Nevada based online social media and gaming company W Technologies Inc. is looking to launch an online poker within the USA that could eventually embrace “real cash” play. 

"Contingent upon the successful raise of our next round of capital, WTCG anticipates launching an online poker site offering online play for free as well as prizes to players globally,” stated W Technologies CEO Wayne Allyn Root.  “We believe the development of the first version of the future site may take 4-6 months to complete.  In parallel with the software development, WTCG intends to apply for a Nevada gaming license. If the Company meets the requirements of the State of Nevada and is granted a license, or decides to joint venture with a Nevada land-based casino license holder, it aims to be in position to allow residents of Nevada and outside the US to play games for cash. As additional states legalize online poker, WTCG's players in those states should also be allowed to play for cash. Naturally, no one can guarantee the issuance of a license, but we are optimistic that there is a bright future for online Poker in Nevada and other states through the country.”

Root, a popular Gambling911.com Special Contributor and former 2008 Libertarian Party Vice Presidential nominee, has strong roots in the gambling sector, primarily as one of the world’s most successful sports handicappers.

WTCG intends to use a social gaming advertising agency to assist with its market strategy. Through its relationship with CEO Wayne Allyn Root, the company has access to several databases of known gamblers which it will look to monetize.
