The World Series of Poker 2025 in Las Vegas is now in the books, and attention turns to the online bracelet series on GGPoker, exclusively for players outside the United States.
For the sixth consecutive year, the WSOP Online Bracelet Series will be hosted on GGPoker, offering another chance for players outside the US to chase the dream of winning a coveted WSOP gold bracelet — this time from the comfort of their homes.
A separate series for Ontario online poker players will also run on the GGPoker Ontario platform during the same timeframe.
Although the full schedule and exact dates have not yet been officially announced, it has been confirmed that the WSOP Online Bracelet Series will return in mid-August, once again featuring 33 bracelet events.
As in previous years, the series will offer players opportunities to win packages to WSOP Paradise through giveaways. Additionally, the series will be supported by a variety of side promotions boasting a combined prize pool of $4 million.

Expected WSOP Online Bracelet Series Schedule & Promotions
While we await the full details, we can speculate based on prior editions. The series is expected to run from the third Sunday in August — likely August 17 — through to the end of September, likely concluding on September 29.
With 33 online bracelet events already confirmed, we anticipate the return of many familiar favorites such as the Colossus (potentially with a $500 buy-in), Gladiators of Poker, Mystery Millions, the $1,500 Millionaire Maker, and possibly the Ladies Event.
GGPoker-branded events are also expected to feature prominently, including the $10,300 GGMillion$ High Roller, GGMasters, and possibly Flip & Go — although that format was notably absent from the live WSOP 2025 in Las Vegas.
Expect to see several phased events as well, with two or three tournaments offering $10 million guarantees, a $5 million guaranteed event, and many more sizable prize pools throughout the schedule.
All eyes will once again be on the $5,000 WSOP Online Main Event. Last year, this event set a new benchmark by breaking the record for the largest Main Event in online poker history. This year, it is very possible that GGPoker may raise the guarantee from $25 million to $30 million — an unprecedented figure for online poker. Whether GGPoker chooses to make that bold move remains to be seen, but if past trends are any indication, there is a strong chance they might.
The 2024 edition attracted 6,146 entries across 17 starting flights, generating a prize pool of $29.1 million — coming very close to the $30 million milestone. With momentum on its side, GGPoker could realistically set a new record by guaranteeing $30 million this year.
In terms of promotions, the operator has confirmed the return of the popular Continental Flipouts, which will once again award $3 million in total prizes. This promotion involves GGPoker running a freeroll for each bracelet event, segmented by four continental zones: Americas, Europe, Mediterranean, and Asia Pacific. When a player from one of these regions wins a bracelet event, everyone from their corresponding group will be entered into a special freeroll.
This means there will be 33 Continental Freerolls in total, with a combined prize pool of $3 million.
In addition to that, another $1 million will be distributed via a country-based competition, which is likely to take the form of additional freerolls. These could reward players from the top 10 performing countries during the series.
Both the Continental and Country Competition Freerolls will award tickets to the Road to Paradise satellite campaign, allowing players to win seats to WSOP Paradise 2025, which is set to take place in December in the Bahamas and will feature a record-setting $60 million guaranteed Super Main Event.
The 2025 edition of the WSOP Online series marks the sixth year in a row that international bracelet events will be held online. GGPoker first stepped up in 2020 during the global COVID-19 pandemic when live events were suspended, hosting a massive WSOP Online series that concluded with a record-breaking Main Event. Since then, the WSOP Online series has become a fixture on the calendar, typically kicking off a few weeks after the conclusion of the live WSOP in Las Vegas.
Last year, the WSOP Online 2024 bracelet series awarded a staggering $114 million across the same 33 bracelet events. The average prize pool per event came in at $3.4 million, with over 153,000 total entries recorded.
