Series the first online tournament series in history to break the
nine-figure barrier; the previous record stood at $85 million.
Eighteen WSOP Super Circuit Online Series ring events will headline the
series, and for each a coveted WSOP Circuit gold ring will be awarded to
the event winner, in addition to the lion’s share of the guaranteed
prize money.

WSOP Super Circuit Online tournament buy-ins start from $50, with the $25K
buy-in High Roller Championship the most costly event to play.
As is customary with offline WSOP Circuit events, the WSOP Super Circuit
Online Series will also extend two invitations to the $1,000,000 freeroll World Series of Poker Global Casino Championship official bracelet
event, one to the Main Event winner and one to the overall series points
leader.
GGPoker players will be able to qualify for all WSOP Super Circuit events
via satellite tournaments, ensuring a shot at big prizes and WSOP gold
rings for a potentially low buy-in.
