The World Series of Poker has a long history of corporate sponsorship that ties into both the live tournament series and the WSOP mobile app. Sponsors play a role in funding the events and also gain visibility through branding in the game and around the real poker world.

The Real-World WSOP and Its Sponsors
The live World Series of Poker tournament, held annually in Las Vegas, has attracted major sponsors from across industries. Past and current sponsors have included companies from the financial, gaming, and entertainment sectors. These partnerships fund prize pools, event logistics, and media coverage. The exact sponsor lineup changes year to year as contracts are renewed or restructured.
How Sponsors Connect to the App
The WSOP mobile app, developed by Playtika, carries the WSOP brand license. Some real-world WSOP sponsors have visibility within the app through branding, themed events, or promotional chip deals. When a major tournament event happens, the app often runs a parallel in-game event with themed branding tied to the live tournament sponsors.
Caesars Entertainment and WSOP
Caesars Entertainment has historically been closely tied to the WSOP brand since the tournament has been held at Caesars properties in Las Vegas for decades. This relationship is part of why the WSOP app and Caesars Casino app exist within the same Playtika ecosystem and share some cross-promotional features.
How Sponsorships Affect Players
For players of the mobile app, sponsorship deals occasionally translate into in-game promotions such as free chip offers, special event access, or branded content tied to a sponsor. These appear through the WSOP social media channels and in-app notifications. Keeping an eye on official WSOP announcements is the best way to catch any player-facing sponsor promotions when they run.
Where to Find Current Sponsor Information
The official WSOP website lists current tournament sponsors and partners. For app-specific promotions tied to sponsors, check the WSOP Facebook page and in-game event panel where branded promotions are announced.
