The World Series of Poker (WSOP) is coming to the Holland Casino Amsterdam Centrum in March 2025.
As a result of the WSOP’s arrival, the operator’s cooperation with the World Poker Tour (WPT), which has visited Amsterdam annually since 2015, has come to an end.
WSOP will be at Holland Casino Amsterdam Centrum in 2025 from 14 March to 22 March, but the two parties have worked together in the past.
The WSOP International Circuit has been taking place in the Netherlands since 2017 at Holland Casino’s locations in Rotterdam and more recently in Venlo, which will remain on the programme.
“With the WSOP, we have succeeded in bringing another strong international poker brand to Holland Casino Amsterdam Centrum,” commented Pieter Boers, Director of Gaming & Services at Holland Casino.
“I think we will make all poker-loving Netherlands very happy.”
As previously mentioned, with the arrival of WSOP, Holland Casino has ended its collaboration with WPT. WPT Amsterdam took place between 2015 and 2024, except for 2021 due to COVID.
Gregory Chochon, COO of the WSOP, added: “The players have shown that they deserve a second Circuit event in the Netherlands. We are excited to bring the World Series of Poker to Amsterdam.
“Holland Casino Amsterdam Centrum is an excellent location in a beautiful city. We expect a great turnout.”
Last month, Caesars Entertainment finalised the sale of the WSOP brand’s intellectual property rights to GGPoker’s parent company NSUS Group.
The transaction has been closed for the previously reported $500m price tag, which equates to $250m in cash and a $250m promissory note due five years after the transaction’s closing secured by the WSOP intellectual property assets being sold.
While Caesars has sold WSOP to NSUS, the operator will continue its relationship with the poker brand for several more years, both in a land-based and online manner. In addition, several WSOP executives will also take on leadership roles within the NSUS structure.
