It’s the time of the year once again when the WSOP champion for 2015 will be crowned after a long wait since the 15th of July when the November 9 finalists were determined.

This Sunday the 8th November, will see the 2015 WSOP November 9 finalists compete in the 2015 World Series of Poker Main Event Final with a live albeit slightly delayed (30 minutes) streaming TV feed from ESPN.

The televised coverage of the 2015 WSOP will span through from the 8th-10th November.

Legendary footballer Cristiano Ronaldo has joined Team PokerStars as a brand ambassador, his role will be to promote the Pokerstars brand and poker to a large new audience.

The Real Madrid and Portuguese national forward was added to Team PokerStars on the 27th May 2105, only a couple weeks after Brazilian and Barcelona football legend Neymar Jr was added the the Team.

The two football superstars join an already impressive sporting team line-up with the likes of Brazil’s Ronaldo, Olympic field hockey captain Fatima Moreira de Melo and tennis legend Rafa Nadal.

Romania has submitted draft legislation to the European Commission detailing general provisions regarding the license to organise and the authorisation to operate games of chance for gaming operators looking to provide gambling in Romania.

The draft proposal includes detailed information for the regulations about online gambling within the Eastern European country.

Several modifications may still be required to be made due to amendments which were recently approved by the Romanian Parliament in addition to provisions made in OUG 92/2014.

With fall now underway and the cooler winter months rapidly approaching after a long summer, we expect players to start up their pc’s and start playing poker online once again.

The online poker scene has changed somewhat since last year in that 888 poker has grown in stature and risen to a formidable second spot, followed closely by the hotly contended iPoker network boasting the likes of Winner, Titan and Betfair.

The only thing that hasn’t changed is that Pokerstars is still the number one venue in terms of traffic, but even they have seen a self-induced decline in cash game player numbers in recent days.

Pokerstars recent cash game traffic drop (still at 18,000) is mainly due to their advent of “Pokerstars Spin & Go” which has drawn regular cash players into trying their luck at the lottery type Sit n’ Go game where jackpots can reach up to $30,000 from a $30 entry fee.

The only other negative that follows Pokerstars is Fulltilt poker hasn’t quite become the monster it once was and is struggling to maintain fourth place, in a jostle with PartyPoker, Full Tilt attained fourth spot due to its “Easy Bonus Promotion” which recently expired.

Overall it appears that online poker is on the decline but with the WSOP soon to get going when the 2014 WSOP November nine compete for the World Series of Poker title and the colder winter months approach, traffic numbers and enthusiasm for online poker are bound to increase.
