Bencb Net Worth 2026: Benjamin “Bencb” Rolle’s Poker Fortune

Benjamin Rolle plays online poker as Bencb, and in September 2025 he won the WSOP Online Main Event for just under $4 million and a first bracelet. His WSOP-tracked earnings now total $5,704,317. His entire live tournament record adds up to $124,090.

This profile separates what is verifiable from what is estimated. Rolle’s tracked results are public record, but no published net worth figure for him carries a disclosed methodology, and his online total is self-reported. We cite the source and the snapshot date for every number.

One number frames the rest. That single online title paid roughly thirty-two times what he has earned in live tournaments across his entire career.

Bencb’s net worth is not publicly confirmed. Our estimate places it between $8 million and $12 million. No third-party site publishes a figure for him at all, which is unusual for a player at this level.

That range is ours and the working is set out below. It rests on one auditable number, one self-reported number, and two income streams that have never been disclosed.

Career earnings and net worth are different things. Earnings are gross payouts before buy-ins, re-entries, staking splits and tax. Net worth would also account for training-site income, sponsorship terms and more than a decade of living costs.

How much is Bencb worth?

The floor of that range is set by what can be audited, and the table below shows every component. Everything above that floor is judgement about two businesses nobody outside his circle can value.

The sponsorship is the easier of the two to date. He has been a CoinPoker ambassador since November 2024, and the terms of that deal have never been published.

How much has Bencb won playing poker?

Three numbers circulate and they measure three different things:

The third is the largest and the softest. It is self-reported, never independently audited, and gross, not profit.

Compare Niklas Astedt’s tracked online record, which an operator published and a public leaderboard carried. Rolle’s claim has no equivalent paper trail.

Why are Bencb’s live earnings so low?

Because he barely plays live. The two tracked records below are not close.

His last tracked live cash was $17,200 on 9 July 2023. His biggest was $45,310 for third in a €5,200 turbo at PokerStars Championship Barcelona in August 2017.

For context, his whole live career would not cover thirteen entries into the $10,300 weekly he wins titles in. The bracelet alone paid thirty-two times the lot.

The same pattern runs through more online tournament specialists we cover, whose records were built in online fields, not casinos.

Why does no site publish a Bencb net worth figure?

Most players at this level have a number to argue with. Rolle does not. CelebrityNetWorth has no page for him, so the sites that recycle its figures have nothing to recycle.

Five things sit outside every total above, and each one moves the real number:

Rolle has put a number on part of it himself. He disclosed roughly $145,000 in tracked profit across all of 2025 excluding the bracelet, which is a useful check on how much of that $35 million is profit.

Rolle was born on 3 February 1989 in Cottbus, in the east of Germany. For most of the decade that followed, almost nobody knew that. He built his entire early reputation behind a screen name.

Anonymity is a competitive position as much as a personal one. A handle with no face attached gives opponents nothing to study away from the table.

It also shaped what the public record says about him, and some of that is still wrong today. Three databases disagree about where he is from.

What is Bencb’s real name?

His real name is Benjamin Rolle. He played as bencb789 and did not confirm his identity publicly until a YouTube video in June 2019, nearly three years after the WCOOP win that made the handle famous.

The screen name still carries more search weight than the legal one. He has used a different alias on almost every site he has played.

Why do some sources say Bencb is Swedish?

Because his PokerStars flag showed Sweden while he was anonymous. Contemporaneous coverage of his 2016 WCOOP win described him as Swedish, and four of those attributions are still live on the record.

The Hendon Mob compounds it, listing him under England and Brighton. WSOP.com flags Austria, which reflects where he lives, not where he is from.

German Wikipedia and Wikidata both record German nationality and a Cottbus birthplace, and those are the details used here. He has been resident in Vienna for years.

Almost every title Rolle holds was won online. One title made his name in 2016, and another finally delivered the bracelet that had eluded him for nearly a decade.

The events below are the ones with a verifiable date, buy-in and payout attached. Anything without all three stays out.

The 2016 WCOOP Super High Roller

This was the tournament that built the reputation. The $102,000 buy-in sat at the very top of the online schedule in 2016, and it drew 28 entries for a $2,800,000 prize pool.

Six players returned for the day two restart and only the top three were paid. Isaac Haxton missed the money, busted by Fedor Holz.

Rolle struck a two-way deal heads-up and played on for the remainder, and Fedor Holz took the other half. The deal locked $1,116,360.60 for Rolle and left $56,000 on the table, and he won it.

His total for the event was $1,172,360.60. A figure of $1,172,461 circulates widely and does not reconcile with the deal arithmetic, so it is not used here.

How many WSOP bracelets does Bencb have?

One. He won Event #28 of the 2025 WSOP Online series, the $5,000 Main Event, on 23 September 2025 for $3,960,109.

The field was 5,961 entries and the prize pool $28,314,750, with 609 places paid. He entered the final table as chip leader on 75,645,533, or 21.16% of the chips in play.

He beat Anatoly Zlotnikov heads-up, with Phil Hellmuth calling the action on the stream. It was his second consecutive final table in the event, after finishing eighth the year before.

You will see this win reported as $3,900,707 almost everywhere. The figure above is WSOP.com’s own record, and the official number runs higher for his 2024 finish too. We use the official number and show both.

What else has Bencb won online?

