WCOOP 2021 is starting today
PokerStars biggest tournament series of the year is starting with the WCOOP Kickoff events this afternoon, with $100 million in prizes given away until September 15.
The World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) at PokerStars will see its 20th edition this year and weeks of anticipation are now coming to a close, with WCOOP returning with the largest guarantee the series has ever offered.
This year's edition will take the prize pools awarded to WCOOP players over the years to over $1 billion, similar to the Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) earlier this year.
Additionally, we will see the introduction of newly designed WCOOP trophies for the series' winners, with two types up for grabs: one for the Main Event winners and the overall Player of the Series, and a second one for all High, Medium and Low event winners as well as the High, Medium, and Low Player of the Series champions.
Full customisable schedule for WCOOP 2021
Running from August 22 to September 15, the series boosts a massive $100 million guaranteed across the 102-event schedule with Low, Medium, and High buy-in levels from only $5.50 all the way up to $25,000.
As usual, the biggest highlight will be coming in the form of the WCOOP Main Events, this time around with a total of six starting on September 12 and guaranteeing over $16 million in prize money alone:

After running our ever popular Task List raffle for years, bringing prizes of up to $300 to our active members on a weekly basis, we're mixing things up again for a couple of weeks.
With WCOOP starting on August 22, PokerStars has opted to take over for a while, rewarding PokerStrategists with brand-new weekly prizes as well as putting out new tasks that go along with that.
As before, tickets for the weekly raffle are earned by completing various tasks on our website or partner rooms throughout each week, with the new exclusive tasks at PokerStars added, and the following prizes up for grabs this first week:
| Rank | Prize |
|---|---|
| 1-3 | $215 Ticket for WCOOP 34-L with $1.25M GTD on Aug 29 |
| 4-10 | $55/$5.50 Ticket for WCOOP 33-L/M with $250K/50K GTD on Aug 29 |
| Ticket prizes will change every week. | |
You are able to take part in the raffle without a tracked PokerStars account by earning tickets through our standard tasks, but keep in mind, you're massively increasing your chances to win if your PokerStars account is tracked through us since you'll earn a multitude of additional tickets every week.
