Online Poker Highlights for Weekend of 30-31 March, 2024

The WSOP Super Circuit has been in play on GG Poker for most of March, with 18 ring events, several of which were run as phase tournaments, ensuring day 1s were available to play every day throughout the series. The single starting day ring events were more spread out, taking place 3-4 times per week on weekdays, with at least one over the weekend as well. For many players the bread and butter of the series will have been the daily side events, all of which had the added bonus of random ticket drops. Every few minutes a table is selected and everyone on it receives a satellite ticket to the Road to Vegas WSOP promotion. The biggest of the side events is the $54 Bounty Hunter, which on Sundays has a $1m guarantee!

There are still two ring events left to conclude, one of which is the $525 main event with a headline grabbing $10m prize pool. Its a phase tournament and day 1s have been running daily throughout the series and continue to do so this weekend. Day 2 doesn’t start until Monday 1st April ay 7pm (UK) and there are still several day 1 flights left over the weekend. It is still nearly $4m short of meeting its guarantee, so it’s worth keeping an eye on how it’s doing. Most likely participation will pick up and it will get there, but there are flights running on Monday afternoon for any last minute value splurge attempts to make it through, in case of overlay.

In full flow now is the Road to Vegas promotion, with over 1,000 $12,000 main event packages expected to be awarded in the run up to the WSOP this summer. It started a few weeks ago, with a very soft launch, but now the satellite and feeder options have been ramped up and there are daily opportunities to qualify, at various different price points. In total there are already 207 players who have won packages and this will increase considerably over the weekend. The key satellite of the week, with 25 packages guaranteed is on Sunday evening at 7.30pm (UK) with a hefty $1,200 buy-in, however there are feeder satellites from $20 into these and from as little as $1 into the daily $250 Road to Vegas qualifier. 

Just as the WSOP Super Circuit Series is drawing to a close, another GG Million$ Week of high stakes action gets going. The cheapest event in the series costs a trifling $525 to enter, while the main event and other high roller tournaments cost as much as $10,300 to join. Luckily there is a satellite path to help the mere mortals among us to sneak a way in and gate crash the big-stakes party. It all begins on Sunday, with daily flights into the $10,000 main event, which is being run with a phase format. There are also several side events per day.

The 100% Rake Returned in MTTs (via freerolls) promotion is now entering its final weekend. There’s still time to qualify for the freerolls, by playing at least 30 mtts in the month. That’s just about doable, even if you’re just getting involved at this late stage. If you play 30 mtts you get access to a freeroll with a $100,000 prize pool. Up it to 60 and you get into a second freeroll with a $150,000 prize pool and if you play 100 tournaments during the month you unlock the biggest of them all, with a $350,000 prize pool.

If you are registering for the first time, use WPT Global promo code WIRED to get the poker room's biggest available bonus.

The ‘Bump It Up’ tournaments have been doing very well during this promotion and while you will still find overlays in some of them on weekdays, the Sunday tournaments have performed remarkably well.  With all three surpassing their guarantees they have now been subjected to a second consecutive 10% guarantee increase. Whether they maintain the momentum they have picked up and soar to new heights, or return to overlaying remains to be seen. These are the current guarantees.

Coinpoker’s CSOP (Crypto Series of Poker) Mini is entering its final weekend. It’s a low roller series of poker, with 42 tournaments on its schedule, including No Limit Hold’em and Pot Limit Omaha, with buy-ins ranging from ₮1 to ₮100. The majority of the tournaments cost less than ₮10 to enter and ₮50,000 in guarantees across the series. The main event takes place this Sunday (March 31st) with a ₮100 buy-in and ₮20,000 guaranteed.

The highlights for the final weekend are:

The Coinpoker promo code MAXBET is available for new customers to use to get a  cash match offer of up to USDT 1100.

There’s a bit of a lull at Unibet Poker at the moment, understandably so, as their Anniversary series and celebrations have now come to an end. One thing that has returned to Unibet Poker is value, in the shape of overlays. Last Sunday’s Fight Night posted an overlay of nearly €2,000 on its €20,000 guarantee and there were other Sunday specials that also narrowly missed their guarantees. With not much still going on this weekend, it could be another overlay hunters paradise on Sunday.

New players registering for Unibet Poker benefit from a no-deposit required bonus valued at €20, which includes €10 in tournament tickets and €10 in cash game tickets. Players who make a real money deposit receive €200 in bonus, which is released gradually when playing requirements are met. New accounts have 60 days from sign up to clear the bonus.

iPoker’s Bounty Hunter Series also wraps up this weekend, with the biggest tournament saved until last. The piece de la resistance of the month-long series is the €100 main event on Sunday evening, with €125,000 guaranteed. There’s also a mini-main for those looking for something cheaper to get involved in.

Grosvenor Poker is also the home of online satellites to the Grosvenor UK Poker Tour (GUKPT), which holds events in several different Grosvenor Casinos throughout the UK. Satellites of various buy-ins run throughout the week, which award credit that can be used for the GUKPT, the 25/50 events, the Goliath or any other live event running at Grosvenor casinos. It’s a very flexible qualifying system, which enables players to accumulate credit from multiple satellites and choose when and where to use it. 

The GUKPT visits Edinburgh next week, where Ludovoic Geilich will be looking to not only defend his title from last year, but to complete a historic back-to-back double, following his victory in Blackpool earlier this month. This weekend is the last opportunity to win some Grosvenor Live event credit to use at the Edinburgh festival, which features a £1,250 main event.
