WSOP Circuit Online Returns With 12 Rings and $1.4 Million in Guarantees
The August series spans four regulated states, adds reload and Sunday Sale promos, and follows WSOP's clarification on Paradise package eligibility.
WSOP Circuit Online is back on WSOP.com from Aug. 6 to 17, bringing 12 ring events and $1.4 million in guaranteed prize money to players in Michigan, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Nevada. Buy-ins run from $100 to $1,000.
Each day of the 12-day run gets a new WSOPC event. The opener is a $100,000-guaranteed No-Limit Hold’em Deepstack on Aug. 6, and the series closes with another $100,000 No-Limit Hold’em event on Aug. 17. Other key stops include an $888 Crazy 8’s event with a $125,000 guarantee on Aug. 8, a $100 Mystery Bounty on Aug. 9 with a $150,000 guarantee, a $1,000 High Roller on Aug. 11 that also guarantees $150,000, a $320 Mystery Bounty on Aug. 13 with a $125,000 guarantee, and a $525 Main Event on Aug. 16 with a $250,000 guarantee.
Pokerfuse said every tournament in the series carries a six-figure guarantee except the $75,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship and the $75,000 No-Limit Hold’em Turbo. Aug. 16 also brings a Lucky 7’s Mystery Bounty with a $777 buy-in and a $125,000 guarantee.
The festival also comes with extra promos. Players who take part in the month’s WSOPC series and reload their accounts can get a bonus by depositing between Aug. 6 and 17 with promo code AUG26, and deposits from $10 to $400 are matched in full. The bonus releases $10 for every 100 wagering points earned through play. Aug. 16 is also set for Sunday Sale, which cuts the buy-ins on the three Sunday majors from $215, $1,000 and $500.
WSOP also cleared up the other big talking point around the circuit package. In late July, players questioned whether winners of online ring events would still get the $5,000 WSOP Paradise invitation package after Drake 'Sweet4U’ Kemper said he had been told no, even though WSOP promotional material said every gold ring winner in the 2026 circuit season would get one. Jeff Platt also said online ring winners would not receive the package, and WSOP Online customer support replies added to the confusion.
WSOP then confirmed that eligible online ring winners in the U.S. and international markets will continue to receive the $5,000 package, and said the benefit is funded by WSOP and separate from online prize pools. Until 2025, Circuit ring winners earned seats into the Tournament of Champions, a $1 million freeroll for ring and bracelet winners, and last year that reward was replaced by the Paradise package. WSOP Paradise 2026 is set for Dec. 3-17 at Baha Mar Resort in the Bahamas.
