40 Under 40: Danielle Barille, Vice President, World Series of Poker Online, Caesars Entertainment

Danielle Barille

Poker is Danielle Barille’s passion. She leads the No. 1 online poker operation in the United States. Barille participated in the launch of the online real money poker extension of The World Series of Poker, WSOP.com, in 2013. Her efforts have resulted in annual revenues in excess of $40 million.

In 2017, Barille facilitated shared liquidity in Nevada and New Jersey to allow play between individuals in both states. This groundbreaking achievement resulted in more competition and larger prize pools. Barille also aided in bringing Pennsylvania and Michigan into the WSOP.com portfolio.

The poker industry was a perfect fit for Barille, who has always been interested in sports and strategic games. “My favorite thing about my current job is being able to interact with individuals from all over world,” said Barille. “Poker has allowed me to meet so many different people from all walks of life and from different countries, all drawn to competing at the highest level in poker.”

Barille credits her parents for raising her to be who she is today, helping her develop strong leadership, independence and integrity. When she’s not working, she enjoys golfing and spending time with her dog, Albatross.
