At this stage the prizes are very interesting for the players. Over the 29 tournaments to be played, R$ 6 million (US$ 1.15m) are guaranteed as prize money for the event, including R$ 2.2 million (US$ 420k) for the Main Event (main tournament of each stage) and R$ 1 million (US$ 190k) for the High Rollers (event with the highest registration value of the stage).

The Brazilian Poker Championship has attracted famous players to compete in its stages. Former player Edmundo, rapper ‘Gabriel o Pensador’, actress Cláudia Rodrigues and comedian Carioca were some of the BSOP participants in last season's editions in 2022.
The WTC Sheraton has been the main venue for national poker in Brazil. In addition to the traditional São Paulo stage at the beginning of the year, it also hosts the two main events of the Brazilian Poker Championship: the BSOP Winter Millions, in July; and the BSOP Millions, the biggest poker tournament in Latin America, in November - which in 2022 edition distributed more than R$ 46 million (US$ 8.8m) in prize money, a record amount.
