Registration officially opened on April 13 and for the first time, and players have an additional option to save by booking an entire trip package including resort accommodations and airfare at BravoPokerLive.com. The travel process is via the Caesars Rewards Travel Bundle. Players can secure the best prices on a stay at any Caesars property in Las Vegas for the WSOP.
“This year’s WSOP is poised to break records with an unprecedented range of options to qualify for and attend the WSOP Main Event, widely recognized as the world championship of poker,” WSOP Vice President and Executive Director Ty Stewart said. “We’re excited to offer players an effortless and cost-effective way to book their entire trip to Paris Las Vegas and Horseshoe Las Vegas as they set their sights on becoming poker royalty this summer.”
Players are encouraged to utilize the online mobile registration process to sign up for events and pay online. Those registering online will need to visit the Champagne Ballroom located in the Le Centre Des Conventions in Paris one time before playing in their first event to verify registration with valid ID. Once verified, players can then select events online via BravoPokerLive and utilize the self-service kiosks to print seat cards and head directly to their table for play. In-person registration is also now available at the main casino cage inside Paris. Step-by-step registration information is available at wsop.com/registration.
The 2023 WSOP features the largest capacity to date, with 608 tables. The 2022 series set records for the most prize money ever awarded at nearly $350 million. The $10,000 Main Event produced the second-largest field in the history of live poker with 8,663 entrants—just 110 entries short of the record. Anticipation is high for this year’s series with online poker sites GGPoker and WSOP.com guaranteeing more than 700 Main Event seats from June 25 to July 8.
