The 2024 World Series of Poker is now officially in the books. With the Main Event and remaining live tournaments concluding a few days ago, the last of the WSOP Online bracelets tournaments have finished as well.
The live portion of the series was quite successful for the organizer, but the online segment was nothing to scoff at either. When all was said and done, 37 online bracelets were awarded (30 in NV/NJ/MI and 7 in PA), and players took home just shy of $31 million in prize money.
More than a dozen events boasted a prize pool in excess of $1,000,000, and many winners took home six-figure prizes. We are bringing you an overview of both the WSOP Online and WSOP PA bracelet series, highlighting some of the most important stats and facts that marked this summer in the virtual space.

WSOP Online Bracelets Bigger Than Ever
With WSOP merging its player pools in Nevada, Michigan, and New Jersey into a new WSOP Online platform, this year’s portion of online bracelets was poised to be the biggest one so far.
The three-state schedule featured a total of 30 events, which ended up attracting almost 45,000 entries across the board, awarding $30.2 million in prizes. The operator raked in just over $3,000,000 over the entire series.
The largest tournament in terms of entries was Event #20 – $400 Colossus. It attracted a total of 3,379 entries, generating a prize pool in excess of $1.2 million. In terms of the largest prize pool of the WSOP Online bracelets series, the title went to Event #19 – $1,000 NLH Mystery Bounty, which saw 1,963 entries and the prize pool of $1,766,700.
The largest single payout went to Daniel Maor, the player who took down the $10,000 WSOP Online Championship, outlasting the other 133 players and taking home $330,263.

WSOP PA Numbers Somewhat Underwhelming
In Pennsylvania, there were a total of seven bracelet-awarding online events taking place over seven weeks. The overall turnout even showed a slight drop compared to the last year (1,540 entries in 2024 vs. 1,665 in 2023).
The largest tournament in terms of entries was Event #2 — NLH PKO, which attracted 267 players. However, all seven events had similar field sizes of around 200 entries, with Event #3 – $500 Deepstack Turbo the only one significantly below that average with 170 entries.
Not surprisingly, only two events managed to break the six-figure prize pool mark, but only by a very small margin.
One positive thing for PA online poker players is that small field sizes do make it easier to win a WSOP bracelet. However, if comparing numbers between WSOP PA and WSOP Online tells us anything, it’s that it’s high time for Pennsylvania to join the MSIGA and start sharing player pools with other regulated states.

| Total entries | 1,540 |

What’s Next for WSOP Online Bracelets?
With online bracelets done and dusted in the US, players from Europe and the rest of the world can look forward to their opportunities.
Although the official announcement is yet to come, GGPoker will likely hold the international WSOP Online series later this summer. Last year, the series kicked off late in August, so we’re probably looking at a similar timetable for 2024.
Of course, players will have many more opportunities to win bracelets at live events, with WSOP Europe coming soon and 2024 WSOP Paradise officially announced for December. All this is to say that there is plenty more bracelet action to come before we welcome the new year.
