The WSOP Paradise Parlay promotion, which generated big headlines the last time it ran, is making a comeback after a one-year break.
The two closely connected brands, WSOP and GGPoker, are once again joining forces to give players the chance to win additional prizes worth up to $250,000 for cashing in the record-breaking $60 million guaranteed Super Main Event. The event will take place as part of the WSOP Paradise 2025 festival, scheduled to run from December 4 to 18.
As before, the promotion ties into players’ performances during the WSOP Las Vegas summer series. However, this year, the eligibility criteria have been significantly expanded and will include more than 2,000 players, according to WSOP officials.
The format of the promotion remains straightforward. Players can win a minimum of $25,000 and up to $250,000 in bonus prizes. The Paradise Parlay is open to all players who meet at least one of the following requirements:
- If the player cashed in seven or more live 2025 WSOP bracelet events held in Las Vegas during the summer (only live events are counted).
- If the player cashed in the WSOP 2025 Main Event.
- If the player won a WSOP bracelet during the 2025 calendar year, including WSOP Online or WSOP Europe events.
Players who meet any one of these three conditions automatically qualify for the Paradise Parlay. To claim the bonus, they must at least cash in the Super Main Event. Those who cash will earn an extra $25,000, those who reach the final table will receive an additional $100,000, and the eventual winner will collect a $250,000 bonus.
| Super Main Event Finish Place | Bonus Prize |
|---|---|
| In the Money | $25,000 |
| Reach Final Table | $100,000 |
| Win the Tournament | $250,000 |
- Or get up to $100 worth of rewards
- Available in many regulated markets
- Great MTT schedule including WSOP events
Prizes are not cumulative, meaning players can only receive one of the three bonuses. For instance, if an eligible player reaches the Super Main Event final table and finishes in 9th place, they will receive a $100,000 bonus on top of their regular tournament payout.
All payouts will be credited directly to the player’s WSOP Plus account.
“The Super Main Event Parlay offers thousands of players potentially millions of extra reasons to join us in Paradise – just in case a $60M guarantee wasn’t enough!” said Ty Stewart, Chief Executive Officer of WSOP. “A $25K bonus for a min-cash in a multi-flight tournament is unheard of, and we’re excited to see how many players bet on themselves and join us at Atlantis for the first time this December.”
Chasing Another Buzz
When the promotion was first introduced back in 2023, it created a huge buzz across the poker community. The offer was clearly designed to attract players to the newly launched WSOP Paradise festival and to persuade them to choose it over the competing WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas.
It appears WSOP and GGPoker are looking to replicate that success by once again enticing players with extra prize money and perhaps rival the newly announced ClubWPT Gold Mystery Quest promotion in Las Vegas. This time, the eligibility pool has been widened substantially, encompassing over 2,000 players.
During the previous edition of the promotion, at least 65 players took advantage of the offer, including prominent names like Erik Seidel, Isaac Haxton, Daniel Negreanu, and Phil Hellmuth — all of whom earned extra payouts. Many received $25,000 bonuses, while several others claimed $5,000 prizes, with nearly half a million dollars distributed overall.
This time, the bonuses are much larger, but the qualifying event comes with a hefty $26,000 buy-in and a record $60 million guaranteed prize pool. It is expected that this will attract a strong lineup of high-profile players.
The 2025 WSOP Paradise festival marks the event’s third edition and will run from December 4 to 18, featuring 15 gold bracelet events. The series begins with the Circuit Championship Mystery Bounty, which carries a $5 million guarantee and is open exclusively to winners of this season’s WSOP Circuit events and 2025 WSOP Fall Online bracelet winners.
The schedule also includes six Triton events and the GGMillion$ NLH with a $10 million guarantee. The Super Main Event is set for December 10, and the series concludes with The Closer NLH Turbo Bounty, priced at $2,500.
Meanwhile, GGPoker is hosting online satellites with buy-ins starting as low as 50 cents that award WSOP Paradise packages worth $30,000 each. So far, more than 200 players have secured their packages and will be competing in the $26,000 buy-in Super Main Event.
In addition to the Paradise Parlay promotion, officials have announced several other attractive offers for the WSOP Paradise winter festival. Luxon Pay is granting a $5,000 bonus to first-time WSOP Paradise participants who register for at least $50,000 in tournament buy-ins, including the Super Main Event. Meanwhile, PokerStake has pledged to purchase up to 50% of any unsold action from WSOP Circuit ring winners who list their Super Main Event entries through its platform.
