The glitch has been promptly rectified, and users have been notified that the deposits that were allowed by mistake have not been processed.
Nevertheless, the fun-play site allowed players to get an insight into what is currently on offer, and they could access it from both Windows and Mac clients, as well as play for fun or opt for pre-registration for real money play and provide personal details such as physical address and social security numbers.

At present, it's still not known when Caesars is to launch real money action, but it is expected to happen this summer.
