WSOP Paradise Schedule to Serve Up $50 Million in Guaranteed Prizes
The inaugural WSOP Paradise schedule has been released and, after much anticipation, the organizers have revealed that there will be 15 bracelet events spread over 12 days.
Following another successful summer of action in Las Vegas, the WSOP announced its first winter series last month. Set to go head-to-head with the WPT World Championship, WSOP Paradise will run from December 3 to 14.
July’s announcement teased a $50 million guarantee. We were told the $5,000 WSOP Paradise main event would pay out at least $15 million, but the full schedule was kept under wraps. With interest in the winter warmer starting to simmer, the organizers have finally announced the events set to take place at Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas.

Two high rollers will appeal to poker’s elite, but WSOP Paradise will have something for players at all levels. An $800 Flip & Go is a novel offering, while the $1,000 mini main event is a chance for those who can’t play the $5,000 equivalent to win a share of $1 million.
The small stakes events aren’t the only ways amateurs and aspiring pros can enjoy the first WSOP Paradise. GGPoker will be sending 1,000 qualifiers to the Bahamas. Those who qualify via an online satellite get help with travel expenses, an 11-night stay at Atlantis Paradise Island, their $5,000 main event entry covered, and access to a daily lunch buffet.
An additional 200 players will be sent to the Bahamas courtesy of the GGMillion$. Those who emerge victorious from that qualification route get an upgraded 11-night stay at Atlantis Paradise Island, help with travel costs, access to the buffet, and the chance to play one of two $25,000 events.
Crossover Innovations to Send Hundreds to WSOP Paradise
Adding to the number of poker players winning their way to Atlantis Paradise Island will be the Millionaire Maker.
The WSOP Online Series gets underway this month and there’s a $1,500 Millionaire Maker on the schedule. Anyone who makes it to the final 100 players of this event will step out from behind their computer screen, jump on a plane, and resume their quest for gold in the Bahamas.
WSOP Paradise will offer more than just fun in the winter sun. There will be a packed schedule of daily activities, including exotic excursions and parties. But, looking at the 2023 WSOP Paradise schedule, things are going to be just as fun at the poker tables.
