The comprehensive online-only festival offers poker tournaments for online poker players. This year’s domestic schedule at WSOP.com is available to players in the following states:
“The return of WSOP Online is so exciting,” WSOP Senior Vice President and executive director Ty Stewart said in a news release. “Together with GGPoker, we have a clear vision to make this festival annually the biggest deal in online poker so that the WSOP offers players the marquee event in both live and online poker each year.”

The WSOP Online on WSOP.com will offer 33 bracelet events to players physically located in Nevada or New Jersey through its shared liquidity network. For the first time at this year’s online festival, WSOP.com expands the action to include players in Michigan and Pennsylvania. Those state’s also have six weekly bracelet tournaments each.

WSOP Online runs adjacent to major live tournaments in Las Vegas
The live tournaments at this summer’s WSOP in Las Vegas produced record-setting numbers and prize pools. Now WSOP adds that the online series schedule will run “adjacent to a series of notable live tournaments in Las Vegas this fall.”
That includes series at Venetian, Aria, and the World Poker Tour’s Five Diamond World Poker Classic at Wynn running Oct. 7-23. A WSOP Circuit event is also scheduled in October at Harvey’s Lake Tahoe.
More Las Vegas tournament action may be in the works as well. This means more players have the opportunity to play in the WSOP Online while in Nevada.
GGPoker hosts international WSOP online
For players outside the US, GGPoker will offer 33 bracelet events with buy-ins ranging from $100 to $10,000. The $5000 World Championship (aka GG WSOP Online Main Event) – features a $20 million guarantee.
The event is expected to be another record-setting online tournament after the inaugural 2020 Main Event produced a $27.5 million prize pool and $3.9 million first place prize from 5,802 entries.
Along with the Main Event, there are five other $5,000-plus buy-in events, including a $10,000 Heads-Up Championship and the $10,000 Super MILLION$ High Roller, which comes with a $5 million0 guarantee.
In addition, the $1 million Mystery Bounty with a $10 million guarantee should be a success with just a $210 buy-in. The online event will have Stage 1 flights running Aug. 8-22. Day 2 begins later on Aug. 22 and play continues to the final table, which is streamed on GGPoker.tv on Aug. 27 with commentary provided by Jeff Gross and Ali Nejad.
