CoinPoker launches its first-ever multi-day tournaments on Sunday, March 22, with three Level Up Series Main Events at $15, $55, and $215 buy-ins. All three run with 100% of tournament fees returned as rakeback through March 31.
The Main Events cap a 23-day Level Up Series that has been running since March 8 on a platform that was rebuilt from scratch on March 2. It is the first time CoinPoker has offered a tournament format spanning more than one day.
Day 1 Qualifier flights run Sunday, with surviving players carrying their chip stacks into a combined Day 2 final on Monday, March 23.
CoinPoker has not published fixed guarantees for the Main Events. The series uses a dynamic model where the team reviews participation daily and adjusts prize pools based on demand. Guarantees are visible only in the client lobby under the “LUS” tag, so check there before registering.
How CoinPoker’s Multi-Day Format Works
The multi-day structure splits each Main Event into two stages that play out over consecutive days.
Day 1 runs multiple Qualifier flights on Sunday. Each Qualifier plays through a set number of blind levels, and players who survive the final level advance to Day 2 with their chip stack intact.
Anyone who busts can re-enter by joining a later Qualifier flight on the same day. That gives players multiple shots at building a Day 2 stack.
If a player qualifies through more than one flight, only their highest surviving stack carries forward. That rewards aggressive play in early flights: take a shot at building a big stack knowing you can try again later without losing your seat.
Day 2 on Monday combines every surviving player from all Qualifier flights into a single field that plays down to a winner. The multi-flight structure feeds a larger combined pool into Day 2, which means bigger payouts than a standard single-day event at the same buy-in.
| Tier | Buy-In | Day 1 (Qualifiers) | Day 2 (Final) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low | $15 | Sunday, March 22 | Monday, March 23 |
| Mid | $55 | Sunday, March 22 | Monday, March 23 |
| High | $215 | Sunday, March 22 | Monday, March 23 |
All three tiers follow the same format. Events run within the 12:00 to 21:30 UTC daily window, with exact start times for each tier available in the CoinPoker tournament lobby.
100% Rakeback on Every Main Event Entry
The Main Events fall under the second stage of CoinPoker’s month-long 100% rakeback promotion, which runs from March 16 through March 31. Every dollar of tournament fees paid during this window is returned to your account.
Stage 2 returns tournament fees as promotional dollars (P$), credited the following morning from 7:00 UTC. P$ work like real money for MTT buy-ins, cash games, and other play on the platform. No wagering requirements, no restrictions on use.
For players entering multiple Qualifier flights across all three tiers, the returned fees add up quickly. It is effectively rake-free tournament poker through the end of the month.
Stage 1 vs Stage 2: The first two weeks of March returned rakeback in withdrawable USDT. Stage 2 uses P$ instead, but there is no practical difference for players who plan to keep playing. Your fees come back either way.
New Features That Change How Finals Play Out
CoinPoker’s March 2 platform rebuild introduced several tournament features that will be active during the Main Events. Three are worth knowing about before you register.
- Bubble Protection: If you bust on the exact money bubble, CoinPoker refunds your full buy-in. Applies to players who registered early and used cash or a satellite ticket, not late registration.
- Blind Rollback: At final tables in tournaments with 100+ entries, if the average stack drops below 40 big blinds, blinds automatically reduce to restore playable depth. No more push-fold final tables.
- Final Table Deals: An integrated deal-making tool lets remaining players split the prize pool based on current chip counts directly through the client. No third-party calculators needed.
Blind Rollback is the one to pay attention to. In a multi-day format where Day 2 combines players from multiple flights, stack sizes can vary wildly when the final table forms. The 40BB floor means the short stacks still have room to play real poker rather than shove and pray.
VIP-Grinders Exclusive: Sign up for CoinPoker through our exclusive VIPCOIN promo code to lock in a welcome bonus on top of the 100% rakeback. The rakeback promotion runs for all players through March 31, but the promo code adds extra value from day one.
Ambassador Wins and a Mystery Signing
The Level Up Series already has its first marquee result. Ambassador Papo MC took down the $150 Sunday Special for $9,142 on March 16 during an 11-hour streaming session. He final-tabled a GGPoker High Roller on the same day, giving CoinPoker some useful cross-platform visibility.
2023 WSOP Online Main Event champion Bert “GirafGanger7” Stevens also joined the roster earlier this month. The Belgian MTT specialist returned to Twitch after a nine-month hiatus to stream CoinPoker sessions, having beaten a 6,022-player field for $2.78 million in his WSOP Online win.
CoinPoker has been teasing one more signing: a mystery ambassador described as “one of the most famous personalities in the poker world.” No name has been revealed as of March 20. If the announcement lands before the Main Events, it could pull additional traffic to the Sunday Qualifiers.
