WSOP+ App goes Live at the Series
Introducing for the very first time, the long-awaited WSOP+ app made its official debut on the first day of the WSOP, May 27 at Horseshoe and Paris.
The new WSOP+ app is set to revolutionize the way players engage with the World Series of Poker. With WSOP+, participants can register and buy into their favorite live events in advance, skipping the long lines often seen at the registration cage before tournament start times.
But that's just the beginning. The app also features a virtual waiting list and paging system, sending push notifications when a player's seat is ready. That means no more standing in late registration lines. Players are placed into a virtual queue, in order, and can relax until it's time to take their seat.
WSOP+ goes beyond registration, too. It serves as a central hub for everything players need to navigate the series, including the full WSOP schedule, structure sheets, rules, chip counts, daily results, seat assignments, payout info, and more - all in one easy-to-use platform.
Players planning to attend the WSOP in Las Vegas this summer should first visit wsop.com/registration to review the process. Then, download the WSOP+ app for iOS or Android at WSOPPlus.com. For the best experience, all 2025 WSOP participants are encouraged to bring a compatible smartphone to take full advantage of everything WSOP+ has to offer.
WSOP+ Payment Options
Players using the WSOP+ app to purchase tournament entries online will have access to a variety of convenient payment methods this summer, including:
- ACH (U.S. participants only)
- Credit Cards
- PayPal
- Luxon Pay (Non-U.S. participants only)
- WSOP Online Qualifiers
- Paris Tournament Account (funded in person at the WSOP cage)
There are no fees when purchasing tournament tickets via ACH, PayPal, Luxon Pay, or a Paris Tournament Account. Please note: Credit card transactions are subject to a 3% processing fee.

In 2024, Tamayo outlasted a record-shattering field of 10,112 players, the biggest Main Event lineup in WSOP history, to claim poker's most coveted bracelet and a cool $10,000,000 payday!
