Key Takeaways
  • Several online poker sites are offering satellites with packages for a trip to Sin City despite uncertainties about whether the WSOP live series will go as planned or not.

The in-person 2021 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas is just over one month away. While there is no certainty yet whether or not the live poker festival of the year will proceed as planned from September 30 to November 23, several online poker sites are offering satellites with packages for a trip to Sin City.

The WSOP itself is hosting $10,000 Main Event qualifiers in three regulated US states including the newly launched Pennsylvania whereas GGPoker, being the official partner for the international online poker pool, is running both WSOP online bracelet series and official satellites to the Main.

Its own private home-based app ClubGG is also offering WSOP Main Event packages via the subscription-based model, while Natural8, one of GGPoker Network’s main skins, is running additional exclusive promotions to send players to Las Vegas as well.

Former exclusive partner 888poker launched the Road to Vegas campaign with $13,000 packages earlier in August and the Winning Poker Network (WPN) joined the fray with its upcoming WSOP Takedown promotion in September.

With fewer than five weeks to go until the start of the 2021 WSOP at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino, poker players from all over the world certainly have plenty of options available. In the meanwhile, the domestic portion of the 2021 WSOP Online Bracelet Events and the additional Pennsylvania-only edition, have already concluded.

The international portion on the GGPoker Network recently crossed the halfway mark and awarded more than $38 million in prize money so far.
