Wynn to PokerAtlas
Wynn is now live on poker atlas. just launched yesterday.
I think the Bravo app sucks so this should be good news.
here's a report from a couple days ago

Aria switched to 2 hours during the WSOP last year and stayed there.
The big question for Wynn specifically is will people be allowed to put their name on the list on the app during WSOP? They are one of the rooms that stops taking call ins. Poker Atlas is the better app due to that feature but hardly any rooms use it.
Meh, I use both apps and have bumhunted fish I recognize on atlas lists in multiple locations but it’s just a fact that any place that either doesn’t use any app or has a clunkier in-house app that works half the time, will have softer games. Even Wynn knows that, which is why they are blocking out all the names on the list.
Bravo has that feature too. My local casino uses it.
Aria has been 2 hours for several years.
It does but it's only available at Caesars, Horseshoe and South Point. Scrolling Bravo now it looks like maybe 33% of the rooms in the country have the WL icon. Is it a software upgrade issue, have to pay more or what? it's 2024 they need to get with the times.
@borg23, yeah probably switched permanently 2 years ago not last year. Outside of WSOP you don't need more than the one hour anyways.
IME the line skipping only happens at checkin and only with staff intervention.
Right, but as soon as they check in, they jump ahead of everyone that's below Diamond.
NOT us 7* (degen brag). Can't say for LV CET rooms but outside of LV, it still takes staff intervention. You cannot just check into a kiosk and move up the list. And at some rooms, you can't bump someone already next on the list. You only go to spot #2. And yes 7star always bump a Diamond. I am in fact surprised that elite doesn't bump plus and plus simple diamond, but afaik all diamonds are equal.
Note where I said "below Diamond".
I'm sure they charge a **** ton for it. From what I understand Bravo is way more expensive than PokerAtlas for far inferior functionality. They so far have been skating by on name recognition / widespread adoption first, but that seems to be changing.
Any idea if these poker room signed long term contacts with Bravo? Otherwise if Atlas is cheaper no idea why more haven't switched.
It's hard to be the first that switches, especially if you aren't a premium product that people will seek out. A lot of people don't even know PokerAtlas exists, so not being listed on Bravo could be a big hit to business until Atlas gets more market saturation.
