The 54th Annual World Series of Poker (WSOP) is now in full swing! Las Vegas is buzzing with action, with poker pros and recreational players from all parts of the world flocking to the gambling capital of the world for their chance at cash and glory.
But visiting Las Vegas is not necessarily the only way to play for a WSOP bracelet this summer, as a number of online WSOP events are on the schedule, with the first one already playing out for the residents and visitors of Nevada and New Jersey.
A total of 20 bracelet events for Nevada/New Jersey and seven bracelet events for players in Pennsylvania/Michigan will play out over the summer, providing plenty of opportunity for all WSOP visitors and those staying back home in several states.
The WSOP will also offer several double online bracelet days, which means those visiting Vegas will have their hands full with both live and online action.
A number of well-known online events, such as the $1,000 NLH Online Championship and the $3,200 High Roller, as well as brand new events like the $5,300 High Roller Championship will mark this year’s pursuit for online gold.
Let’s take a closer look at the schedules and find out when and how you can play in WSOP online events this summer.
Online Bracelets in Nevada and New Jersey
The WSOP first introduced online bracelet events back in 2015, with Nevada being the only state where players could join for the first couple of years.
Not too long after, the New Jersey market was merged with Nevada, and players from both states had an opportunity to play for gold, with more than ten unique events on the schedule in recent years.
This summer, WSOP will offer 20 bracelets to players from the two states, with huge turnout and massive prize pools to be expected.
Today at 3:30pm is the first @WSOPcom Online Bracelet Event for players in Nevada and New Jersey, the $333 Triple Treys Summer Tip Off.

With more players expected to be in Vegas for the Series than ever before, you can expect the numbers in the online events to be quite spectacular as well, which means taking part in these could prove highly lucrative.
Keep in mind that PLO WSOP online events can only be played on PCs (mobile software doesn’t support PLO), so make sure to bring your laptop with you if you are traveling to Sin City these days.
