The World Series of Poker Circuit is a series of poker tournaments held annually at a variety of casinos since 2005 as a build-up to the World Series of Poker (WSOP).
All Championship events are competed in no limit Texas hold 'em; preliminary events may be different poker variants.
Starting with the 2011 WSOP Circuit, the WSOP Circuit National Championship was held as a closed event for participants of various circuit events.
In 2015, the WSOP International Circuit was launched, with rounds in Canada, Latin America, the Caribbean, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Africa. The WSOP Circuit National Championship was replaced by the WSOP Global Casino Championship, featuring the winners from both WSOP Circuit and WSOP International Circuit. The International Circuit has expanded to 13 tournaments for the 2017/18 season.

WSOP Circuit National Championship/ Global Poker Championship
Starting in 2012, qualification for the Circuit National Championship was significantly changed. A total of 100 players now receive automatic seats in the National Championship. The winners of each Circuit main event and the highest point earner at each circuit stop receive seats, with the remaining automatic seats filled by the top points earners throughout the Circuit season who are not already qualified. Additionally, the top 100 players in the "WSOP World Rankings", a points race determined on results in open events of the previous two WSOPs, are eligible to enter. The Circuit qualifiers play the National Championship on a freeroll, while the WSOP World Rankings qualifiers must pay a $10,000 buy-in.
The winner of the Circuit National Championship wins a World Series of Poker bracelet.
In 2016, the WSOP National Championship was renamed to the Global Poker Championship.

This is the 4th season of the WSOP International Circuit. Over the past three years, the International Circuit has traveled from Morocco to Australia, Argentina to Russia, and virtually everywhere in between.
As has become tradition, the Circuit season will culminate with the Global Casino Championship, a special invitation-only event which has a minimum prizepool of $1,000,000. Players at International Circuit stops can earn a free seat into the Global Casino Championship in two ways: 1) win the Main Event at a Circuit stop, or 2) win the title of Casino Champion by earning the most points in official ring events at any Circuit stop. In addition, any players who finish in the top 100 in the Player of the Year race at the WSOP has the option to buy in for $10,000 (rake free).
At the Global Casino Championship, players from the International Circuit will join qualifiers from the US domestic Circuit to compete for the $1,000,000-mininum prizepool and a WSOP gold bracelet.
