  • PokerGO and CoinPoker launch PGT Online with six major series and $250m in guarantees.
  • The series starts 8 November 2026 with a $50m guaranteed KickOff event.
  • Fifty players can qualify for a $1m winner-takes-all Vegas finale in January 2028.
Six Series, total $250M GTD, and a $1 Million Vegas Showdown. PokerGO and CoinPoker Are Taking Online Poker to the Next Level!
PokerGO is expanding its brand into the online poker arena, and who's providing the tables? None other than CoinPoker. The newly announced collaboration brings six major PokerGO Tour (PGT) tournament series online, with a year-long partnership featuring $250 million in combined guarantees.

But the big-boy money isn't limited to online tournaments. The project will also send 50 players to a $1 million winner-takes-all live finale at PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas in January 2028.

That's quite a carrot to dangle in front of serious online grinders, who indeed need to grind to earn their spot for Vegas.


Six PokerGO Series Are Going Online

The PGT Online project on CoinPoker isn't a one-and-done affair, but a year-long grind fest featuring six online poker series inspired by PokerGO's signature live event styles.

The lineup includes:
  • PGT KickOff Online
  • Super High Roller Bowl
  • PokerGO Cup
  • PGT PLO Series
  • Poker Masters Online
  • PGT Championship
Each festival will have its own schedule, guarantees, trophy events, and challenges.
You won't have to wait long for the action to start. 

The opening festival, PGT KickOff Online, gets underway on November 8 with a whoppering $50 million in guaranteed prize pools. See the CoinPoker PGT KickOff Online schedule highlights.

Details of the remaining five series will be revealed later.

Fifty Players, One Million Dollars, One Winner

Many roads lead to Vegas and now there are 50 more online.
CoinPoker has introduced the PGT Millionaire Challenges, offering several qualification routes to the January 2028 Vegas Finale at PokerGO Studio:
  • Direct qualifiers: Selected challenges award a Vegas Final seat directly, including designated Main Event victories.
  • Qualifier tournaments: Other challenges award tickets to special tournaments, where the winner earns the Las Vegas seat.

Grind Loyalty Badges and Earn Entry to Vegas Qualifiers

If you're prepared to grind for a shot at PokerGO's Vegas Finale, CoinPoker has plenty of reasons to keep you coming back throughout the year.

Its PGT Loyalty Badges reward players for showing up across each festival:
  • 8 active days: Earn one badge and one qualifier tournament ticket.
  • 15 active days: Earn another badge and ticket.
  • 20 active days: Complete the final milestone and collect a third badge and ticket.
That's three badges and three shots at a Vegas qualifier tournament per festival. Remember, these are qualifier tickets, not direct seats in the $1 million finale.

There's another little twist:
  • Double ticket rewards: Repeat the same activity challenges during the following festival and each milestone awards two tickets instead of one.
  • Permanent badges: Maintain the required activity across consecutive series to lock previously earned badges into your Trophy Cabinet.
Miss the next festival challenge, however, and unlocked badges can disappear. Poker loyalty apparently comes with a few strings attached!

CoinPoker Sweetens the Deal with Real Trophies

Online glory and bragging rights are nice, but you know what's even better? Having a real physical spit bowl sitting on your table. And that's exactly what CoinPoker is offering.

Winners of selected major PGT Online events will receive actual trophies, alongside digital versions for their CoinPoker Trophy Cabinets.

Players who qualify for Las Vegas will also unlock the Finalist Journey badge, which comes with potential upgrades and premium perks for their trip. What exactly those perks include remains to be announced.

PGT Online Hits Home After The One and GOPC 2026

First came the record-breaking GOPC 2026, followed by The One, CoinPoker's biggest single tournament. Now comes PGT Online, a year-long poker extravaganza. Seems like CoinPoker is hitting home runs on all fronts.

PGT Online kicks off on November 8, 2026, with the $50 million guaranteed PGT KickOff Online.

Looks like online poker is getting a serious upgrade.
