WSOP, CoinPoker, and WCOOP celebrated major 2026 series finishes with diverse formats.
Big winners: Novak (WSOP), siema (GOPC), Boianovsky (WCOOP).
PokerStars WCOOP provided the most comprehensive statistical breakdown.

WSOP Online, GOPC and WCOOP closed September with contrasting formats and reporting. GGPoker focused on 33 bracelet events, CoinPoker exceeded its $50 million guarantee, while PokerStars published complete totals of 593,189 entries and $49,054,415 in prize pools across 350 tournaments.

The closing weeks of September brought three major online poker festivals to an end, with GGPoker, CoinPoker and PokerStars completing flagship series built around distinctly different structures.

WSOP Online focused on bracelet competition across 33 events, CoinPoker's Global Online Poker Championship ran for 37 days with a $50 million series guarantee, while the World Championship of Online Poker featured 121 events divided across 350 Low, Medium and High tournaments.

The available post-series figures also differ significantly. PokerStars released complete aggregate statistics for WCOOP, while the published figures for WSOP Online cover only the first 17 bracelet events.

CoinPoker confirmed that GOPC surpassed its $50 million guarantee but did not provide one combined final figure covering all entries and prize money.

WSOP Online Features 33 Bracelet Events on GGPoker

The 2026 WSOP Online series ran from August 16 through September 29 on GGPoker, with 33 bracelet tournaments forming the core of the schedule.

Several events carried substantial advertised guarantees. The $5,000 Main Event featured a $25 million guarantee, while both the Mini Main and Millionaire Maker offered $5 million guarantees. At least $10 million was also guaranteed across the GGMillion$ High Rollers.

By the completion of Event #17, WSOP Online had recorded 147,174 entries and awarded $51,568,490 in prize money.

However, those numbers represented only the first half of the bracelet schedule. They are therefore not final figures for the entire 33-event series and cannot be directly treated as complete festival totals when comparing WSOP Online with the final statistics released for WCOOP.

GOPC Finishes Above $50 Million Series Guarantee

CoinPoker's Global Online Poker Championship ran from August 23 through September 29, producing a 37-day schedule built around a $50 million overall guarantee.

Following the conclusion of the festival, CoinPoker reported that the completed GOPC had exceeded the advertised $50 million figure. The operator did not, however, publish a single combined final total covering every entry and every dollar awarded across the complete schedule.

The GOPC Main Event attracted 7,414 entries. "siema" won the tournament for $423,605 and finished the championship with $480,542 in total series winnings.

According to CoinPoker, that was the highest amount earned by any player during the festival.

The lower buy-in championship events generated even larger fields. The $55 Global Main attracted 21,281 entries, with PenthousePrinz taking first place for $57,700.

The $11 Global Mini Main recorded the largest of the three stated championship fields with 26,060 entries. Soygeld333 won the event for $24,040.

CoinPoker also distributed $200,000 through regional leaderboards and reported several notable satellite paths during the championship.

WCOOP Records 593,189 Entries Across 350 Tournaments

PokerStars published the most complete final statistical breakdown among the three series.

WCOOP ran from September 6 through September 30 and consisted of 121 events spread across 350 tournaments at Low, Medium and High levels.

Across the full festival, WCOOP generated 593,189 entries and $49,054,415 in total prize pools. Players who finished first collectively earned $7,999,725.

The largest individual winner's prize during the series was $551,632, while the smallest was $234.

Multiple-title winners were also a significant part of the final numbers. Thirty-six players won more than one WCOOP title, although no player captured more than four events.
