GGPoker to Launch "Biggest Satellite of All Time" for WSOP Paradise

GGPoker has officially unveiled the Road to Paradise, offering its players a chance to win their way to WSOP’s newest live stop, WSOP Paradise.

Scheduled from December 3 to 14, WSOP Paradise will be hosted at the luxurious Atlantis Casino & Resort on Paradise Island in the Bahamas. This Caribbean poker festival will feature a staggering 15 bracelet events and $50 million in guaranteed prize money, with the spotlight firmly on the $15 million guaranteed Main Event.

As the trusted international online partner for WSOP, GGPoker has launched the Road to Paradise campaign, aimed at helping players fulfill their dreams of basking in the Bahamian sun.

The campaign is set to kick off on October 1 and will feature multiple opportunities for players to secure their spots through direct qualifiers, exclusive freerolls, OnLive events leading to three WSOP Paradise bracelet events, and the injection of Road to Paradise packages into weekly tournaments, among other promotions.

But there’s more to come, as GGPoker has tantalizingly teased a forthcoming special phased satellite event, which they confidently claim will be the “biggest satellite of all time.” While further details remain under wraps for now, the operator has promised to reveal more information soon.

“We are beyond excited to offer poker players from around the world the chance to win an incredible package to play at WSOP Paradise in the Bahamas,” said Daniel Negreanu, six-time WSOP bracelet winner and global ambassador of GGPoker. “It’s not just a poker event; it’s a dream vacation, and I can’t wait to see who will emerge as the lucky winners.”

When WSOP first unveiled its new winter stop in the Bahamas, GGPoker boldly pledged to send 1,000 players to this inaugural event. And the operator appears to be fully committed to this promise, given their track record.

During the previous summer, GGPoker successfully qualified nearly 800 players for the WSOP Main Event in Las Vegas. With WSOP Paradise, GG’s raised the stakes by committing to send an additional 200 players and also plan to give away an extra 200 High Roller packages.

Online Qualifiers to WSOP Paradise Underway on GGPoker

While the Road to Paradise promotional campaign officially begins this Sunday, online qualifiers are already in full swing. To date, 100 players have secured their WSOP Paradise Main Event packages.

These online qualifiers run round the clock, with buy-ins starting as low as $15 and progressively increasing to $150, $1200, and ultimately culminating in the coveted Main Event package valued at $10,000.

Each WSOP Paradise Main Event package includes entry into the marquee event featuring a monumental $15 million in guaranteed prizes, a lavish 10-night stay at the Atlantis Paradise Island Resort, and complimentary access to the lunch buffet.

For those seeking high-roller action, the WSOP Paradise GGMillion$ VIP Package, valued at $35,000, offers an enticing alternative. This package includes the same perks but grants entry into the $25,000 GGMillion$ instead of the Main Event. Qualifiers for this VIP package start at $40; thus far, ten players have secured this exclusive opportunity.

WSOP Paradise 2023 Highlights

The comprehensive WSOP Paradise schedule boasts a diverse range of events, catering primarily to high rollers but also including options for players with smaller bankrolls. Buy-ins range from $800 to a whopping $100,000, with prize guarantees spanning from $1 million to an eye-popping $15 million.

The series boasts three intriguing OnLive format events, offering a hybrid structure that allows participants to partake in online Day 1s and claim their share of winnings before their arrival in the Bahamas. These include Event #1: $1650 Mystery Millions, promising $5 million in guarantees; Event #3: $26,000 GGMillion$ featuring $10 million in guarantees; and Event #10: $5300 Main Event with an astonishing $15 million at stake.

Additionally, two events will be exclusively hosted on the GGPoker platform — a $2000 buy-in Mystery Bounty Pot-Limit Omaha event, boasting a $1 million guarantee on December 8, and a $1000 buy-in No-Limit Hold’em Freezeout event with a $1 million guaranteed prize pool.

The schedule also features a scaled-down version of the Main Event — the Mini Main Event, a $1000 entry fee tournament supported by a $1 million guarantee. Notably, there’s a 6-handed No-Limit Hold’em Event, set at a $1000 buy-in, promising $1 million in prize money, and a $2000 buy-in Closer event to cap off the festival.

Players based in the US can also win WSOP Paradise packages via WSOP.com, with online satellites running exclusively for players in New Jersey and Nevada.
