It is summer, one unlike any other for poker players. At this time in past summers, poker players would be starting the WSOP Main Event and fans would be hitting refresh on the live updates from home. This is usually peak poker season, one of the most exciting times of the poker year.
Last year, everything changed. Almost every part of the World Series of Poker was online. While that worked out for many people – actually allowed more people to compete for bracelets than ever before – it wasn’t the same.
This year, the WSOP had to change to adapt and to actually have a chance of happening. What took place in the summer is now scheduled for fall. And what had previously – prior to 2020 – been a predominantly live series of tournaments is now a hybrid of live and online action. At least for 2021, poker players are simply happy to look forward to any live series and play the rest of it online.
The first part of the 2021 WSOP is ready to go. It is the one aimed at players in the United States, though only to players in New Jersey and Nevada. Players don’t have to claim residency there; they need only be physically located within the borders of those two states (and be of legal age) to play. The 33-event series kicks off this week on WSOP.com and runs through the entirety of July.
LFG.
WSOP Online 2021 for US Players
The schedule of the US series will award 33 WSOP gold bracelets from July 1 through August 1. Buy-ins range from $333 to $7,777. Only one tournament – Event 33 – offers a guarantee on the prize pool, and it will be the largest in WSOP.com’s history at $1M.
The series is broken down into themes, for the most part, as follows:

Midway through the official WSOP 2021 series online, the WSOP website in New Jersey and Nevada will also host its monthly WSOP Circuit online. The July one is dubbed Bally’s Online Circuit – and on some WSOP pages the Summer Online Circuit – and will offer 12 gold WSOP rings July 16-27.
At least that’s what the website said. And it appears to be wrong.
By looking at the online poker client itself, those tournaments are not listed.
Instead, there seems to be an Online Championships series that is not advertised on the website or on social media accounts.
According to the WSOP.com lineup, it appears that the series will kick off on July 7 and offer 93 tournaments through July 27. Most events will offer rebuys and add-ons or regular reentries, but there are a few freezeouts. Buy-ins appear to range from $5 to $1K.
