The Winning Poker Network (WPN) is once again running online qualifiers for the WSOP Paradise festival — for the third year in a row — despite not being an official partner of the World Series of Poker. The network’s flagship skin, PokerKing, which is also a highlighted partner of RakeRace.com, is taking part in the promotion.
In total, 72 packages worth $30,000 each will be awarded through a series of Mega Satellites taking place from October 12 to November 30.
What’s Included in Each Package?
- Seat to the $25,000 + $1,000 Super Main Event, which features a record-breaking $60 million guaranteed prize pool.
- Nine nights accommodation at the Royal at Atlantis hotel (December 9–18).
- Unlimited buffet access.
- Access to the Players Lounge and bubble protection.
The total prize pool amounts to $2.1 million, exclusively redeemable for WSOP Paradise 2025. Packages can be transferred to other players, with WPN assisting in the process — a rare feature in live poker package promotions.
Satellite Structure
- Beast Satellites: Every Sunday from October 5 to November 23, guaranteeing 75 seats worth $1,050 each into the Mega Satellites.
- Mega Satellites: Every Sunday from October 12 to November 30, with 9 full packages up for grabs in each event, worth a guaranteed $270,000 weekly.
- Step qualifiers: Players can enter for as little as $18.25, progressing to the $135 stage, then on to the $1,050 Mega Satellite. Direct entry to the Mega Satellite is also possible for $109.
Legal Grey Area
WPN is not an official WSOP partner, which in theory means it should not be allowed to host online qualifiers. However, the network has been running WSOP-branded promotions for years, both for the Paradise festival and the flagship Las Vegas series.
To redeem the package, players must register with the WSOP+ app and provide their unique ID to WPN.
Neither the WSOP nor its official online partner GGPoker seem to be taking action against the promotion. For WSOP, additional players traveling to the Bahamas is a net benefit, while GGPoker appears to be lenient regarding trademark use.
WSOP Paradise 2025 – Schedule and Highlights
The Bahamas festival will run from December 4 to 18, 2025, overlapping with both the WPT World Championship (Wynn, Las Vegas) and EPT Prague.
The centerpiece is the $25,000 buy-in Super Main Event, which will:
- Feature a $60 million guarantee (up $10 million from last year).
- Become the largest guaranteed live poker championship ever.
In 2024, the tournament launched with a $50 million guarantee, drawing 1,978 entries, though it ended with a small overlay.
Alongside the Main Event, the schedule includes 14 bracelet events, with several Triton-branded tournaments. However, unlike the past two years, there will be no online bracelet events at GGPoker this time.
Meanwhile, GGPoker has already been running official qualifiers since the summer, awarding 120 packages worth $30,000 each to date.
