Poker players heading to the Bahamas next month for World Series of Poker Paradise (WSOPP) can skip the lines and avoid fees by buying in using Solana Pay.
Solana is the presenting sponsor of the upcoming WSOP Paradise festival, taking place at the luxurious Baha Mar resort Dec. 3-14 and also sponsored the 2026 WSOP in Las Vegas earlier this year.
Now, the popular blockchain platform is bringing convenience to the Bahamas with a cheap and easy way to buy into events, including the $26,000 Super Main Event that has a $50 million guarantee.

Pay With Crypto as WSOP Paradise
For recreational players and professionals alike, especially those planning on firing multiple bullets, avoiding registration or credit card fees can mean saving hundreds of dollars. It can also mean saving hours of time by skipping crowded registration lines.
Buying into events with Solana Pay is a simple task and takes only a half-dozen steps.
First, download the WSOP Live app — which is available for both iOs and Android devices. Next, create an account and find the “2026 WSOP Paradise tab.”
After that, select the event you want to buy into and tap “Register” in the top right corner. Acknowledge the terms and conditions and then purchase your tournament ticket, choosing Cypto Solana as the payment method.
Finally, connect a compatible crypto wallet, or send the funds manually by copying the receiving wallet address.
Solana was first integrated into the WSOP earlier this year in a first-of-its-kind collaboration that saw the WSOP Foundation serving as the presenting sponsor of the 2026 WSOP. Additionally, 2006 WSOP Main Event champion Jamie Gold hosted a Solana Freeroll featuring a handful of crypto influencers and content creators.
Players in Las Vegas this summer were able to buy into events using Solana and the WSOP Live app and will now be able to do so down south in the Bahamas.
WSOP Paradise will get underway on Dec. 2 with the $2,750 WSOP Circuit Championship Mystery Bounty with a $5 million guarantee, while other highlights on the schedule include the $10 million guaranteed $10,000 NLH GGMillion$ Championship, the $5 million guaranteed $100,000 PLO Super High Roller and the $10 million guaranteed $250,000 WSOP Pro-Am, a unique event pairing pros against amateurs.
The $26,000 Super Main Event will get underway on Dec. 10 with the first of four starting flights. Last year’s Super Main Event saw Austrian pro Bernhard Binder defeating Frenchman Jean-Noel Thorel to win $10 million.
