Last weekend, Todd Witteles posted on Twitter, “Report: Caesars Nevada online poker to launch within 7 days.” Four days later, we haven’t heard much from the Las Vegas-based Caesars Entertainment about a time line for the launch of its real money, regulated online poker site in Nevada. In the meantime, the lone option for Nevada players is Ultimate Poker, which has ties to Fertitta Interactive, Station Casinos, and UFC. Read our Ultimate Poker review.

On Wednesday, a few details about the launch of Caesars’ Nevada online poker site were discussed during a call about the 2013 World Series of Poker. Caesars owns the WSOP brand and will launch in Nevada as WSOP.com, so it only seemed fitting that WSOP Vice President Ty Stewartwould remark, “I think the market is ready for a first-class product. We’re absolutely thrilled to get WSOP.com up and ready concurrent with our signature offline series.”

Stewart gave no definitive date as to when the first virtual cards would fly, but given that the 2013 WSOP kicks off on May 29, we’d believe that a launch in the very near future is all but guaranteed. Officials with Caesars’ online poker site declined to comment to us.

Later on in Wednesday’s call, Caesars Interactive Entertainment Vice President of Corporate Communications Seth Palansky told PocketFives and other members of the media that much fanfare would come when WSOP.com is launched for real money: “We’re not discreet when we have news to share. We’re hard at work completing the necessary steps required to bring it to market. We can’t confirm an exact launch date, but we’re trying to get it up this summer. We intend to be in this business 100 years from now, so it’s not about when we start. We just have a lot of boxes to check off.”

Palansky concluded, “It won’t be too much longer.”

Tourists and poker players coming to the WSOP in Las Vegas will be able to play on any real money gaming sites that are launched, as Nevada’s law says that a person only needs to be located within the state’s borders in order to play. The sites use geo-location technology in order to prove that players are in Nevada. Ultimate Poker opened its doors on the last day of April and has experienced a somewhat rocky ride since, highlighted by dumping its affiliation with Iovation, which has ties to Ultimate Bet. That relationship is now being investigated.

Players seated at WSOP tables might even be allowed to play online poker legally, as the Rio will offer free WiFi and, according to Tournament Director Jack Effel, the series’ electronic device policy will remain the same as last year: “As long as a player is not in a hand, they can do whatever they want. Players in between hands can feel free to use their electronic devices. We know these guys are playing Open Face Chinese and doing other things on the side, but my concern is that the game is being played at its same pace.”
