The World Series of Poker was and it's going to be an important poker event that will attract an impressive number of gambling lovers. Therefore, advertising or promoting your business at that time and in that place it's clearly going to be a great deal.

However, spokesperson Gary Thompson said that Harrah's is prohibiting ads from dot net webs connected with real-money online poker rooms that allow U.S. gamblers, as Full Tilt Poker and PokerStars. On the other hand, media web sites and player-promotional sites will still be permitted to promote their .net addresses.

Thompson said that Harrah's ought to respect the guidance of federal law and statement gaming regulators in managing its business. In this logic, the 2007 World Series of Poker event will not hold advertising from dot.com webs that tolerate access to U.S. inhabitants, nor ads from dot.net webs connected with those entities.

Different from the 2006 WSOP, the 2007 Series will permit gamblers to wear their promotional t-shirts, hats and accessories unrestrained. This will give players the opportunity to sell space on their body.

Thompson mentioned that he expects to post the 2007 WSOP regulations and registration procedures on worldseriesofpoker.com next week. There you can find a new logo procedure which will permit players to wear clothing with dot.net logos, as well as multiple and bigger logos.

However, Thompson would not validate the recent rumors that the latest advertising guidelines include a deal with Full Tilt Poker.

Nevertheless, he replied that if they sign any business agreement with another corporation, they will certainly make a public declaration at the proper time.
