Ten of the new online events are open to residents of New Jersey and Nevada playing on the WSOP.com platform. The other event will be open to residents of Pennsylvania playing on the WSOP.com platform.

The first event on the schedule, open to New Jersey and Nevada is a $5,300 No-Limit Hold’em Freezeout tournament on Sunday, October 3. That is one of the more expensive events on the online schedule. There are also several cheaper options including the $500 No-Limit Hold’em BIG 500, which also takes place on October 3 and the $400 No-Limit Hold’em Ultra DeepStack on October 10.

The most popular online events will likely end up being the Online Championship and the Mini Main Event. The Online Championship has a $1,000 buy-in and will be played on October 24, while the Mini Main Event also has a $1,000 buy-in and is scheduled for November 21.
