Players have a chance to earn up to $250,000 in extra cash during the big game
The World Series of Poker (WSOP) is adding even more excitement to its 2025 WSOP Paradise stop in the Bahamas with a new “Paradise Parlay” bonus program. The promotion gives top-performing players from the year an opportunity to earn up to $250,000 in extra cash during the $25,000 buy-in Super Main Event, which carries a massive $60 million guarantee at Atlantis Paradise Island this December.
Under the new system, players who qualify for the promotion and cash in the Super Main Event will receive a $25,000 bonus. Those who reach the final table will see that bonus rise to $100,000, while anyone who wins the event outright will collect a quarter-million-dollar top prize in addition to regular tournament earnings. WSOP officials say the promotion could inject millions of dollars in added value into the player pool.
To qualify for the Paradise Parlay, players must have met specific benchmarks during the 2025 season. Eligibility goes to anyone who has cashed in seven or more WSOP bracelet events in Las Vegas, cashed in the WSOP Main Event, or captured a WSOP bracelet from any series this year, including WSOP Europe or WSOP Online. The goal, according to WSOP organizers, is to reward the game’s most consistent performers and give them a strong reason to close out the year in style.
About 2,000 players are expected to qualify for the program, which ties into WSOP’s ongoing efforts to expand the Paradise brand. Additional incentives include a $5,000 Luxon Pay bonus for first-time Paradise participants meeting certain buy-in thresholds and PokerStake’s commitment to back Circuit ring winners heading to the event.
The Paradise Parlay prizes are non-cumulative, meaning players receive only the highest bonus they achieve. WSOP hopes the new feature will add more excitement and competitive fire to what’s shaping up to be one of the biggest poker festivals of the year.
