New Rules for WSOP Paradise: Electronic Devices and Real-Time Assistance
WSOP Paradise Series Kicks Off with New Rules
The World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise series is just days away, and players attending should take note of an important rule change that will impact the use of electronic devices at the tables.
The tournament begins in the Bahamas on December 6, featuring 13 live gold bracelet events and two online events, all to be live reported by PokerNews. The series is headlined by the $25,000 WSOP Super Main Event, starting on December 9, with a $50 million guaranteed prize pool.
New Rule on Electronic Assistance
After the controversy surrounding Jonathan Tamayo’s WSOP Main Event victory this past summer, a new rule has been implemented to prevent cheating. Tamayo’s rail was observed using real-time assistance (RTA) software during the final table, which led to concerns about unfair advantages, although no rules were broken at the time.
The new rule, as announced by Kevin “kevmath” Mathers, prohibits players and spectators from using charts, apps, or any form of electronic assistance inside the tournament room. Violating the rule can lead to penalties up to disqualification for players, and removal from the tournament area for spectators.
Penalties for Violating the New Rule
The penalty for using real-time assistance during play is not explicitly defined but can include disqualification. The tournament director or floor supervisor will have discretion in determining the severity of the penalty.
If this rule had been in place during the 2024 WSOP Main Event, Tamayo’s rail would have been removed from the tournament area, and the same would apply to anyone watching the feature table livestream.
Additional Rule Changes for WSOP Paradise
Other new rules for the WSOP Paradise series include a ban on electronic devices at the table once the tournament reaches three tables remaining. Players are also prohibited from placing their phones or electronic devices on the table or rail during play.
What’s Next for the WSOP?
The WSOP Paradise series is now under the management of GGPoker, which acquired the rights to the World Series of Poker from Caesars Entertainment earlier this year. It remains to be seen whether these electronic device restrictions will continue, be modified, or removed for future WSOP events.
