The WSOP can’t be the global poker police
He’ll almost certainly never play in another WSOP event. For example, Archie Karas, the famed gambler who went on a $40 million run decades ago and had logged numerous WSOP cashes over multiple decades, is in the black books of both Nevada and California. Being added to any state’s “black book” is virtually a permanent sentence for a gambler, too. state’s blacklist of violators who have banned from all casinos in that state, which is the one added ban-worthy list that Caesars adheres to, literally by law. Neither are any of them present on any U.S. None of the players listed above have ever encountered such trouble at the WSOP or elsewhere within Caesars’ business interests, so they’re welcome to play. Instead, the WSOP will adhere to its long-established principles of being open to participants who have not already committed previous violations at Caesars properties - or online, at - that have resulted in a player currently being banned.
The WSOP issued no statement regarding the accused cheaters’ presence, and verified that there are no plans to do so in the near future. Imsirovic has not commented publicly about the allegations made against him by Alex Foxen, who played in the same event. Alleged poker cheater Ali Imsirovic plays on Day 2 of the 2022 WSOP’s first major event, the $100,000 NLE High Roller.
