World Series of Poker Debuts Highly Anticipated 2021-2022 Circuit Schedule

The World Series of Poker® is thrilled to announce the return of the WSOP Circuit (WSOP-C), following an 18-month hiatus. The popular regional poker tour will return for its 17th season on Thanksgiving Day–Thursday, Nov. 25 at Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort in Cherokee, NC immediately following the conclusion of the 2021 World Series of Poker tournament in Las Vegas. Thirteen stops have been scheduled to date, with additional dates to be announced in the coming weeks.
The prestigious $1million freeroll will return featuring a new qualification format this season, refocused to make every event a pathway to win a highly coveted WSOP gold bracelet. Beginning with the Cherokee Circuit Event, any official gold ring winners, from either the live or online circuit events through July 2022, will qualify for the new invitation-only “Tournament of Champions” event during the 2022 World Series of Poker tournament in Las Vegas. 2022 online or live bracelet winners will also be eligible to compete in the new signature event.
“It’s been too long, so it’s great to see the Circuit hitting the road once again,” said Senior Vice President and Executive Director of the World Series of Poker, Ty Stewart. “The WSOP-C is one of our most important initiatives, allowing regional players to experience big-time poker and providing grinders a platform to earn a living. We’re pumped up about the new ‘Tournament of Champions’ format where all our winders will come together for one event. Just win and you’re in!”
While many venues will be familiar during the 2021-22 season, new stops have already been added, including:
- Isle Casino Racing Pompano Park, Pompano Beach, FL
- Turning Stone Resort & Casino, Verona, NY
- Deerfoot Inn and Casino, Calgary, Alberta Canada
The Bicycle Casino in Los Angeles will be WSOP-C’s second stop beginning on Thursday, Dec. 9 with the tour continuing virtually non-stop until the season-culminating stop at Harrah’s New Orleans on Thursday, May 5, 2022.
Most WSOP-C stops will begin on Thursdays, with the four-day Main Events beginning on the second Friday of the tournament. Each stop is encouraged to add Seniors and Ladies events, where the winners will qualify to participate in the “Tournament of Champions” in Las Vegas. WSOP-C events will be played using a Big Blind Ante format, offering the same expanded starting chips unveiled for the 2019-20 season. WSOP-C stops will feature standardized tournament structures and payouts, ensuring players traveling to multiple stops will be treated in a consistent manner at each event, barring any regulatory or local law differences. All stops will release their series’ event schedules upon approval by their local regulatory body, with the guarantee that every stop will offer at least a dozen official gold ring events starting at a $250 buy-in level and will include a $1,700 Main Event.
2022 WSOP Online Circuit events on WSOP.COM will be scheduled monthly following the year-end Championship with a $250,000 freeroll scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 28.

MGCB Reminds Gamblers to Bet Responsibly During Super Bowl

As Super Bowl LIX approaches, set to take place at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Sunday, February 9, the Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) has urged sports fans and bettors to practice responsible betting and wager only through authorized, legal sportsbook operators.
“Each year, the Super Bowl unites millions of fans, football lovers, and bettors around the world. As we come together to watch the game, let’s remember the importance of responsible betting to guarantee a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone involved,” MGCB Executive Director Henry Williams said.
These are a few important tips that the MGCB is giving for bettors to keep in mind:
• Set a Budget: Establish a betting budget that aligns with your financial situation. Set realistic limits on how much you’re willing to wager and stick to those limits throughout the game.
• Bet Responsibly: Remember, sports betting is a form of entertainment, not a surefire way to make money. Only wager what you can comfortably afford to lose, ensuring it doesn’t impact your financial well-being or other obligations.
• Know the Rules: Familiarize yourself with the rules of sports betting, the odds, and the types of bets available. Educating yourself helps you make informed decisions and reduce potential risks.
• Use Authorized Sportsbook Operators: Always bet through legal, licensed sportsbooks for a secure and fair experience. Unlicensed sites can expose you to risks like identity theft, lost deposits, or unpaid winnings.
