$18M in Promotions and WSOP Events in September

Alongside the continuation of WSOP Online, GGPoker has announced $18 million worth of promotions for September, as well as several qualification opportunities for live WSOP events. The main focus of the month remains the online World Series, which began in August, while satellites for WSOP Paradise are also expected to launch soon.

The 2026 WSOP Online began on August 16 and will continue through September 29, with a total of 33 bracelet events taking place on GGPoker.

The centerpiece of the series is the $5,000 Main Event, which features a $25 million guaranteed prize pool. In addition to the bracelet schedule, several promotions are running alongside the series.

A total of $3 million is being awarded through Continental Flipouts. Whenever a player wins a bracelet, eligible players representing the same continent can qualify for a Continental Flipout with a prize pool of up to $250,000.

There is also an additional incentive for bracelet winners. Each of the 33 WSOP Online champions receives a $30,000 WSOP Paradise Super Pass package, putting the total value of these packages at close to $1 million.

Players can also qualify for WSOP Online tournaments through the WSOP Express system. The four-step qualification structure allows players to start from as little as $0.50 and potentially progress toward packages worth $5,000, $10,000 or $30,000.

Following a similar campaign in August, GGPoker has announced another $18 million in promotional rewards for September. The September Giveaway runs from September 1 through September 30 and combines several promotions rather than distributing the entire amount through a single campaign.

A significant part of the promotional budget is connected to WSOP Online. This includes $3 million allocated to the Continental Flipouts and almost $1 million in WSOP Paradise Super Pass packages for bracelet winners.

The wider September promotion also covers different types of players and formats, including leaderboards, freerolls and other reward mechanisms running throughout the month.

The next major qualification campaign will focus on WSOP Paradise. GGPoker has confirmed that online satellites for the December festival are coming soon, although the complete qualification structure and schedule have yet to be announced.

WSOP Paradise is already integrated into the current WSOP Online promotion through the $30,000 Super Pass packages awarded to all 33 bracelet winners.

The upcoming satellite program will provide another route to the live series for players who do not win a bracelet during WSOP Online.

From a Hungarian perspective, the WSOP Circuit Malta qualification campaign is one of the most relevant regional promotions. Satellites are available to players in Hungary, with a qualification structure that starts with a freeroll and leads to a €1,500 Main Event seat.

The qualification path is:

€0 Freeroll → €5 Step → €25 Step → €150 Satellite → €1,500 Main Event Seat

The satellites are available to players in Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Poland, Germany, the Netherlands, Ukraine, Hungary and Sweden.

The Malta festival will feature 12 WSOP Circuit Ring events, with the online qualification system providing a direct route into the €1,500 Main Event.

GGPoker is also running a separate WSOP Circuit Panama qualification campaign aimed primarily at the Latin American market.

Satellites will run from September 26 through October 31, with four different qualification options available:

• $5 Daily Step
• $33 Daily Step
• Saturday Freeroll
• $22 Sunday Step

The qualification system ultimately offers players a route into the live WSOP Circuit Panama Main Event.

GGPoker's September poker schedule therefore remains centered on WSOP Online, while the qualification system is already beginning to shift toward the major live events scheduled for later in the year. Alongside WSOP Circuit Malta and Panama, the launch of WSOP Paradise satellites will represent the next major addition to the platform's live-event qualification schedule.
