WSOP Online offering 30 bracelet events
$30K in leaderboard prizes

WSOP Online is all set to host 30 bracelet events on its platform from May 31 to July 15 with a bonus of leaderboard rewards worth $30K.

The 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Online Gold Bracelet Events is set to create a landmark moment in the history of US online poker.

For the first time, players from Nevada, New Jersey, Michigan, and Pennsylvania will compete within a unified network.

This development follows the recent integration of Pennsylvania into the shared liquidity pool, broadening the reach and competitiveness of WSOP Online tournaments.

Scheduled from May 31 to July 15, the WSOP Online gold bracelet event will run concurrently with the live WSOP 2025 events in Las Vegas.

Players located within eligible jurisdictions will have the opportunity to compete for 30 official gold bracelets online.

The schedule incorporates several structural updates, the continuation of hybrid formats, and adjustments that aim to enhance the overall playing experience.

2025 WSOP Online Bracelet Events - Details

While the total number of events remains consistent with previous editions, this year's WSOP Online schedule brings meaningful changes.

Buy-ins will now range from $250 to $5,300, a shift from the $10,000 ceiling seen in 2024. The reintroduction of a $5,300 event—absent last year due to low turnout—is positioned for a strong showing thanks to the expanded player base.

The average buy-in has decreased to $1,202, compared to $1,480 in 2024. The $1,000 buy-in category leads with seven scheduled events, followed by five events at the $400 level.

Tournament formats will vary widely, including Mystery Bounty, Progressive Knockout, Freezeout, and multi-day competitions like the Colossus, along with Championship and 6-max tournaments.

Hybrid Events: Returning Live Final Tables

A notable feature in the 2025 WSOP Online series is the return of the hybrid online-live format. Five online events will have their final table played in a live set-up in Las Vegas.

The hybrid model first emerged in 2015 and was used selectively through 2017 before moving primarily to fully online structures, with exceptions such as the 2020 WSOP Main Event.

It reappeared in 2023 and expanded in 2024. For 2025, five hybrid events will maintain the model, bridging the gap between online and live play.

Growth of Mystery Bounty Events

Mystery Bounty tournaments continue to gain prominence in the WSOP Online schedule. Six Mystery Bounty events are listed, featuring a collective $5.5 million in guaranteed prize pools.

The $1,000 Mystery Bounty Championship headlines this category with a $1.5 million guarantee—the largest single guarantee of the series.

Three additional Mystery Bounty events will offer $1 million guarantees each, with entry fees set at $555, $250, and $500 respectively.

The $250 event will implement a phased format, incorporating multiple Day 1 flights. Notably, these Mystery Bounty events are the only tournaments on the schedule to offer prize guarantees.

Opening and Closing Events, and Returning Formats

The WSOP Online gold bracelet events will commence with the $400 No-Limit Hold’em (NLHE) Kick-Off event on May 31 and will conclude with the $500 NLHE Summer Saver on July 15. Several popular formats are set to return, including:

$1,000 NLHE Online Championship
$333 Triple Treys
$400 Ultra Deepstack
Online adaptations of Colossus, Crazy 8’s, and Lucky 7’s

The Sunday double-bracelet event format is also scheduled to make a return, alongside six Championship-level tournaments concentrated primarily in the latter half of the series.

WSOP Online Gold Bracelet Events - Leaderboard

Beyond poker tournaments, the 2025 WSOP Online schedule includes the 25 Seat Scramble, taking place on June 29 and July 1. This $215 tournament will award 25 seats to the $10,000 Main Event at the live WSOP in Las Vegas.

A new WSOP Online bracelet leaderboard will debut this year, awarding over $30,000 in prizes. The leaderboard will recognize a Player of the Year for the online event, introducing an additional layer of incentive for players engaging across multiple events.

A Record-Breaking Summer for WSOP Online

The 2025 WSOP Online Gold Bracelet Events represent a defining chapter in the growth of regulated online poker in the United States.

Expanded player access, revised tournament structures, and newly introduced incentives position this year’s edition for success.
