2024 World Series of Poker May 28th to July 17th ***No Spoilers***

No senior events at MGM for summer 2024 🤔

I googled it and there’s a third page to the schedule that has some senior events.

6/28 Friday, Part of the MoneyMaker tour at the end is an Older than Money Maker (who is 48) $400 buyin event.
If you search the various schedules you can find a Senior or Super Senior event starting each day from June 17th thru June 28th (except the 25th).

Can I fund my WSOP+ app account using cash when I get there? And if so how? Or do I have to use the Luxon pay option?

Paris(WSOP) will accept Cash, Casino Chips or a PRE APPROVED Cashiers Check.

Isn’t every cashiers check “approved?” That’s sort of the point of a cashiers check, right?

Caesars has what I believe is a verification process which is why I use the word approved. See the emails I have received below.

The credit area gives some additional details but anyone that wants to utilize that option should take the time to confirm those directly with CZR Credit. I don't want to assume they are absolutely identical for everyone even though I believe they are.

Personally when I deal with any monetary issue of this nature I am EXTREMELY specific and detailed so that in the rare situation that when I get to LV and someone gives me any type of grief I can provide documents that I have followed the instructions I was given. The last thing in the world I want to mess with on my arrival is a money snafu.

Hope this helps.

Hello XXX,  

We are sorry for any inconvenience this my cause. Paris Las Vegas Operating Company, LLC will no longer accept wire transfers. However, you can do a cashier's check in advance. When doing a cashier's check before your arrival in Las Vegas, email a copy of the check to our credit department for verification. The credit department email is [email]CZRCredit@Caesars.com[/email] and it must include your first and last name, Caesars Reward Number, and state that it is going to be used at the Paris Las Vegas for WSOP. If you use a cashier's check and send it to our credit department ahead it would save a few days before you come. You will still need to bring the original check with you to the Paris cashier cage in the Convention Center.

Thanks again

Ok I finally was approved for the Wyndham Earners Business Card, should get it in a week or so. There were some hoops to jump through lol.

So now what do I do to get the Diamond Match on Caesars?

Log in to your Caesars Rewards account and scroll to bottom to click on Rewards Match. Select Wyndham and you'll enter your Wyndham Rewards number. It took a couple days.

Cool thanks! I just realized I have to wait until Wyndham upgrades me to Diamond on their end. I'm currently just Blue, the lowest level, no points lol, they said it could take 2-8 weeks just to get their Diamond upgrade, hopefully it's not that long or I'll have to call and try to get it done sooner.

How long did it take for anyone else to get Diamond upgrade on the Wyndham side first?

I think it took only a day or two for me on their side. Shouldn’t be long at all and calling usually gets things done.

You’ll get Wyndham diamond in a day or so. The match to Caesars takes longer. Many of us had zero luck getting it to work when trying to initiate the match via Wyndham. A link has been posted a couple of times that WILL work. It initiates the match from Caesars end rather than Wyndham’s. It will take about two weeks to go through. I never got any notification that it had worked. I just logged into Caesars one day and I was diamond.

Im going to be in Vegas for 2 nights during June in the middle of WSOP. I wont have time to play any tournaments because im with the gf, but if I have a late night off after shes been tucked to bed, what would be the best place to play some nightly PLO cash during the series?

If you're diamond I would stick to the wsop games because you can go to the top of the list. The cash game lists get insane depending on how late you're planning to start playing.

really depends on the hours. if you start super early or super late i'd go to Aria or Wynn. But as the other poster said the lines get horrendous for a lot of the day so skipping the lines at WSOP is nice. The downside is the dealers are mostly awful and with double board bomp pots and people running it twice with a bad dealer you don't get many hands in. For 2 nights it's tolerable, if I had to do that every day for a few weeks I'd lose my mind.

So where do I physically take cash to load the WSOP+ app?

Not sure if this has been covered elsewhere so I'll throw it here anyway. There's a simple new way to electronically pay for WSOP tournaments this year by funding your Bravo account with a service called PayFiniti. It's ACH, so you link your bank account to the app, transfer funds in, and pay for your tournaments that way. Sounds like a great way to avoid the 2.95 percent fee Bravo whacks you with to pay with a credit card...right? Nope.

Payfiniti and Bravo won't tell you until you've created a new Payfiniti account and tried to fund it, but there's a 2.5 percent fee for deposits from your bank into the app.

That's ridiculous. You can sort of justify the fee for credit cards because Bravo gets charged by the credit card companies. But 2.5 percent for ACH? Absurd. Payfiniti is entitled to a profit, of course, but it should be a flat fee that is meaningfully less expensive than using a credit card. It was going to cost me $47.25 (including the $3 add-on WSOP fee) to register for the Milly Maker with a credit card. Doing so with Payfinit would cost me $40.50, including the $3 add-on WSOP fee.

Not sure if it's different for international players, but Payfiniti is not a worthwhile option for Americans unless you don't have a credit card, or are going to spend enough on entry fees this summer that the .45 percent savings to use the app makes it worth the pain in the ass of funding it. I'm planning on spending a modest $4k or so on entry fees this summer (I play more cash than tournaments), which would save me a staggering $18 if I used Payfiniti rather than my credit card. The 1.5 percent cash back I get on my credit card makes paying that way a much better deal than Payfiniti .

Hard pass on Payfiniti.

You can deposit cash at the WSOP cage into your TBIC account for free, not sure why people mess with all these other gouge-services.

It's because paying with cash means traveling with cash, and that brings no small number of risks.

Doyle did it!

Thanks for the replies guys! Im guessing Bravo is the go to place to see the lists at the various casinos?
