The world’s second largest online poker room, 888Poker, is the official sponsor for the 2016 World Series of Poker, meaning players can qualify for World Series of Poker events via 888Poker’s online satellites.

888Poker will be the official sponsor of the 2016 World Series of Poker (WSOP) when it kicks off in May. The deal, an extension of the one signed in 2015, allows 888Poker to offer their players a route to Vegas via their online satellite program.

The relationship will see the 888 regalia adorn the WSOP website, Live Updates page, and ESPN coverage of the event. It’s another sign of strength for an online poker room very much on the up and up.

Only last week, the WSOP released their official schedule. There will be 69 bracelet events. WSOP officials have called it the ‘the most ambitious and diverse schedule in the 47-year history.’
