How to Register In-Person

The main registration area is located in the Champagne Ballroom, near the front end of the Paris Convention Center. This office opens on Tuesday, May 28 at 9:00 am, and will be open from 6:30am through 5am, daily through July 18th. Guests are required to present valid and unexpired photo identification, along with their Caesars Rewards card and payment to enter events.

All players are required to have a Caesars Rewards loyalty card to enter WSOP events. To obtain a card for new players or request a reprint of your card if you have previously signed up for one, players will visit the Caesars Rewards front desk located at the entrance of the Paris convention area. A valid photo identification, such as a state-issued driver's license or a country-issued passport is required for a Caesars Rewards card.

It is important to note, players who lost/forgot to bring their physical Caesars Rewards card with them to the WSOP, should request a re-print of their card and NOT obtain a new card. Caesars Rewards re-print kiosks will also be available throughout the property, allowing those that already have an account to quickly get a reprint of their physical card. Having this card with you will allow for a smoother process to register for an event, and cash out for any events when a payout is earned.

Methods of payment for the required buy-in(s) for WSOP events are as follows:
(1) cash
(2) credit/debit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express)
(3) cashier’s checks drawn from the registrant’s accredited bank account and made out to Participant or Paris Las Vegas Hotel and Casino
(4) Paris or Horseshoe gaming chips
(5) WSOP Tournament Account
Additional fees will be incurred on all credit/debit card and WSOP Tournament Account transactions. Participants using credit/debit cards must have a valid ID that matches the cardholder’s name present on the credit card used for the transaction.

How To Register Online

Online registration is an option again this year using Bravo Poker Live, the vendor who has supplied the WSOP registration and payout program software since 2016.

We encourage as many players as possible to utilize the online registration process to sign up for events. This will reserve your seat to an event and allow you to register and pay for WSOP events online. WSOP uses www.BravoPokerLive.com to manage online registrations. To register online, players will be required to visit the WSOP FasTrac online verification located in the Champagne Ballroom to verify their account. Once verified players can simply pick event(s) online via Bravo, utilize the self-service kiosks located throughout the Paris Convention Center to print their seat cards, and then go directly to their table. Approximately 80,000 entries in 2023 utilized the online registration system, about 23% of entries. Our goal is to continue growing this registration method each year and greatly ease in-person registration congestion. For those that register and send payment online, you will reduce time spent at Paris waiting in line.

It is important to note there are three ways to pay for your Online Registration Buy-Ins:

Credit Card – Accepted card payment types include Visa, MasterCard, American Express, & Discover. After registering, Participants must present the credit card used for registration payments along with a valid photo ID at the WSOP Verification Area. The name on the ID must match the name on the credit card and registration. Once a credit card has been verified for WSOP 2024, this same card can then be used for online registration until the end of the WSOP. Credit card registrations have a $10,000.00 maximum per event transaction.

WSOP Tournament Account – Participants must first setup their WSOP Tournament Account at the WSOP Main Cage in the Champagne Ballroom and place money on their account using cash or Paris/Horseshoe gaming chips. There is a $2,500 minimum deposit required to open a new WSOP Tournament Account.

Bravo TBIC – First time Bravo TBIC registration requires an in-person verification process. After registering, Participants must present a valid photo ID at the WSOP Verification area to complete this process.

**NEW FOR 2024** Participants that wish to pay for their Tournament registrations via a wire transfer or ACH will need to do so through Bravo TBIC. More information about this process can be found on the Bravo Poker Live website.

Fees: The payment required for participation in any Tournament event is the full amount of the event's entry fee, which includes an administrative fee to cover necessary Tournament staffing, materials and related administrative costs. There are additional fees applicable to online registration and the chosen method of payment. There will be a $3.00 processing fee added to each event transaction for using WSOP Tournament Account, the online registration system or if using a credit card to register in person. In addition, there will be a 2.95% fee for using Visa, MasterCard or Discover card to register, or a 3.95% fee for American Express. For international credit card transactions there will be a 3.50% fee, in addition to the $3 processing fee for each transaction. These are typical fees used in the payment processing industry for online transactions of this nature, imposed by the vendors and providers of these services. Participant is responsible for payment of the full registration amount and all applicable fees.

Refunds: Anyone who registers for an event online but chooses not to play may get a refund at the WSOP registration cage on-site in the Paris Convention Center up to the start time for the event. These registrations can also be canceled online 24 hours prior to the start time for the event. Participants, who don't end up travelling out to an event they online registered for, should email Andy Rich at arich@caesars.com to request the necessary paperwork to receive a refund. This request must be done in advance of the event's start time. Refunds will be issued to the original method of payment for the buy-in amount only. Any processing fees incurred for the transaction will not be refunded.

Step-by-Step Details of Online Registration:

The process online will be hosted on the secure and encrypted Bravo Poker Live website, at the following URL: https://www.bravopokerlive.com/venues/wsop/

Participants will be required to complete a one-time sign-up with Bravo Poker Live. This will save and password protect their registration information, enabling participants to have quick and easy return access for future events. This applies to both WSOP events and for other venues that work with Bravo Poker Tournament software. If you have previously registered for the WSOP or other events via Bravo Poker Live anytime between 2016 through 2024 you will already have an account and can just log-in. Please reach out to bplsupport@genesisgaming.com if you experience any issues with Bravo Poker Live.

Participants registering via Bravo Poker Live are also required to have a Caesars Rewards Card. Participants can register for and activate a Caesars Rewards Account at https://www.caesars.com/myrewards

Once the participant completes the online registration process for one or more events, they then must show up to the Paris Convention Champagne Ballroom. They must go through the WSOP FastTrac Online Verification process, which requires proof of identification to verify their identity and registration. This must be completed at least one hour prior to the start time of the event and only one time by the player. If the method of payment is a credit card, the participant must also present the credit card used for the online registration (this must be in the name of the registered player). Once verified, the participant will receive their seat assignments and receipts for all event(s) they have registered for and can proceed to their starting room, table, and seat at their leisure.

Kiosks to Print Seat Assignments: The WSOP is making greater use of technology allowing guests to print seat cards via one of many kiosks that will be placed throughout the WSOP footprint. This method only works for players who utilize the Online Registration System to select their events and fund them in advance and who have gone through in-person verification of their identification on-site once per WSOP.

Anyone using a kiosk will need to have their Caesars Rewards card on hand that was used for their online registration.

ADA accessible kiosks are available outside the Champagne Ballroom, and staff are available at those kiosks to provide additional assistance if needed.

WSOP Tournament Account: The free to set up WSOP Tournament Account, established in 2019, returns in 2024 with hopes this too receives greater utilization. Nearly 7,000 players set up a WSOP Tournament Account in 2023, including notable poker professional Daniel Negreanu.

“The WSOP Tournament Account is a no-brainer for anyone who plays more than a couple WSOP events annually,” said Negreanu. “Literally I went to the registration cage once to set it up, then utilized the self-serve kiosks the rest of the summer to register for any event I wanted to play. I was in and out of the kiosk in less than a minute and on my way to my seat.”

The WSOP Tournament Account works as follows: Players place money on their WSOP Tournament Account in person using cash or Paris/Horseshoe gaming chips. After a player initially sets up this account at the WSOP Main Cage in the Champagne Ballroom, the player will have the option to register online (via www.BravoPokerLive.com) for WSOP tournaments with these funds and simply print seat card(s) at one of the kiosks – avoiding the need to use the registration line to enter events. Players can also deposit tournament winnings into their WSOP Tournament Account to use for registrations. Any WSOP Tournament Account funds remaining at the end of the event will be returned to the player in the same fashion in which they were originally deposited.
