WSOP.fr, the poker site created via the partnership between Caesars Interactive Entertainment (CIE) and Groupe Lucien Barrière, has been awarded an online gaming licence by French regulator ARJEL.
The skin of the Barrierepoker.fr platform will offer real-money poker as well as WSOP-branded tournaments and qualifiers into WSOP events in Europe and the US.
CIE announced the deal last week alongside the news the World Series of Poker Europe would move from London to Barriere’s Cannes casinos as part of an online-offline tie with the French casino group.
The BarrierePoker.fr joint venture between Lucien Barierre and former lottery monopoly operator La Francaise des Jeux received its licence from the French regulator in July 2010, launching later that year on software provided by developer MKO Games, the company Barriere engaged to power its LeCroupier.com UK-facing 3D casino. FDJ partnered with Barriere for poker in France despite signing an earlier deal with California-based CyberArts.
