The highly anticipated WSOP.com real money online poker site has launched and was accepting deposits from those residing or visiting Nevada Wednesday (May 29, 2013).

The launch was in conjunction with the start of the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, an event that will continue through a good chunk of July.

The real money online poker site can be found at www.wsop.com along with updates on current World Series of Poker events taking place.

Some bugs were reported as the site did not permit downloading at the time Gambling911.com attempted to do so. Others, however, have reported their ability to download and play for real money online.

The WSOP.com online poker site is the second licensed real money Internet card room to go live in the US this month following in the shadows of UltimatePoker.com.
