In a bold leap forward for U.S. online poker, Caesars Entertainment has launched the 2025 WSOP Online Fall Series with a major shift in format: for the first time, players from Nevada, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Michigan will compete in a shared liquidity pool, breaking down state-by-state barriers and creating a truly national playing field.
Running from September 28 to November 11, the series includes 33 bracelet events and more than $10 million in guaranteed prize money, making it one of the most ambitious WSOP online seasons to date.
National Access Ushers in Bigger Fields and Bigger Wins
The unified player pool is expected to deliver record-breaking fields and prize pools. Previously, players were confined to competing only against others in their own state. Now, with this combined ecosystem, the stakes—and the opportunities—are higher than ever.
Christin Maschmann, poker analyst and commentator, called the change transformative: “Marquee events should comfortably surpass records, while broader payout structures will keep recreational players engaged. For players, this means more opportunities to turn modest buy-ins into six-figure scorers.”
She also emphasized its broader impact: “It re-establishes online poker as a truly national platform.”
Deep Schedule with Variety and Value
The series opens with Event #1: No-Limit Hold’em $300K GTD Mystery Bounty and closes with Event #32: $3,200 High Roller Championship. Key events include:
- 12 – Event #16: $500K GTD Mystery Bounty Championship
- 2 – Event #25: $1,000 Online Championship
- 9 – Event #32: $3,200 High Roller Championship
Buy-ins range from $250 to $3,200, with 23 tournaments priced below $1,000, ensuring accessibility for recreational players while still offering high-stakes competition for seasoned pros.
WSOP Paradise Packages Add a Global Dimension
A unique element of this year’s series is the $5,000 WSOP Paradise prize package awarded to every bracelet and ring winner. The package includes a hotel stay and entry to the $5 million guaranteed Circuit Championship Mystery Bounty at Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas, running December 4–18, 2025.
Maschmann described this as a smart fusion of online and live poker worlds: “Online victories can open doors to world-class live experiences… It’s a year-round ecosystem: online funnels into live, live success stories inspire new online signups, and the cycle continues.”
Caesars Doubles Down on Online Poker Growth
According to Danielle Barille, VP of Online Poker at Caesars Digital, the expanded format reflects Caesars’ ongoing commitment to poker innovation: “With more than $10 million in guarantees, the 2025 WSOP Online fall domestic schedule promises something for every type of poker player… the stage is set for the world’s best poker players to compete in a thrilling run of high-stakes action.”
Registration and Eligibility
Interested players can register online at wsoponline.com, but must be physically located in one of the four eligible states during play. Out-of-state participants can book travel and accommodations via caesars.com.
With a national player pool, massive prize guarantees, and a gateway to live championship events in the Bahamas, the 2025 WSOP Online Fall Series marks a defining moment in U.S. online poker’s evolution.
