Harrah’s Revises WSOP Advertising Policy

As reported by Amy Calistri at PokerNews, Harrah’s has revised their advertising policies for the 2007 WSOP. Some notable changes include:

• The 2007 World Series of Poker venue will not contain advertising from dot.com sites that allow access to US residents, nor ads from dot.net sites affiliated with those entities.
• Unlike in 2006, Harrah’s is going to allow players to wear promotional t-shirts, hats, and accessories for any dot.net site they wish. More details were promised b Harrah’s shortly as far as the exact logo details.

The scuttlebutt making the rounds is that the changes were in response to a nixed deal with Full Tilt Poker, which had sought to be the primary sponsor for the 2007 WSOP but ultimately lost on the river due to their policy of continuing to take business from US players.
