GGPoker Announces 33 WSOP Online Bracelet Events
Just a week after announcing that GGPoker parent company NSUS Group is buying the World Series of Poker, GGPoker announces its WSOP Online series of bracelet events. While this tournament series has been happening for several years, it takes on new meaning with the new level of ownership in the works.
GGPoker sent the press release that the 2024 WSOP Online series will offer 33 tournaments with WSOP gold bracelets up for grabs. The full series will run August 18 through September 30, complete with a very long schedule of tournaments highlighted by the 33 bracelet events.
WSOP Online Schedule
The bracelet event schedule consists of 33 tournaments. Several of them have guarantees on the prize pools, and several of them are multi-day tournaments. The multi-day/multi-flight events do not list the details of opening flights, so players in parts of the world that can play on GGPoker must log in to view the tournament lobby. The main schedule of events is:

The tagline on the GGPoker WSOP Online page for 2024 reads: “There Are Two Kinds Of Poker Players, Those Who Have Bracelets And Those Who Don’t.” Ignoring the lack of an editor and the odd use of messaging, the page blurs the larger, complete schedule. There will be many other (non-bracelet) tournaments in the overall series.
Competitions and Other Offerings
GGPoker did a continent-based competition in 2023 and will do it again this year. When players sign up or play on their account, they are assigned a region corresponding with their location. The four regions are the Americas, Europe, Mediterranean, and Asia-Pacific. These designations then lead into two competitions.
Continental Flipouts will feature $3M in prize money. Everyone who players in a bracelet event will qualify. When the WSOP Online event concludes, players from the region in which the winner of the tournament is a member will all be invited to compete in a Flipout. Many other poker sites call them all-in tournaments, as every player is automatically all-in on every hand. Players don’t even need to be present to play, as there are no decisions for the players to make. Winners of the Flipouts will take home parts of the $3M cumulative prize money.
The second part of the regional promotion is the Country Competition, which will offer $1M in prize money. This is more of a leaderboard competition, as players who win bracelet events or finish in the top three will garner points for their country, which is more specific than the four regions. At the end of the series, the ten countries with the most points will qualify for freerolls. All players who participated in the bracelet series will win tickets to the freerolls, which will happen on Saturday, October 5.
Live Broadcasts
The GGPoker YouTube channel will broadcast live commentary for the final day of two events:
- September 24: $5K WSOP Online Main Event starting at 18:45 UTC
- October 1: $10K GGMillion$ High Roller starting at 18:45 UTC
Jeff Gross will lead the commentary for both events, with Daniel Negreanu joining him for the High Roller tournament and a mystery person for the Main Event.
