Entering the second decade of the World Series of Poker (WSOP) in 1980 brought fresh blood to Las Vegas that forever changed the perception of the game. While previous years were dominated by seasoned veterans of the 'old school,' 1980 was marked by the 'Fowler Effect' and the emergence of amateurs. The poker world was stunned by a 26-year-old from New York who had never been seen at the poker table before.

This year's Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) online festival is all about rewriting the record books. The series is marked by mysterious Albanian player king153246's breathtaking run, Jerry Odeen's historic tying of the title record, and Renan Bruschi's remarkable form.

The South Korean island of Jeju was recently the stage for the second-ever Triton ONE festival. The series shattered all participation records and culminated in two massive events, where Zhao Wenjie and Siang Ang Yang managed to outplay seasoned global stars.

The 25th anniversary of the Norwegian festival Norges-Mesterskapet (NM) concluded with a victory for the hometown star. Espen Uhlen Jørstad confirmed his prowess by winning the NM 2026 Main Event, along with a prize of €102,000.

The sixth annual PokerGO Cup festival in Las Vegas concluded with its grand finale.

Sean Winter claimed his eighth PGT circuit title, and Andrew “LuckyChewy” Lichtenberger secured his ninth.

The gap between official casino app rankings and what players actually discuss online has become measurable.

Welcome bonuses appear rarely. RTP percentages appear almost never.

CoinPoker just turned the tables on the one thing that silently drains every win-rate: rake. For a limited March window tied to its new platform launch, they’re running a 100% rakeback campaign where you can claw back every fee you generate — first as straight daily cashback, then as a reward-fueled mix of Splashes, leaderboards, and promo dollars.

This year's Super High Roller Series festival is even more special as Triton marks its 10th anniversary with 18 action-packed days. Rene Van Krevelen takes home the first trophy, marking his debut title at Triton.

Some poker spots are interesting strategically, others are fascinating psychologically. And then there are those that can astonish even seasoned commentators.
