The World Series of Poker (WSOP) which takes place each year in Las Vegas is always special as it is the biggest poker tournament in the world.

However, the 2019 WSOP is going to be extra special as the WSOP is celebrating its 50th anniversary and is putting together some special events and promotions to give back to players.

The WSOP had four online bracelet events in 2018 where players were allowed to take part in official WSOP events at the flagship WSOP.com website. The WSOP has confirmed that it will host as many as 9 online bracelet events this year with 7 of them taking place on Sunday’s during the tournament which is scheduled to run from May 28 to July 16.

The first of the seven Sunday online bracelet events will take place on June 2 and will run on consecutive Sundays till July 14. The two other bracelet events will take place on June 19 and July 3 which are both Wednesdays.

This will be the 5th consecutive year that the WSOP is hosting online bracelet events. During the past four years, the WSOP has given out a total of 9 gold bracelets. To celebrate its 50th edition, the WSOP is doubling that number of online bracelets.
