In a recent interview, Director Executive of WSOP Ty Stewart had given its opinion on the implications for his business if online poker should be legalized:
"I think that we could completely revolutionize the category. Of course, I think that we will succeed because we have authentic and intelligent people like Mitch Garber [CEO of Caesars Interactive Entertainment CEO], who operated the site of poker number 1 global [PartyPoker], and we have excellent brands.
Of the large casino companies, we are the ones who most customers in our database, most of the traffic in our spaces, the more properties in the more different places that any other. Of course, one can hope to offer an exciting product and organise parties to significant liquidity on a regular basis - potentially the "soft" parts with the greatest King for players. I think that customer confidence has always been the No. 1 obstacle to be overcome for internet clients, and Caesars has buildings all around the world. People know where to find us. And we will never turn back to the customers."
Seth Palansky, Vice President of Corporate Communications for Caesars, said: "we want to thank the Commission for its efforts throughout this process. He did y no doubt about the fact that they are studying the files at bottom and ensure that Nevada is the best market regulated for online poker. We look forward to serving the people of Nevada when we're done with the steps necessary to achieve this."
