WSOP Online will stage its fifth Fall Online bracelet series from Sept. 27 through Nov. 10, offering 33 gold bracelets to players competing in a shared pool across Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
The seven-week schedule keeps the same bracelet count as each of the previous four fall editions, but shifts more of the calendar towards mystery bounties. Tournaments are due to run roughly every other day, with two bracelet events scheduled on several Sundays. Buy-ins range from $250 to $3,200.
The series will be the second major annual opportunity for US-based online players to win a bracelet without travelling to Las Vegas. A bracelet victory is recorded in the official WSOP records, although the fall festival generally attracts less participation than the summer online schedule.
The four-state player pool was first used for the 2025 fall series. Caesars Entertainment described that edition as the first time all four jurisdictions had contributed to the fall pool, which ran from Sept. 28 to Nov. 11 and also offered 33 bracelet events.
This year’s average buy-in is $758, down from $831 in 2025 and less than half the $1,565 average for the inaugural 2022 fall series. Pokerfuse attributed the annual decline largely to the schedule containing one $3,200 event rather than two.
Mystery bounty events account for eight of the 33 bracelets, up from six last year. Their combined guaranteed prize pools total $2.2 million, compared with $1.9 million across last year’s six events.
The biggest is the $1,000 NL Hold’em Mystery Bounty Championship on Oct. 18, which carries a $350,000 guarantee. NL Hold’em Crazy 8’s has been recast as an $888 mystery bounty with a $250,000 guarantee, while a $500 PLO Mystery Bounty 6-Max offers $200,000.
The schedule retains three Pot-Limit Omaha bracelet events and otherwise consists of 30 no-limit hold’em tournaments. It drops the freezeout bracelet event included in 2025, reduces progressive knockout tournaments, raises the NL Ultra Deepstack buy-in from $500 to $600, and replaces Triple 3’s Tip Off with a same-buy-in Mega Stack event.
Pokerfuse said the festival could be the final WSOP Online bracelet series played on 888poker-powered software. WSOP’s existing agreement with 888 is due to expire this year, and it remains unclear whether Caesars Online will extend it.
It is also unresolved whether this year’s bracelet winners will receive WSOP Paradise packages. Winners in the 2025 fall series were offered $5,000 packages, including accommodation and entry to a Circuit Championship Mystery Bounty event.
The calendar includes the NL Hold’em Online Championship on Nov. 1 before the festival concludes on Nov. 10.
