You've probably heard of The Pennsylvania Polka, especially if you're a fan of the movie "Groundhog Day," but today they may be singing "The Pennsylvania Poker."
That's because Caesars Entertainment has announced the latest development in its online poker offerings by expanding the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Online platform to include Pennsylvania.
This move marks a historic milestone as Caesars becomes the first online poker operator to share liquidity across four U.S. jurisdictions: Nevada, New Jersey, Michigan, and now Pennsylvania, which just joined the Multi-State Online Poker Network. With this update, WSOP Online remains the only platform in the country where players from all four states can compete in the same player pool.
WSOP Online is operated by Caesars Entertainment, Inc. and is the largest legal real-money poker site in the United States.
This announcement follows last week's news that Harrah’s Resort Atlantic City will host the World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOP-C) again. And the opening of a new live-dealer studio at Tropicana AC.
WSOP Online Bracelet Schedule Unveiled
Alongside the expansion news, Caesars has released the 2025 WSOP Online Bracelet schedule.
This year's lineup includes 30 bracelet events, aligning with the 56th annual live World Series of Poker, hosted for the fourth consecutive year at Paris Las Vegas and Horseshoe Las Vegas.
Danielle Barille, Vice President of Online Poker at Caesars Entertainment, is excited about these developments. He stated in a press release, "The addition of the Pennsylvania player pool to WSOP Online comes at the perfect time, and we’re ready to give avid poker players in The Keystone State the opportunity to raise the stakes on their poker play." Barille emphasized that this expansion will enhance the player experience by building greater prize pools available throughout the summer schedule.
Caesars Entertainment's New Additions for 2025
The first Online Bracelet event is set to commence on May 31, culminating with final events by July 15. Notably, WSOP Online will introduce an Online Bracelet Leaderboard, offering over $30,000 in prizes. Participants will earn leaderboard points, with the top scorer being named the 2025 WSOP Online Bracelet Player of the Year.
The events, scheduled each Tuesday, Saturday, and Sunday, offer players the chance to earn an official gold bracelet, from the $333 Triple Treys No Limit Hold’em event on June 8 to the $5,300 WSOP Online High Roller Championship on July 9.
Last year, participants vied for over $30 million in prize money, and this year's schedule includes six Mystery Bounty tournaments with $5.5 million in guarantees.
Opportunities for Entry and Participation
WSOP Online will also provide exclusive satellite tournaments to qualify for land-based events, with entry fees starting as low as $1. Key events include the guaranteed 25-seat Main Event mega-satellites on June 29 and July 1, where 25 $10,000 Main Event Seats are assured per event. Ten Online Bracelet events will follow a hybrid format, starting online and finishing at live final tables in Las Vegas. Meanwhile, international players can compete in WSOP satellites exclusively at GGPoker.
Players have the flexibility to engage in WSOP Online while attending live WSOP events in Las Vegas, scheduled from May 27 to July 16. The prestigious "Main Event®" kicks off on July 2.
