WCOOP 2020 - The World Championship of Online Poker is the granddaddy of all online poker tournament series. Pokerstars have continuously set the bar since the initial 2002 event, and this year’s no exception. It’s not only the most lucrative event yet, but also diverse - so players can prove their wits in many different variants. Including: NLHE KO, PLO, 6+ Holdem, 2-7 Draw, HORSE, 5-Card Draw, 8-game, Razz, Badugi, and Stud Hi-Lo. This is why Pokerstars is the place to be right now - until September 23 at least.
If you register for Pokerstars, you can participate in 3 special satellites for just $1. The top 25 players from each of the three tournaments will automatically enter the main event satellite for a $5,200 ticket. Otherwise, you can earn a $5,200 main event ticket for Sept 20 through qualifying MTTSs and S&Gs from $4. Or just buy-into the main event directly.

New WCOOP 2020 Stuff!
“This year we are excited to bring players our biggest WCOOP ever, as well as adding extra excitement and value into the mix,” said Managing Director and Commercial Officer of Poker at PokerStars, Severin Rasset. “We want to give players of all levels the opportunity to become a champion, so there will be lots of ways to get in on the action. Plus we’re particularly excited about setting poker fans up for the coming year with our new Slam Packages.”
These NEW Slam Packages guarantee automatic entry into 2021 SCOOP, WCOOP, and Stadium Series Main Event. For 15 weeks, there will be a special Sunday Slam tournament where you can win one of these. So on top of your WCOOP 2020 title, you’d get the chance to attempt a triple series win for free.
Meanwhile, there’s $1.5 million in WCOOP tickets in the NEW WCOOP Sweepstakes. Rizes. Including at least three $5,200 Main Event tickets daily. You can enter the Sweepstakes from August 30 to September 20 if you take part in a WCOOP tournament. But you can earn plenty, because the more tournaments you play, and the higher the buy-in, the more entries you get.
WCOOP Schedule Highlights
- Buy-ins and Guarantees: All events feature Low $55, Medium $530, and High $5,200 buy-in tiers for the freezeout Main Events on September 20.
