WSOP Online is making October a marathon for tournament lovers.

Three separate series are running at once, with more than $5 million in guaranteed prizes and a mix of bracelets, rings, and reload bonuses for players.

The Fall WSOP Online Poker Festival leads the way, offering 33 bracelets and buy-ins from $400 to $3,200.

So if you’re playing online poker in Nevada, Michigan, Pennsylvania, or New Jersey, it might be time to clear your calendar.

Poker content creation isn’t easy and everyone has an opinion.

Have you seen Lexy’s new style vlogs?

Ok, there’s voice-over, which I don’t love, but the terminology primers that pop up and player profile graphics are cool for viewers who may not know too much about the game.

Context: The JPO Ladies Final Table prizes are condoms and lube from company Sagami. And the poker world is not happy.

In this latest vlog, Jaman Burton, dives into a private No Limit Hold’em game that borrows more than a little from Netflix’s Squid Game.

There are bounty chips, bomb pots, and a special round where the last person out has to pay the table.

How the sponsorship of the JOPT Ladies Championship could have gone right.

Yes, more on the lube and condoms story from the JOPT.

It’s worth going on X to read this translation in full.

It’s a really good way to understand how that partnership with SIGAMI could have worked out well.

888 and PokerNews are joining forces.

The online tournament series starts on October 18!

Day 2 of the Super High Roller Bowl PLO was all about narrowing the field from 27 down to the final six.

The stakes? A $1.15 million payday for whoever can outlast the others on October 7th.

Jason Koon, Jeremy Ausmus, and Nick Schulman are among those who survived the cull, and they’ll be back for the final table.

Poker sites and the art of not sharing secrets.

Lee Jones takes a closer look at why online poker sites keep cheater info to themselves.

Even when a player, like the notorious 'Paul Gregg,’ is found using compromised poker apps to see hole cards, the news rarely travels beyond the site that catches them.

According to Jones, “The bottom line is that sites are very unlikely to share suspected cheater information with each other.”

A mix of legal headaches, data protection laws like GDPR, and commercial interests means sites play it close to the vest.

For players, that means the same scammer might show up on multiple sites before getting caught.

As Jones notes, “A site which has this sort of evidence and doesn’t act on it has abdicated its responsibility to its customers.” But sharing? That’s another story entirely.

PokerStars UK players are about to get very familiar with Betfair, as the PokerStars Network shifts its UK operations onto the Betfair platform.

This is all part of Flutter’s master plan to consolidate poker under one roof, bringing the shared player pool and iconic tournaments like the Sunday Million along for the ride.
