To avoid queues and congestion, the WSOP encourages players to utilize the online mobile registration process to sign up for events, register, and pay online. Players who register online will need to visit the Champagne Ballroom located in the Le Centre Des Conventions in Paris Las Vegas one time before playing in their first event to verify their registration with valid identification upon arrival to the series.

- The Main Event:
The highlight of the WSOP is undoubtedly the Main Event. This flagship tournament attracts players from everywhere, each vying for the coveted WSOP bracelet and a chance to etch their name in poker history. With a multimillion-dollar prize pool, the Main Event promises intense competition and life-changing opportunities for participants.
The 2022 World Series of Poker Main Event ended with Espen Jorstad from Norway winning the $10 million grand prize in a field of 8,663 players. Jorstad beat Australia’s Adrian Attenborough with a full house of deuces over queens on the final hand.
Main Event for Life: If the Main Event record is broken, all entrants in the field will be placed into a drawing that awards a non-transferrable Main Event buy-in for the next 30 years. The drawing will utilize each player’s Caesars Rewards number and would be held on July 8.
- Satellites and Qualifiers:
For those looking to participate in the WSOP but seeking a more affordable entry, satellite tournaments and qualifiers are available. These satellite events offer the chance to win seats into higher buy-in tournaments or even secure a spot in the Main Event at a fraction of the cost.
- Online Presence:
In recent years, the WSOP has expanded its online presence, offering players the opportunity to compete in online bracelet events. Nowadays, almost everyone plays the online events as well, and one can see players doing that simultaneously while at a live poker table.
WSOP.COM Online Bracelet Events: Popular WSOP Online Bracelet events are back, including every Sunday during the summer, with three special “Double Up Bracelet Days” on June 4, June 25, and July 9. The schedule is highlighted by exciting events including the $500 Summer Saver, a $3,200 High Roller, and the signature $1,000 NLHE Online Championship.
