CoinPoker has launched the World Poker Masters, a $25,000,000 guaranteed online festival running 3 May to 1 June 2026. The centrepiece is a $530 Main Event with $2.5M GTD, backed by four more $1,000,000-guaranteed tournaments and a $500,000 leaderboard pool.
Warm-Up satellites opened on 26 April with buy-ins from $0.10. Players have until 2 May to grind into the main schedule before the first WPM events fire on 3 May.
This is CoinPoker’s biggest series to date. The full CoinPoker tournament schedule now spans 59 trophy-awarding events across NLH, PLO, 5-Card PLO, and 6-Card PLO, with direct buy-ins from $15 to $25,500.
World Poker Masters Schedule and Key Events
The festival unfolds over four weeks. Main Event Day 1 flights run every Sunday (3, 10, 17, 24, and 31 May), funnelling into a single Day 2 on Monday 1 June at 17:30 UTC.
The Mini Main follows a similar multi-flight model with daily Day 1s (except Fridays) feeding into the same final day.
Main Event and Mini Main
The $530 Main Event ($2.5M GTD) is the largest guarantee CoinPoker has ever offered. Five Day 1 flights give players up to five shots at building a stack, with the best chip count carrying forward to Day 2.
The $55 Mini Main ($500K GTD) targets lower bankrolls with the same multi-flight structure. Both tournaments play down to a winner on 1 June.
CoinMillion and High Rollers
Four more events carry $1,000,000 guarantees each, spread across three buy-in levels.
| Event | Buy-in | Guarantee | Schedule |
|---|---|---|---|
| WPM Main Event | $530 | $2,500,000 | Day 1A-E Sundays, Day 2 June 1 |
| WPM Mini Main | $55 | $500,000 | Day 1 daily (excl. Fri), Day 2 June 1 |
| CoinMillion | $215 | $1,000,000 | Debuts Sunday 10 May |
| CoinMasters BITCOIN HR | $1,500 | $1,000,000 | Day 1s May 10/17/24, Day 2 May 25 |
| WPM High Roller | $5,200 | $1,000,000 | Day 1A/1B, Day 2 May 11 |
| Super High Roller | $25,500 | $1,000,000 | One-day, 11 May |
The CoinMillion at $215 for $1M GTD is the value pick of the festival. At that buy-in, the maths on a 4,650-entry equivalent is generous. It lands on the same Sunday as Main Event Day 1B, giving players a natural double-entry day.
The high-roller block on 11 May is the single biggest day of the series: a $5,200 and a $25,500 back to back, both with $1M guarantees. Bubble protection applies to early registrants who bust on the bubble, with an automatic buy-in refund.
$500,000 Leaderboard Structure
CoinPoker has split the $500K leaderboard pool into two parallel systems. Payouts settle in USDT within 24 hours of each period closing, one of several perks covered in our full CoinPoker review and rakeback breakdown.
WPM Leaderboards ($425,000)
The bulk of the pool runs across four weekly periods, each divided into a High Tier ($109 to $530 buy-ins) and a Low Tier ($15 to $88 buy-ins). Weeks 1 to 3 pay $100,000 each. The extended Week 4 pays $125,000.
Weekly top prizes reach $12,500 in the High Tier and $2,500 in the Low Tier. Payouts run 50 deep on the High side and 80 deep on the Low side, rewarding consistent volume rather than single hot runs.
Champions Leaderboard ($75,000)
A single $75,000 race spans the full 3 May to 1 June window for buy-ins between $15 and $530. Only the top five cash out: $30,000, $18,000, $12,000, $8,500, and $6,500.
Points are awarded only to players who finish in the money. Satellites and freerolls do not count. Tiebreaks resolve on total buy-ins played, meaning volume across both tiers matters.
Worth noting: the Low Tier leaderboard pays 80 spots weekly at buy-ins starting from $15. Combined with $0.10 satellite entries, the WPM is accessible at almost any bankroll level.
How to Qualify from $0.10
Satellite ladders feed every flagship event from the micro-stakes up. Mini Main steps start at $0.10 to $0.30, CoinMillion steps from $0.20 (with $25 direct-seat satellites), and Main Event steps from around $0.50 to $0.55.
Standard, Turbo, and Hyper formats all run. Feeders for each main tournament are listed in that event’s lobby under the Satellites tab.
The Warm-Up Stage (26 April to 2 May) is the prime window for building a seat package before the festival opens. For players new to qualifying routes, our satellite tournament strategy guide covers the key adjustments for playing to win a seat rather than to finish first.
Trophy Cabinet and Meet the Masters
The WPM introduces CoinPoker’s Trophy Cabinet, a new section in the Career tab of the app. All 59 WPM events award both a digital trophy displayed on a player’s profile and a physical trophy shipped worldwide to the winner.
The Main Event champion receives a one-of-a-kind physical trophy alongside the digital version. CoinPoker has confirmed the Trophy Cabinet will carry forward into future series, turning it into a permanent achievement record.
Four ambassadors front the series as “Meet the Masters” hosts, with dedicated profiles in the CoinPoker lobby: Benjamin “Bencb” Rolle (reigning 2025 WSOP Online Main Event champion), Patrick “Pads” Leonard, Mario Mosboeck (three-time Triton Series champion), and Alejandro “Papo MC” Lococo ($15.9M+ in live earnings).
US-based ambassadors including Nik Airball, Jean-Robert Bellande, Faraz Jaka, Brantzen Wong, and Abby Merk round out the roster. Streamer Bobby James is broadcasting WPM action live on YouTube throughout the series.
Platform Details for New Players
CoinPoker accepts USDT, USDC, BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB, POL, and TRX for deposits, alongside Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Luxon Pay. Balances and prizes settle in USDT.
Registration requires only an email address and password. CoinPoker operates as a no-KYC platform by default, though verification can be triggered for high-value transactions at the operator’s discretion.
The room is one of the few crypto poker rooms open to US players in practice. Several of CoinPoker’s ambassadors are US-based, and American players report unrestricted access as of April 2026.
