World Series of Poker and GGPoker launch WSOP Paradise

Following a record-shattering summer, the richest, most prestigious and longest-running poker series – the World Series of Poker – is heading to the Bahamas this winter for a new live tournament poker series, WSOP Paradise.

The newly minted series, made possible through a partnership with GGPoker, is set to take place from December 3-14, 2023, at Atlantis Paradise Island.

The new series builds on the momentum generated by the record-breaking 54th annual WSOP which took place at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas on the Las Vegas Strip this summer.

After sending 774 players to the Main Event at this summer’s WSOP, GGPoker has pledged to send at least 1,000 players to WSOP Paradise. Online qualifiers at GGPoker.com, and tournament promotions, including hotel accommodations with special rates for tournament players, will be available at a later date.

Featuring 15 bracelet events in total, WSOP Paradise will be headlined by a total of $50 million in guaranteed prize pools, including a $5,000 Main Event with a $15 million total prize pool guarantee, and a $1,500 Mystery Bounty with a $5 million guarantee.

In addition, WSOP Paradise will have unparalleled value for High Rollers. The winter series will feature a huge $100,000 event with $5 million guaranteed, a $50,000 event with $2 million guaranteed, two Pot Limit Omaha events with seven-figure guarantees, and a signature $25,000 GGMillions event with a staggering $10 million total prize pool guarantee!

"The summer was an unprecedented success, but the vision is equally as ambitious for WSOP Paradise,” said Ty Stewart, Executive Director of the WSOP.

"We have the strongest online partner in the world, and they are set to send a record number of qualifiers to a live tournament. Atlantis also has a great legacy in poker, and we believe this combination of partners can deliver poker’s most powerful new franchise for years to come. Many players say summer in Vegas is the best time of year. We hope that will only be rivalled by winter in paradise."

GGPoker is the world's biggest online poker room. New players can use the GGPoker bonus code wired when registering to get the biggest available welcome bonus. Once registered, players can enter WSOP events directly from their GGPoker account.

Daniel Negreanu, GGPoker's Global Ambassador, said of the upcoming winter event: “GGPoker is delighted to launch WSOP Paradise and welcome hundreds of players from all over the world to Atlantis Paradise Island this December.

"It’s going to be an absolutely amazing experience, the best of poker at one of the world’s most luxurious resorts!"

The full schedule of events will be announced later this year.