Two GGMillion$ Super High Roller titles landed in 2025. The first beat Pedro Neves heads-up from a 143-entry field for $310,746, and a May win over Niklas Astedt took $360,198 from 179 entries.

Four years earlier came the Super MILLION$ title he streamed live on Twitch. He came to that final table in eighth place with 6% of the chips, then overturned a four-to-one heads-up deficit against Michael Zhang to win $424,581.

He also won a $5,250 High Roller Mulligan event live on Twitch. No payout figure survives on a source we can cite, so none is given.

The second pillar of Rolle’s income is not a poker result at all. Raise Your Edge is a training business, and for most of his career it has been the more reliable earner.

It is also why a net worth estimate for him cannot be built from tournament data alone.

What is Raise Your Edge?

Raise Your Edge is a poker training site built around tournament strategy. Its flagship course, Tournament Masterclass, launched in 2017 and runs to more than 50 hours of video.

The course carries over 250 preflop ranges alongside modules on ICM and population tendencies. The site states that 8,657 students have taken its courses.

The current lineup:

No founding year for the business is published by the site and the dates that circulate elsewhere disagree, so this profile dates the business from the 2017 course launch and leaves the rest open.

Revenue, headcount and the full coach roster are undisclosed. The student count is the only official number the business publishes.

That single number still carries weight. A tournament course at typical training-site pricing implies seven figures of lifetime sales across 8,657 buyers, which is why the range in the Net Worth section sits where it does.

The model also explains his schedule. A coach who sells recorded video earns whether or not he registers on a Sunday, and his 2026 results show a player who no longer needs the volume.

Rolle is an online tournament specialist and has been for his entire career. He plays No-Limit Hold’em tournaments and very little else.

His public reputation rests on two things at once: results at the highest online buy-ins, and a decade spent explaining how he got them.

Does Bencb play GTO or exploitative poker?

He rejects the framing. Solver output is the baseline his teaching starts from, and the material then deals with where opponents deviate from it.

That order matters. Learning the equilibrium first tells a player what a mistake actually looks like, which is what makes the deviation profitable rather than reckless.

That is the same position most elite tournament players now hold. The argument is not whether to study solvers but how far to move away from them once an opponent shows a pattern.

Tournament poker also forces adjustments that have nothing to do with hand strength. The pay-jump maths governing late-stage sizing is set out in our guide to why ICM reshapes tournament decisions, and it is a named module in his own course.

The bankroll disagreement with Uri Peleg

Rolle and Uri Peleg publicly disagreed about whether aspiring players should grind microstakes at all. It was a strategy dispute, not a controversy, and neither position was retracted.

The disagreement is really about what the cheapest games teach. Fields that never fold punish the balanced lines a course like his is built on, so the skills that beat them may not transfer upward.

Rolle’s name attaches to two 2020 incidents. Neither is a controversy about his own conduct.

Both sit in the same period, when real-time assistance was the dominant concern in online poker.

What happened between Bencb and Justin Bonomo?

Rolle shoved from the big blind over a cut-off raise. Bonomo tanked for roughly 45 seconds, then overcalled into two all-in players and won the pot.

Rolle raised the question of real-time assistance on his stream and on social media. Bonomo answered the same day, saying he had spent the time working out pot odds.

No formal investigation followed and no evidence was ever produced. Rolle never retracted the suspicion and Bonomo was never sanctioned, and that is where the matter still sits.

The episode is covered in more depth from Justin Bonomo’s side of the record, including his multi-accounting history and how the hand fits his wider career.

The Fedor Kruse staking affair

Whistleblowers exposed a two-computer real-time assistance setup used by Fedor Kruse in 2020. Rolle and Patrick Leonard then pressed Henri Buehler to account for a staking cut he had taken from Kruse’s games.

The sum in question was $41,974.42. Rolle’s role in both episodes was the same: a public demand for an explanation rather than a formal complaint.

Rolle has been a CoinPoker ambassador since November 2024 and plays there under the name Bencb. Before that he wore Team PokerStars Pro patches, from roughly August 2021 until September 2022.

Which poker site does Bencb play on?

CoinPoker is his sponsored room. He also holds a GGPoker account under his real name, which is where the bracelet and most of his recent tracked results were won.

His 2026 has been quiet by the standards of the year before. He took $3,761 from the $1,500 Sunday High Rollers Main in January, then cashed twice in the WSOP Online Super Circuit in March.

The result that mattered came later the same month, when he reached the final table of the SCOOP Main Event. Through May and June he ran a CoinPoker qualifier promotion for the WSOP through his own site.

None of that describes a player chasing volume. It describes a schedule arranged around a business, and the concepts behind it run through our full library of poker strategy guides.

Every figure here is verified, estimated or self-reported, and the copy says which.

How we handle ‘net worth’

No source publishes a net worth figure for Rolle, so the range here is our own. Its floor is his tracked earnings, which are gross payouts and already flatter what he kept.

Above that sits a judgement on an undisclosed training business and an undisclosed sponsorship, on the same basis that governs how we build every player profile.

How we report earnings

Live earnings come from The Hendon Mob and WSOP figures from WSOP.com. Both are gross payouts, before buy-ins and before tax.

His online total of over $35 million is self-reported and published by his sponsor. We attribute it wherever it appears and never state it as audited.

How we cover controversies

Rolle appears in two 2020 integrity stories and is the accused in neither. We report the allegation, the response and the outcome.

Where no formal process followed, we say so. A question that was never settled stays unsettled here.
