chips from account-to-account outside of regular hands of poker. Although this may have affected some play money players in the short term, the decision was made in the interest of our play money games and the fair play benefits it will bring. We will not reverse our decision.” It seems that players would collect billions of play money chips from playing online poker, then sell them. For example: people pay $ 400 for 1,000,000,000 free play-money poker online chips on ChipEmpire.com. Why people pay $ 400 for nothing we do not understand, but it happens. Now this is no longer possible.

Online pokers like cake poker, pokerstars and casino online like party casino or casino.com are really keen to help over there. Let’s hope that everybody will be sensible on what happened.

he rules for the World Series of Poker are in this for years with only a few interesting changes. The most interesting change is the use of mobile phones and other electronic devices. They were banned from the WSOP, but now with the explosion of social media like facebook and twitter, they may be used once again. According to Rule 55 you aren’t allowed to have “ringing” electronic devices but you can use e-mail/text-capable devices: “Players not involved in a hand shall be permitted to text/email at the table, but shall not be permitted to text/email any other player at the table. If personel believes a player is communicating with another player at the table, both parties will be immediately disqualified from the tournament. All players desiring to talk on a cell phone must be at least one table length away from their assigned table.” WSOP announced that there is no limit on what logos a player wears. Also they said the penalty system will return this year. The final rule to no-showers at the tournament, the buy-in of these players gets removed from the prize, players can get their buy-in back untill July 17. Poker online and live poker will always be very different games. But the WSOP brings out the best in all players.
