CoinPoker launches the first Global Online Poker Championship (GOPC) tomorrow, Sunday, August 23: a 37-day series running until September 28, 2026 with $50,000,000 guaranteed and more than 700 medal events. It is the biggest series the room has ever scheduled.
The GOPC is built for players worldwide: core events repeat at prime time for Europe, Latin America and Asia, and most come in three buy-in tiers. Buy-ins range from $2.20 to $25,500, across Hold’em and Omaha tournaments.

How the GOPC works
Each core event runs on three schedules — Europe, Latin America and Asia — so you can play it in your time zone, and in three buy-in tiers (low, mid and high). The top three in every official event win a Gold, Silver or Bronze medal, and results count towards your regional team and the series leaderboards.
Three Main Events: $4.25 million guaranteed
The GOPC is anchored by three Main Events with multiple Day 1 flights during the series. The $530 event closes the festival on September 28; the two more affordable versions finish a week earlier.

Bankroll Boosts: $130,000 for players who miss the money
The GOPC sets aside $130,000 in tournament tickets and personalised missions for players who do not cash: non-cashing entries build progress and unlock tickets for another shot. Together with the regional leaderboards and the Podium Race, they make up the series’ $350,000 in added value.
