WSOP Online Domestic Schedule Announced
On September 19, the World Series of Poker announced the domestic schedule for the 2024 WSOP Online. The series will run from September 29 through November 12 at WSOP.com in Delaware, Michigan, and Nevada.
The primary series will award 33 bracelets. A secondary series will run exclusively on WSOP.com in Pennsylvania and award four bracelets.
The series will feature buy-ins from $333 up to $5,300. Of the events, 22 will be priced at $900 or lower. There will be seven events with a $1,000 buy-in, including the NL Hold’em Online Championship on November 10.
The WSOP Online 2024 domestic schedule should feature the largest online prize pools of the year that players will not want to miss.
– Ty Stewart, WSOP SVP and Executive Director
There are four “High Roller” events with buy-ins of $2,000 or more, including the $5,300 High Roller on October 15. Most events will be NL Hold’em, but four will feature PL Omaha, including the $1,000 PLO 6-Max Championship on November 5.
There are five events with guarantees totaling $1.5 million. This includes Event #2, the $1,000 NL Hold’em Mystery Bounty with a $500,000 guarantee.
WSOP SVP and Executive Director Ty Stewart said, “Grab your chargers and get ready. With legal jurisdictions on both coasts and now in the Midwest with Michigan, most U.S. players should be within a reasonable distance to log onto our network and get in on the action. The WSOP Online 2024 domestic schedule should feature the largest online prize pools of the year that players will not want to miss.”

The March Towards WSOP 365 Continues?
As the WSOP continues to expand, I have made a recurring joke about “WSOP 365 – A bracelet for every day of the year.” The recent announcement of the domestic leg of WSOP Online brings the total number of bracelets to 245.
Don’t believe me? Here’s a breakdown of the bracelets awarded or that will be awarded later this year:
- WSOP Tournament of Champions – 1
- WSOP Vegas – 99
- WSOP Vegas Online (PA Only) – 7
- WSOP Vegas Online- 30
- WSOP Europe – 15
- WSOP Paradise – 15
- WSOP Online Domestic – 33
- WSOP Online (GGPoker Ontario) – 8
- WSOP Online International – 33
- WSOP Online Domestic (PA Only) – 4
The WSOP brand was sold to NSUS Group, and the company announced plans to expand the brand globally. This Global expansion will result in an increase in the number of bracelets awarded annually.
Only 120 more bracelets are needed to hit 365. Between live events and online bracelet events, my prediction is that the WSOP will hit that number around 2026. That’s assuming events like WSOP Europe are not eliminated or consolidated with others, like WSOP Paradise.
I could talk about bracelet saturation or that winning a bracelet doesn’t hold the same weight it has in the past, but all one has to do is look at the turnout of WSOP events to realize that the argument doesn’t matter to many players.
Poker purists argue against progress, whether it is a change in how a game is played or a legacy poker series like the WSOP.
In the end, the only thing that matters is the players. As with Field of Dreams, if you build it, they will come. The WSOP has built that players want to play, even if that means WSOP 365 is around the corner.
