WSOP Free-to-Play App to Host 72-Hour Charity Pokerthon
Fancy playing online poker for free and helping to raise awareness and funds for a great cause in the process? Then you need to get involved in the 72-hour Pokerthon on the free-to-play WSOP app this weekend.
Running from April 19-21, the online Pokerthon will see nonstop online ring game action and thrilling tournaments for 72 hours straight via the WSOP app. Not only will you get to enjoy the excitement of running a daring bluff or the adrenalin rush caused by stacking your opponents, but you'll also be raising money and awareness for the Disabled American Veterans charity because WSOP is donating to the cause.
More than 16 million veterans live in the United States, and the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) help as many veterans as they can through the various challenges and struggles they face, helping them to thrive in civilian life.
Barry Jesinoki, the chief executive officer at Disabled American Veterans, is delighted to collaborate with the WSOP app and Playtika, the company whose software powers it.
"We are thrilled that Playtika has chosen to support DAV during the World Series of Poker app's Pokerthon. While players have fun, they are simultaneously making a different in a veteran's life. Every dollar donated enables DAV to provide free, professional services to America's veterans, their families, and caregivers."
Guy Ceder, the General Manager of the WSOP free-to-play app, is proud to be supporting such a worthy cause.
"This isn't just another poker game; it's the chance to harness the power of our players to make an impact in playing with purpose. Working with such a meaningful organization like DAV on this initiative was critical for WSOP and Playtika in our continued efforts of social responsibility. We're proud to be supporting and honoring those who have served their country by engaging our community, with in-game thrills having an out-of-game impact."
What is the WSOP Free-to-Play App?
The Playtika-powered WSOP free-to-play app is the official social online poker site of the world-famous World Series of Poker. As the name suggests, the WSOP app is free-to-play and available in most countries due to the fact there is no real money poker played, so legally, it is not considered gambling.
Players are awarded the WSOP app's in-game currency when they create their free account and can purchase additional chips and coins from the app's built-in store. However, there is no obligation to do so and often no need because of the freebies the app regularly dishes out.
Dozens of free-to-play mobile poker apps and casinos are available to PokerNews readers. Global Poker is the best-known and free-to-play poker room with the most traffic. Global Poker uses a sweepstake model and a mixture of Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins in its ring games and tournaments. Sweeps Coins are always free but can be exchanged for real prizes.
ClubGG, powered by real money online poker giant GGPoker, is another popular free-to-play poker app. ClubGG also offers a subscription tier, known as Platinum, for $49.99 per money, which opens the door to winning cash prizes and tournament tickets, including WSOP Main Event seats!
PokerStars Play is another excellent option for poker lovers who live in a jurisdiction that does not allow real money poker. PokerStars Play provides platforms for players to enjoy the thrill of poker and the excitement of casino games without you ever having to spend a dime.
