Bracelet
The gold bracelet awarded to the winner of every World Series of Poker event — the most coveted trophy in the game. Bracelets are also awarded at WSOP Europe, WSOP Paradise and in WSOP Online series, which is why bracelet counts have grown quickly since 2020.
Frequently asked questions
What is a WSOP bracelet?
The trophy given to the winner of every World Series of Poker event — not just the Main Event. It is the sport's most recognised prize, and bracelet counts are the standard shorthand for a career.
How many bracelets are awarded?
Far more than in the early years: the modern series runs upwards of a hundred events across its live schedule, with further bracelets awarded online and at the series' international editions. That growth is why comparing counts across eras is unreliable.
Why do players value a bracelet over the money?
Because the money is spent and the record is permanent. Players regularly describe a bracelet as the career goal, and several have entered events specifically for the chance at one rather than for the expected value.
