Multi-state poker can’t come soon enough, with turnout to events much lower than anticipated. The domestic portion of the WSOP US Online 2022 bracelet series New Jersey and Nevada sharing the same player pool is off to a slow start. The online festival kicked off on September 10 and encompasses 33 bracelets taking place over a period of six weeks with events running nearly every day.
This is the second time the operator has run online bracelets for the US players this year — it previously ran one over the summer alongside the live series. That produced over $13 million in total prize money spread over 13 events, averaging just over $1 million per event.
The ongoing online-only series has been comparatively quiet in turnout. So far, nine bracelets have concluded; a quick glance at the tournament lobby suggests that the participation is much lower than what it usually gets . In fact, none of the events have exceeded $400,000 in prize money and the prize pools are averaging around $300k — three times lower than what these events achieved during the summer online bracelet series.
The comparison isn’t apples-to-apples: usually traffic peaks during the summer period and declines in September in the US markets, particularly for WSOP which attracts thousands of domestic and international players to Nevada during the live series.
Even so, the operator will be disappointed with the participation levels so far. WSOP 2022 Online Bracelet Series Turnout in NJ/NV
