Harrah’s Entertainment, one of the largest gambling operators in the United States, has begun advertising their online gaming sites on TV and within US newspapers. Once opposed to online gambling, they have changed their stance in recent months. They already launched an online casino that cators to players outside of the United States, but they are now offering free play sites to US citizens. They want to sign-up US citizens to their free play sites in order to solicit them once the laws change and makes it legal to gamble online in America.

Harrah’s already placed an ad in USA Today, a national newspaper in the United States, and they’ve begun promoting their online poker room on the ESPN sports channel. You can expect that they will continue to aggressively promote online gambling within the US media, now that it looks like online gambling is sure to be legal sometime in 2011.

Would be great to know a source within Harrah's that would spill on what their business plan/strategy is, and what they think they know.

They have to keep it play money only for now. There is a stange amendment to the committee House bill that just passed that says the US gov. will ban any poker sites that solicited US costumers over the last few years... Who knows what this means for Stars and Tilt et. all. They need good lobbyists before final law...

This also brings up the question on if a player will ever be able to qualify for a WSOP seat on any other site? If not- watch attendance plummet. This will also effect ad revenue for TV sponsorship on ESPN and final table patches ect. in a big way. You can already see companies positioning for this. Tilt has a number of essentially info-mercials and Stars is trying to join in with Big Game, adding the NAPT along with a holding deal with HPT.

Another question is if Americans will be able to buy stock in the sites that stay off shore?
