Last Updated: 12/05/2026

CoinPoker has officially launched the World Poker Masters with a total series guarantee of $25,000,000 (~£19,900,000). Week one has now finished, with the biggest stages of the crypto poker schedule still to come.

The online poker tournaments series now moves toward POWERJAM, Gold Weeks and a $1,000,000 (~£796,000) CoinMasters event. As Esports News UK recently covered in our report on the original World Poker Masters announcement, this is one of CoinPoker’s biggest competitive pushes to date.

CoinPoker World Poker Masters game formats

The World Poker Masters is built around the formats already familiar to regular CoinPoker players. That gives the series a broad enough spread for both standard MTT grinders and specialist crypto poker regulars.

• No-Limit Hold’em: The core format across the series, with the widest range of buy-ins and field sizes.
• Pot-Limit Omaha: A major part of the schedule, aimed at players looking for bigger draw-heavy spots and deeper post-flop play.
• 5-Card Omaha: Included on the wider platform offering and relevant to players tracking mixed online poker tournaments during the series period.
• Satellite events: Lower-cost routes into headline tournaments for players managing smaller bankrolls.

That matters because CoinPoker has increasingly positioned its schedule around broad access rather than only high-roller entry points. As Esports News UK recently covered in our coverage on the CGWC Challenger edition, that wider competitive ladder has become a recurring theme.

World Poker Masters prize pools and rewards

The headline number is the $25,000,000 (~£19,900,000) total guarantee across the full World Poker Masters series. CoinPoker is also using multiple entry points and reward layers rather than loading all value into one final.

• Total series guarantee: $25,000,000 (~£19,900,000) across the full run of events.
• CoinMasters event: $1,000,000 (~£796,000) guaranteed for one of the marquee tournaments still ahead.
• POWERJAM: According to the CoinPoker World Poker Masters page, this phase will spotlight major high-stakes events.
• Gold Weeks: A later section of the schedule built around more featured events and additional guaranteed poker prize pools.
• Satellites: Smaller buy-in feeders are available, giving players lower-cost access to headline tournaments.

What has not been publicly detailed is the full event-by-event payout structure for every remaining tournament. The broad framework is clear, but some prize distribution specifics still sit at schedule level rather than in one consolidated breakdown.

CoinPoker platform context and how to enter

CoinPoker is a crypto poker platform that uses blockchain-backed systems, including a decentralised random number generator, to verify game integrity. It supports cryptocurrencies including BTC, ETH and USDT, with near-instant withdrawals highlighted as a core platform feature.

According to the platform’s security overview, CoinPoker also uses proof-based verification systems and independent auditing for game fairness. That distinguishes it from more traditional poker rooms that rely on closed back-end systems.

Players can enter the World Poker Masters through the CoinPoker app or directly in a web browser. Satellite routes are available for smaller bankrolls, while direct buy-ins remain open for players targeting the biggest crypto prize pools.

CoinPoker has been leaning hard into this championship model for months. As Esports News UK recently covered in our report on the Heads-Up World Championship, the platform has kept building a connected ecosystem of high-stakes poker events.

Next up, attention shifts to POWERJAM, Gold Weeks and the seven-figure CoinMasters centrepiece. With week one complete, the biggest World Poker Masters moments are still ahead.
