The online poker scene in the US is improving daily due to the coronavirus pandemic. Beginning April 5, WSOP.com will host a $4 million guaranteed Spring Online Championship series that will make history.

Every since the live poker rooms in Las Vegas (and New Jersey) closed down earlier this month, WSOP.com’s traffic has spiked. Many regulars on that site have noticed the games have been juicier lately. And far more players are now logged in at any given time compared to pre-coronavirus.
But the action is about to pick up even more in the coming days.
Juiciest Legal Online Poker Series in American History
Prior to Black Friday in 2011, there were numerous online poker events — such as the PokerStars SCOOP and the Full Tilt Poker FTOPS series. But since only four states (New Jersey, Nevada, Delaware, and Pennsylvania) now have legal online gambling, there haven’t been any major series the past decade.
That will all change come April 5 when WSOP.com hosts a $4 million guaranteed series. The 100-event series is only available to those in New Jersey, Delaware, and Nevada. Players in Delaware will compete in the series on the 888poker partner site. Pennsylvania residents cannot play as neither WSOP.com nor 888poker are available in that state.
Tournaments in the special online poker series range from $10 up to $1,000. The Spring Online Championship series kicks off with a $30 ($30,000 guarantee), $215 ($100,000 guarantee), and $55 ($50,000 guarantee), on April 3. It culminates with a $300,000 guaranteed Main Event on May 3.
Prior to the start of the Spring Online Championship, from April 1-4, WSOP.com will also host a 12-event warm-up mini-series with $250,000 in guaranteed prize pool money up for grabs.
WSOP.com the Potential Home for 2020 WSOP?
With the live World Series of Poker in jeopardy due to the coronavirus scare, many poker players have speculated the series will take place exclusively on WSOP.com. The WSOP recently announced a decision on the 51st annual summer poker extravaganza won’t be made until early May.
But the 51st annual WSOP already has 14 online poker bracelet events scheduled. And that means, should live poker still be banned in Nevada at the end of May, there may still be some major poker events to play this summer in the US. But we’ll have to wait another month to see what the WSOP decides.
