GGPoker hosts the 2026 WSOP Online Bracelet Series from August 16 to September 29, featuring 33 bracelet events and $5 million in promotional value. All 33 winners receive a $30,000 Bahamas Super Pass, alongside Continental Flipouts and Country Competition rewards.

GGPoker has officially confirmed the return of the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Online Bracelet Series for 2026.

Scheduled to run from August 16 through September 29, the six-week digital festival will feature 33 official WSOP bracelet events alongside $5 million in added promotional value.

A major update to this year’s promotional structure ensures that every single bracelet winner will receive a $30,000 Super Pass package to WSOP Paradise in the Bahamas, regardless of the buy-in level of the tournament they win.

Three Key Promotions Add $5 Million in Value

GGPoker’s dedicated promotions page details three returning promotional mechanics designed to distribute $5 million across both champions and the broader player base:

Super Pass Bonus ($30,000 per event): Automatically awarded to each of the 33 bracelet winners.

Continental Flipouts ($3 million total): Distributed to players who share a geographic continent with a bracelet winner.

WSOP Country Competition ($1 million total): Countries earn points based on player performance, with the top 10 nations securing freeroll entries.

Under the rules of the Country Competition, if a top-10 nation is excluded due to regulatory compliance restrictions, the freeroll position passes down to the next eligible lower-ranked country.

Bahamas Packages Extended to All Buy-In Levels

In previous editions, Super Pass packages were primarily reserved for the winner of the marquee Main Event. For the 2026 series, GGPoker has extended the $30,000 package to all 33 event winners.

As a result, an athlete taking down a modest four-figure buy-in event will receive the exact same Bahamas package as the winner of the flagship tournament. Each Super Pass provides direct entry into the WSOP Paradise Super Main Event, scheduled for this December in the Bahamas.

The promotional value also extends to non-winners through the Continental Flipouts and Country Competition.

Players who fail to reach a final table can still earn five-figure payout opportunities simply by living on the same continent as an event champion.

Expanding Traffic and Previous Series Records

The WSOP Online series has demonstrated sustained growth over a three-year trajectory. The 2025 festival generated over $119.5 million in total prize money across its 33 events, drawing nearly 165,000 total entries.

The 2025 $5,000 Main Event featured a $25 million guarantee and ultimately attracted 5,961 entries, creating a final prize pool of $28,314,750. Benjamin Rolle claimed the top prize of $3,900,707, improving upon his eighth-place finish in the same event the previous year.

GGPoker’s qualification ecosystem has also expanded into regional markets. Earlier this year, Canadian players gained access to a dedicated Super Circuit qualification route leading into a $10 million guaranteed Main Event in Kahnawake.

Player traffic metrics on GGPoker continue to reach new peaks. While the 2025 WSOP Online series established the platform’s highest concurrent player count at the time, that mark was surpassed in May during the $300 million guaranteed GG World Festival, which recorded over 900,000 concurrent players.

Full Event Schedule Pending Release

GGPoker has not yet published the full event schedule for the 33-bracelet lineup. Historical rollouts indicate that complete tournament schedules are typically finalized closer to the launch date.

In the 2025 edition, confirmation of the $5,000 Main Event and its $25 million guarantee occurred shortly before the series commenced. A similar announcement timeline is anticipated for 2026.

With six weeks of online competition ahead, players can prepare for the opening events beginning August 16.
