How to get over $10,000 in travel expenses for WSOP Paradise for free!

The only catch is you need quite a bit of money in the first place,,,,

A quick look at the schedule will show to that WSOP Paradise is not going to be a cheap affair. The lowest buy-in is $2,500 and the biggest buy-in is $1 million. Plus there is that gargantuan $25,000 Main Event with a record $50 million guarantee

But, if you are of the High Roller persuasion, there is an incredible amount of added value to be gleaned for getting there early. 

Any live professional will tell you that the travel expenses can be your downfall, but that is not the case at WSOP Paradise. You can get the following for free:

  • 14 suited room nights between December 5-19 (Value over $10,000)
  • A ticket to a $1 million invitational freeroll on December 18
  • Complimentary lunch and dinner
  • Players lounge access
  • Airport pickup

The catch? It will cost you $100,000.

A no-brainer for those that can afford it

This promotion is designed to get players to commit to playing several events on the WSOP Paradise schedule, so they want you to wire $100,000 before you arrive. This will include $25,000 for the Super Main Event and $75,000 credit to play in other events while you are there. 

It requires you to deposit $10,000 by September 30 and the remaining $90,000 by November 15. 

Obviously this is too rich for the blood of most players, but if you are a serious tournament pro who was going anyway, it's a no-brainer. From GGPoker, it's a very smart way to get players to commit to the whole festival and not just hop on a plane for the Main Event. 

However, don't despair. If you are a lower stakes grinder we think that the GGPoker satellites will be tremendous value for this event. With a $50 million guarantee, there is going to be an overlay somewhere in this festival, and we think the smart money will be on the overlay happening in the satellites. So get signed up to GGPoker now to wait for those satellites to hit the lobby.

Is it worth transferring $100,000 for these perks? Let us know in the comments:
