Gain entry to WSOP, Paradise, and Super Circuit tournaments starting at $0.50 with WSOP Express Qualifiers
GGPoker Takes Center Stage at the World Series of Poker (WSOP) in 2026
The World Series of Poker (WSOP) is set to experience a significant shift in 2026, as GGPoker's influence continues to grow following its parent company, NSUS Group Incorporated's acquisition of the WSOP brand from Caesars Entertainment in 2024.
The acquisition, valued at $500 million, is scheduled to be fully paid by 2029. Notably, Caesars will continue to host live WSOP tournaments in Las Vegas for at least 20 years, ensuring the continuity of live events.
In 2025, GGPoker has already strengthened its partnership with WSOP. The platform has facilitated international online qualifiers for the Las Vegas events and co-branded with WSOP in major tournaments such as WSOP Paradise and the WSOP Circuit. This collaboration includes exclusive satellite qualifiers allowing players worldwide to earn packages to prestigious events and participating in co-managed festivals like the WSOP Paradise series at Atlantis Paradise Island.
Looking ahead to 2026, GGPoker’s influence is likely to deepen both in the online international player market and live event cross-promotions. While live events remain physically anchored in Caesars properties in Las Vegas and select global locations, GGPoker will probably continue expanding the reach of WSOP online satellites, promotional tie-ins, and integrated branding efforts, thus boosting the WSOP’s global player base and commercial footprint beyond traditional live attendance.
WSOP Express and GGPoker Promotions
In addition to its growing influence, GGPoker has introduced WSOP Express, a new qualifying system that uses a 'steps' mechanic to cater to various bankrolls. This system includes free daily Step 0 tickets and opportunities to win Step tickets through cash game challenges.
Furthermore, GGPoker offers a range of promotions for WSOP Express. The Step 0 level features free All-In or Fold 4-max Sit & Go, while the Step 2 jackpot prize awards a $30,000 Super Pass, a $10,000 Bracelet Pass, a $5,000 Ring Pass, and a bundle of Step 4 and Step 3 tickets to the winners respectively.
2025 WSOP Highlights and Future Events
The 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event was won by Michael Mizrachi. Notable events like the $25,000 Super Main Event at the 2025 WSOP Paradise festival in The Bahamas, with a $60 million guarantee, set new records in the poker world.
As we move forward, the Bracelet Pass, costing $10,000, will provide entry into the 2026 WSOP Main Event or other $10K bracelet events in Las Vegas. Similarly, the Ring Pass, costing $5,000, includes a Super Circuit package for the new season starting January 2026.
The Super Pass, priced at $30,000, includes entry into the $25,000 Super Main Event at the 2026 WSOP Paradise festival.
With the WSOP now under new ownership and GGPoker's extensive promotions, the future of the World Series of Poker looks exciting and accessible to players worldwide. For more details on WSOP Express, availability, step structures, and satellite schedules, visit GGPoker.
