THE WORLD SERIES OF POKER® RELEASES HIGHLY ANTICIPATED 2023-2024 CIRCUIT SCHEDULE
The World Series of Poker (WSOP) is excited to announce the return of its WSOP Circuit (WSOP-C). The highly anticipated regional poker tour returns for its 19th season beginning Wednesday, July 19 at Choctaw Casino Resort in Durant, Oklahoma immediately following the conclusion of the 2023 World Series of Poker tournament in Las Vegas. 25 stops have been scheduled to date, with additional dates to be announced later this July on WSOP .com.
The highly coveted $1 million freeroll will return featuring a similar format as the 2022-23 season. Kicking off with the Choctaw Circuit Event, official WSOP gold ring winners from either the live or online circuit events through May 2024 will qualify for the invitation-only “Tournament of Champions” event during the 2024 World Series of Poker tournament at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
“We are on pace to make history with the largest WSOP of all time this year and have already hosted ten record-breaking events so far at the 2023 WSOP,” said Senior Vice President and Executive Director of the World Series of Poker, Ty Stewart. “As the excitement around the game of poker continues to grow exponentially, we expect this energy to roll into the WSOP Circuit the summer, setting some records along the way as well.”
While many venues will be familiar during the 2022-23 season, there will be one new stop at the Graton Casino in Rohnert Park, California, and another new stop at a Caesars Entertainment destination, Horseshoe Hammond, in Hammond, Indiana on Oct. 5-16, 2023.
Harrah’s Cherokee will be WSOP-C’s second stop beginning on Thursday, Aug. 3 with the tour continuing virtually nonstop until the season-culminating stop at Caesars Southern Indiana on Thursday, May 9-20, 2024.
Most WSOP-C stops will begin on Thursdays, with the four-day Main Events beginning on the second Friday of the tournament. Each stop is encouraged to add Seniors and Ladies events, where the winners will qualify to participate in the “Tournament of Champions” in Las Vegas. WSOP-C stops will feature standardized tournament structures and payouts, ensuring players traveling to multiple stops will be treated in a consistent manner at each event, barring any regulatory or local law differences. All stops will release their series’ event schedules upon approval by their local regulatory body, with the guarantee that every stop will offer at least a dozen official WSOP gold ring events starting at a $250 buy-in level and will include a $1,700 Main Event. WSOP Online Circuit events on WSOP .COM will be scheduled monthly.
WSOP-C schedules are subject to change and the WSOP reserves the right to make changes to all events related to the WSOP-C at any time.

155.io flips the script again with Coin Flip game release
Reading Time: < 1 minute
155.io, the live content studio built for a mobile-first world, has turned convention on its head with the launch of Coin Flip, a machine-run coin-flipping game.
Tossing coins is as old as time as a means to settle football matches, pub games, and everyday decisions – now 155.io has transformed that timeless ritual into a live, 24/7 digital betting experience.
Central to Coin Flip is a real coin-flipping machine, powered by a precision solenoid and monitored by an overhead camera. Every coin flip is analysed by machine learning and AI systems that record and validate results in real time, feeding the outcome directly into a secure game engine. All players have to do is correctly pick heads or tails – one side features the U.S. President and the other the American flag.
Coin Flip runs continuously, 24 hours a day, offering the world’s simplest, fastest, and totally transparent betting experience.
155.io Founder and CEO Sam Jones commented: “Tossing coins is something humans have done for millennia to decide anything from fixtures to fiefdoms. Coin Flip modernises that ancient ritual, in true 155 style, and adds a competitive layer that makes it seriously entertaining.”

2025 Global Regulatory Awards
Casino Guru wins Outstanding Contribution to Safer Gambling at 2025 Global Regulatory Awards
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Casino Guru is proud and pleased to have been awarded the “Outstanding Contribution to Safer Gambling” at the 2025 Global Regulatory Awards, celebrating the company’s longstanding tradition in bringing a safe, transparent, and responsible experience to players.
The distinction marks the latest accolade Casino Guru has won in the Responsible Gambling field, further highlighting the company’s ethos and philosophy for nurturing a sustainable and accountable industry where players are protected.
Commenting on the achievement, Šimon Vincze, the Sustainable & Safer Gambling Lead at Casino Guru, said: “Speaking on behalf of our entire team, I am humbled to accept this award, which is the latest distinction in Casino Guru’s unflagging efforts to make gambling safer and more transparent. Receiving this distinction from Vixio’s 2025 Global Regulatory Awards, and against a field of more companies that have dedicated efforts to making the industry more responsible, is an honor that motivates us to work harder and contribute to the collective effort.”
Casino Guru’s RG and fair efforts are captured in the very essence of what the company does. The company’s Safety Index has become a carefully curated benchmark that reviews and assigns casino ratings based on player preferences and interactions, prioritizing transparency above all else.
Casino Guru has launched multiple projects to this end, including the Casino Guru Academy, designed to educate industry professionals about the pillars of responsible, fair, and sustainable gambling. Apart from these, the company has also launched the Complaint Resolution Center, similarly intended to help players on their journey in iGaming.
The center has returned over $52 million as of today. Vincze himself has played a crucial role in the promotion of RG and raising awareness about the terminology associated with this, helping it become a more widely understood phenomenon in the industry rather than a tick box companies ought to complete, an effort he has spearheaded through the Global Self-Exclusion Initiative and the Safer Gambling Talks podcast.
Not least, Casino Guru has launched the Casino Guru Awards, a project centered around recognizing and celebrating the most successful and responsible companies in iGaming. The project has grown and is heading into its fourth year with new categories, sponsors, judges, and an expanding format.
All of these achievements have collectively served as the basis of Casino Guru winning this year’s Outstanding Contribution to Safer Gambling distinction.
