"Entire WSOP Circuit 2021 Season Tour Moved Online
The World Series of Poker Circuit tour is quite popular with the US players. Every year, a series of WSOPC events take place at various live casinos across the country, with one or two events held online at WSOP.com.
However, due to the continued fallout from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, every stop on this year’s Circuit tour has been moved online.
One event will take place each month at WSOP.com, catering to players in New Jersey and Nevada, where both online poker rooms share a common player pool.
A total of 13 WSOP Online Circuit Series have been scheduled throughout the year, with each Circuit series featuring at least 12 WSOP official gold ring events. Four special “Super Circuits” will feature 18 gold ring events including the January edition, with the expanded schedule including $1000 and $2000 high roller events and a $500 PLO tournament.
Some of the stops have been named in homage to their live counterparts. Additionally, the WSOP will be offering promotional room rates for players from outside of New Jersey and Nevada to stay onsite, including the “cash at the cage” buy-in and cash out option.
All combined, 180 gold rings will be awarded across 2021 with the first batch of 18 Circuit ring events starting today.
“Players deserve great tournaments and great value year-round, and that’s what we aim to do with the 2021 WSOP Online Circuit Series,” said Ty Stewart, WSOP Executive Director. “We’ve been thrilled with the big prize pools for WSOP.COM events in 2020, and we only expect to see that grow with this new model.”
