Top pros will be mixing it up with recreational players from around the world this summer at GGPoker. The company announced the schedule for the 33 gold bracelets up for grabs this August on the international side of the World Series of Poker Online.
The series runs Aug. 1 to Sept. 12 and offers players $45 million in guaranteed prize pools.
“After making history last year, WSOP Online opens up to the international poker community again this August and September,” GG ambassador Daniel Negreanu said in a press release. “I’m ready to join tens of thousands of poker players from all over the world at the tables, all of us aiming to take down one of those 33 gold bracelets.”
What to expect from the GGPoker WSOP Online
This year GGPoker is offering even more action than 2020 and expects huge online fields. Among the events listed is a $5,000 Main Event with a $20 million guarantee.
Day 1 starts Aug. 22 and each flight is a freezeout event and players can play up to three flights. Beyond winning a bracelet, the winner of the Main Event is also awarded some bonuses from GGPoker including:
- Custom site avatar
- $50,000 tournament entry package
- Team champions badge
- GGPlatinum Fish Buffet Status
Last year’s Main Event prize pool reached $27.5 million, the largest amount for a single online poker tournament. That distinction earned GG a recognition from the Guinness World of Records.
A few other bracelet events that stand out include:
- $50 NLHE “The Return” (Event 1, Aug. 1) – $1 million guaranteed
- $1,111 Charity COVID Relief (Event 2, Aug. 1) – $11 fee to charity
- $1500 Millionaire Maker (Event 7, Aug. 8) – $5 million guaranteed
- $5,000 Pot Limit Omaha Championship (Event 13, Aug. 17)

More details on the series
The WSOP Online is currently underway at WSOP.com in the United States in New Jersey and Nevada. The series then shifts internationally for August. WSOP.com also recently launched in Pennsylvania in the US and is planning an eight-event bracelet schedule there as well.
As part of the GG series, poker fans can expect plenty of poker action at GGPoker.tv, the site’s official streaming channel. The company has recruited some big names to call the action.
Regular WSOP broadcasters Norman Chad and Lon McEachern will share the commentating duties on a few big events. Those tournaments include:
- Heads-up Championship (Event 15, Aug. 26 and 28)
- WSOP Online Main Event (Event 27, Sept. 9 and 11)
Along with the online action, the WSOP is preparing for live bracelet events to take place in Las Vegas this fall. The company also recently announced the return of the WSOP Europe this fall.
“World Series of Poker is proud to partner once again with GGPoker to allow players throughout the globe compete for WSOP glory,” , WSOP executive director Ty Stewart said. “It’ll be the closest thing to the live WSOP tournament experience outside of Vegas.”
