The Winter Online Championships kicks off the proceedings usually running in February, followed by the Spring Online Championships edition taking place between April and May.

It begins on February 17 with tourneys offering higher buy-ins ranging from $215 all the way up to $1000.
Every day one event is scheduled spanning 12 days, with each of them awarding a coveted gold ring to the winner.

WSOP Winter Online Circuit Super Series Ends on High Note
Both the series are scheduled on the heels of the WSOP Winter Online Circuit Super Series that kicked off the 2021 Circuit season.
More than $1 million was guaranteed across 18 ring events. Every single event that ran smashed its guarantee, with one even more than tripling its advertised guarantee.
The $525 buy-in Main Event drew 583 players and 310 rebuys to build a prize pool of $446,500— the largest across the festival. In total, more than $3 million in prize money was awarded across 18 events.
A similar performance is expected to be seen between the two upcoming series kicking off on February 14.
