This August, the online poker world is in for an exciting event as GGPoker, the new custodian of the World Series of Poker (WSOP) brand, launches the latest edition of the WSOP Online Series. The event is scheduled to take place from August 18 to September 30, 2024, marking the fourth consecutive year that GGPoker will host the WSOP Online International. The event will host 33 bracelet events, making it the largest yet and underscoring its significant expansion and appeal.
The Main Event prize pool is unprecedentedly huge:
The highlight of the series is undoubtedly the 28th Online Main Event, which comes with a guaranteed prize pool of $25 million, GGPoker reports. The final day of this landmark event, which has a $5,000 entry fee and will be broadcast live on GGPoker.TV on September 24, is sure to captivate viewers. This ambitious prize pool sets a new standard for online poker tournaments and reflects both the evolution of the game and GGPoker’s commitment to enhancing the player experience.
In addition to the main event, the series promises more high-stakes events, with two additional events offering guaranteed guarantees of $10 million each. The first event is Event #7, the $215 Mystery Millions event, which kicks off on August 26 with a top mystery prize of $1 million. The series will conclude on September 30 with Event #33, the $10,300 GGMillion$ High Roller, ensuring the event ends on a high note.

An exciting new addition is the “Bracelet Ranking” freeroll, which pits countries against each other based on a points formula, adding another $1 million to the prize pool.
According to Poker.org, GGPoker Global Ambassador Daniel Negreanu expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming series: "I'm excited to usher in another exciting year for WSOP Online. This series is more than just an opportunity to compete for a WSOP bracelet. "
In addition to high-stakes tournaments, GGPoker also offers a number of satellite tournaments, allowing players to qualify for bracelet events at a significantly reduced cost, with entry fees starting as low as $1. A comprehensive side event schedule throughout the series ensures that all players, regardless of bankroll size, can participate in the excitement of WSOP Online 2024.
