There's this message that goes with online registration, related to having the funds 'cleared' in time:
"For those that register and send payment online (meeting the deadlines required), you will reduce time spent at Paris waiting in line. For those waiting until the last minute, online registration might not be a suitable option. A credit card is the only option available until the end of registration for most events. It is important to note there are three ways to pay for your Online Registration Buy-Ins:
Credit Card - for buy-ins $10,000 and under only. Accepted card payment types include Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover & Diners Club.
Once a credit card has been verified for WSOP 2023, this same card can then be used for online registration until the end of the WSOP.
ACH – for buy-ins $10,000 and under only (no waiting period required).
Wire Transfer (requires registration and funds wired at least 14 days prior to the event's start date)
Cashier's Check In-person only, at least 5 business days prior to the event date. (For instructions please email:
wsopfaq@caesars.com)"
I don't think Bravo supports the Cashier's Check option anymore. I think even a Credit Card payment takes a day or two to be processed and 'clear'. Why wait for the last minute if your have a specific event/flight planned? I guess the downside to registering and paying early is that something comes up that prevents you from attending the WSOP and playing. Then it could be a hassle to get a refund.
