Some have a difference of opinion with WSOP Online bracelet wins

WSOP officials announced on Monday the 2020 World Series of Poker would take place exclusively online. While some people feel winning a bracelet online diminishes the value of the bracelet there are others who feel winning a bracelet online has just as much value as a live win.

Does the WSOP online bracelet series water down the prestige of winning a bracelet?

No, id still be happy to win one online but that I would get the chance
In this current climate, I could not see any other way but online, The twitter user was right with it should have more than no-limit though..

I think a win is a win,no matter where you are sitting,be it 1000 miles away,,, :ciao: (Lovin the New pic Shells!):flowers:

Thanks, Terry.

Winning online will never be as prestigious as live, its just not the same.. im hoping its not a rebuy and re-entry fest tho.

I think the value of the bracelet online won 't be the same as live. Because many more people don 't trust 100% online. This distrust of both players who can enjoy all kinds of "tricks" and not trust in poker sites. Yet the game live is more transparent and the poker classic.

If I played one of these games and just happened to win a bracelet, you bet it will mean as much to me. These are unusual times and if wsop is going to make money on their yearly tournament, they had to amend it.

This leads me to wonder, those who believe there is no value in the series bracelets does that mean there is no value in the series?

I don't think the WSOP loses prestige for being played online.
I would love to participate online.
A dream would come true.
Especially if I could win tickets with satellites.

If it is a professional player who is dedicated to live tournaments, it weakens him. But if it is a professional who is dedicated to online gaming, it seems to me that there is no change, in fact, it is better for him.

Ofcourse it's not the same thing , playing WSOP live and now online for the first time , due to this corona virus crisis . You cannot compare the live experience and game fun , with the online games . I do not know what the prizes will be , I don't think they would be the same or close to the ones that were played live the previous years , won't they ??

Also I do not like that they chose GG poker and WSOP.com onlne poker room poker , but maybe they couldn't do sth else. WSOP.com online is available in the US in two states , and both of them do not welcome players from most countries . On the other hand ACR operates in so many countries . I do not think US goverment would say sth for legislation reasons , these corona virus days they pretend they do not see some things going around , enough pressure andstress evveryone has due to isolation . I do not think they would cause any problems to ACR , people want to play online poker these days , gamble on poker and casinos online

Anyway , if the prizepools are very big , pros and everyone else , wil go to countries or states were these two poker rooms operate , and they will participate in this WSOP special online edition , lol
