World Series of Poker Europe History:

In marketing the WSOPE, Harrah’s Casino did not rely upon the reputation of Harrah’s or the WSOP alone. On July 5, 2007, Harrah’s announced its alliance with England-based Betfair, one of the largest online gaming companies in the world. The agreement builds on Betfair’s European reputation in advertising the WSOPE while creating the largest agreement between a web-based and brick-and-mortar casinos.

Due to changes in U.S. laws, effective in 2007, the WSOP could no longer accept money from online gambling companies. This prevented the WSOP from acknowledging WSOP qualifiers from online events. The WSOPE is not bound by this limitation. The United Kingdom Gambling Act of 2005 allows for legal regulated online poker sites. Furthermore, as the laws that govern the age of gambling differ in England than the U.S., the WSOPE admits younger players.

In 2007, four of the five finalists at the first event of the WSOPE had won bracelets. Thomas Bihl, however, outlasted each of them to claim the first-ever WSOPE bracelet. No previous bracelet winners played at the second final table; Dario Alioto won the bracelet. Annette “Annette_15″ Obrestad, became the youngest player to win a WSOP bracelet event at age 18 years, 364 days in the final event of the tournament
