Despite this move, the World Series of Poker (WSOP) will continue its operations in New Jersey.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Strategic Realignment and Market Performance<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The impending closure of 888poker follows the company\u2019s earlier announcement in February regarding the sale of its U.S. gaming assets to Hard Rock Digital, a subsidiary of the Seminole Tribe of Florida. This strategic realignment aims to refocus 888\u2019s gaming operations on global markets while reducing its presence in North America.<\/p>\n<p>888poker\u2019s performance in New Jersey has been underwhelming, contributing a negligible 0.006% of the state\u2019s online poker revenue since January 2024. With PartyPoker reporting slightly higher revenue at $532,872 during the same period, 888poker\u2019s market share dwindled to approximately 0.67% in March.<\/p>\n<p>Players currently using 888poker and 888casino NJ have been instructed to withdraw their funds before the platform\u2019s closure on June 3. Any remaining balances will be refunded via check in the subsequent months. However, Hard Rock Digital, the new owner of 888\u2019s U.S. assets, does not plan to introduce online poker to its New Jersey platform.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/sbet\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"Sportbet\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/250x250-sportbetone.png.webp\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/sbet\/\" title=\"Sportbet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Sportbet<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong>175% Extra +<strong> $75 Risk Free Bet<\/strong>!<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only. 175% on 1st Deposit + $75 Risk Free Bet<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-rating box-25 relative mb-10\">\n<div class=\"rating-box text-center box-100  relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-rating-box relative\">\n<div class=\"stars\"><span class=\"star on\"><\/span><span class=\"star on\"><\/span><span class=\"star on\"><\/span><span class=\"star on\"><\/span><span class=\"star on\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-rating-notice relative\">Casino &#038; Sports<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\t\n\t\t\t\t <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-button box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-button-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/sbet\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">\tVisit Site<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>This marks the first departure of an online poker operator in New Jersey since September 2014 when Ultimate Poker and Betfair ceased operations.
