WSOP Online’s Fall Poker Festival runs from Sept. 27 through Nov. 10, offering 33 gold bracelets to players in Nevada, New Jersey, Michigan and Pennsylvania. The series uses a single pooled player base across the four states and is scheduled to begin Sept. 27 with a $300,000-guaranteed No-Limit Hold’em Mystery Bounty.
Caesars Entertainment, which operates WSOP Online in the United States, said its championship schedule runs through Nov. 8 and carries more than $3 million in guaranteed prize pools. Buy-ins listed by Caesars range from $333 to $3,200.
The 33-bracelet total has remained unchanged in every fall online series since 2022, but this year’s schedule places greater emphasis on Mystery Bounty tournaments. There are eight such events, up from six in 2025, with $2.2 million in combined guarantees, according to PokerTube.
The $1,000 Mystery Bounty Championship is set for Oct. 18 with a $350,000 guarantee. Event No. 23 recasts the returning Crazy 8’s tournament as an $888 Mystery Bounty carrying a $250,000 guarantee.
The schedule also has three Pot-Limit Omaha bracelets: the $500 PLO 6-Max on Oct. 8, the $400 PLOSSUS on Oct. 24 and a PLO Mystery Bounty on Oct. 25 with a $200,000 guarantee. The $1,000 No-Limit Hold’em Online Championship follows on Nov. 1, before the $3,200 High Roller Championship on Nov. 8.
Average buy-ins have continued to decline, falling to $758 from $831 in 2025, according to Betting News. The equivalent average was $1,565 in 2022. The 2026 programme has one $3,200 event, compared with two High Roller tournaments last year, and removes the 2025 Freezeout bracelet event while reducing the number of progressive-knockout tournaments.
As we reported in August, WSOP Online’s September Circuit immediately preceded the bracelet festival with 12 ring events across the same four states.
Pennsylvania joined the Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement in 2025. The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board said players in the state became eligible for multi-state games on April 28, 2025, making Pennsylvania the agreement’s sixth member and expanding its shared player pool by more than 50% to cover more than 38 million Americans.
All bracelet winners and final-table players in the fall festival qualify for the $1 million Paradise Parlay. Eligible players can receive cash bonuses from $1,000 to $500,000, based on their participation and results at WSOP Paradise in December.
The fall series follows a summer WSOP Online programme that generated $24.5 million in prize money across 30 events and about 43,000 entries, PokerTube reported. Caesars says WSOP Online has awarded more than $100 million in prize pools since its 2013 launch.
