With players from all four US states: Nevada, New Jersey, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, now merged into a single network starting today, WSOP Online has announced its much-anticipated online bracelet schedule for 2025.
Running from May 31 to July 15 alongside the live WSOP 2025 summer series, the online schedule once again features 30 bracelet events. However, this year’s edition promises to be even bigger, boasting larger prize pools as players from all four states compete together for the first time.
“This expansion enhances the experience for players by building even greater prize pools that are up for grabs all summer long as a part of our jam-packed WSOP Online schedule,” said Danielle Barille, Vice President of Online Poker at Caesars Entertainment, in the press release. “We’re ready to see who earns our largest online prize pools ever once the first hands are dealt this summer.”

Among the highlights of this year’s schedule, five of the events will have their final tables played live in Las Vegas. In these tournaments, play will proceed online as usual, but once the field is down to the final six or nine players, the action will shift to a live setting in Las Vegas.
Note: Initially, WSOP’s press release stated there would be ten final tables played live. It later retracted this to five. We have updated our article to reflect this correction.

WSOP 2025 Online Bracelet Series Highlights
Overall, the structure of the schedule remains largely the same as last year, but with a few notable changes. Buy-ins now start at $250 (compared to $333 last year), and the series will feature a mix of formats, including Mystery Bounties, Progressive Knockouts, multi-day events like Colossus, a Freezeout, several Championship events, and multiple 6-max tournaments.
This year’s schedule also expands its Mystery Bounty offerings, with six events combining for $5.5 million in guarantees. The centerpiece is the $1,000 buy-in NLHE Mystery Bounty Championship, which carries a $1.5 million guarantee, the largest of the series.
Furthermore, there are three $1 million guaranteed Mystery Bounty events with buy-ins of $555, $250, and $500. The $250 event will be run in a phased format with multiple Day 1 flights. Notably, only the Mystery Bounty tournaments feature guaranteed prize pools this year.
The series kicks off with a $400 NLHE Kick-Off event on Saturday, May 31, and concludes on Tuesday, July 15, with the $500 NLHE Summer Saver.
As noted earlier, the schedule closely resembles last year’s structure, featuring double bracelet days on Sundays and six Championship events scheduled for the second half of the series. Several tournaments are also inspired by live WSOP 2025 events, including the Colossus, Crazy 8’s, and Lucky 7’s. The usual suspects like the $1,000 NLHE Online Championship, $400 NLHE Ultra Deepstack, and $333 Triple Treys also make their return.
However, there are some key changes this year. Buy-ins are now capped at $5,300, a notable drop from last year, when a $10,000 WSOP Online Championship event was part of the lineup but has been surprisingly omitted in 2025. Although a $5,300 event was scheduled last year, it failed to meet the minimum entries and did not run. With players from four states now sharing the same network, that issue is unlikely to repeat this year.
As a result of dropping the $10,000 event, the average buy-in has decreased from $1,480 last year to $1,202 this year. The $1,000 buy-in level is the most common, appearing seven times across the schedule, followed by five events at the $400 price point.
In addition to bracelet events, the schedule once again features a couple of non-bracelet tournaments, such as the 25 Seat Scramble. This event, priced at $215, will run on June 29 and July 1, awarding 25 Main Event seats and leading directly into the prestigious $10,000 buy-in tournament.
Furthermore, for the first time, the online bracelet series will feature a 2025 Online Gold Bracelet Leaderboard, offering over $30,000 in prizes and crowning the Player of the Year.

Hybrid Online-Live Bracelet Events Return
One of the most intriguing aspects of this year’s online bracelet schedule is the number of hybrid online-live events. This was initially promoted in the press release as ten — double the number of last year — but this was later corrected to five.
In a hybrid event, play begins online as usual, but once the tournament reaches the final table, the action moves to a live setting. This format combines the accessibility of online poker with the excitement and prestige of a live final table.
When WSOP first introduced online bracelet events in 2015, they followed this exact structure, most of the tournament was played online, culminating with a live final table. However, starting in 2017, WSOP transitioned to running these events entirely online. An exception occurred in 2020, when the WSOP Main Event adopted a hybrid format after pandemic-related postponements.
The hybrid format made its comeback in 2023 with a single event. In 2024, the number expanded to five. Now, in 2025, it will remain again at five.
WSOP 2025 Online Poised for New Highs
With players from all four states now competing together, this year’s WSOP Online Bracelet series is expected to break records. Last year, the 30 events held within the shared liquidity network generated just over $30 million in prize pools, averaging around $1 million per tournament. Thirteen of those 30 events surpassed the $1 million mark individually. In total, the series attracted 44,699 combined entries.
At the same time, a separate series was held for Pennsylvania poker players, who were still ring-fenced. That series featured seven bracelet events, generating just over $650,000 in prize pools from 1,540 entries.
With Pennsylvania players now joining the larger network, the 2025 online bracelet series is set to outperform last year’s numbers. Although Pennsylvania may represent a relatively small addition, the larger player pool could help drive even greater participation and bigger prize pools.
The WSOP 2025 Online Bracelet series for US players runs from May 31 to July 15.
