The championship will feature a $50,000,000 guarantee, over 700 Medal Events, a $3,000,000 guaranteed Main Event, and $350,000 in added value through promotions and leaderboards.
Following the Global Online Poker Championship, CoinPoker will have paid more than $133,000,000 in tournament prizes across its major 2026 series, including World Poker Masters and Battle of Malta Online.
Designed to be available to players regardless of location, the GOPC introduces three regional tournament schedules anchored to primetime in Asia, Europe, and Latin America.
Core events will also be available across three buy-in tiers, giving players at different bankroll levels the opportunity to compete throughout the series.
“The Global Online Poker Championship was built to be our biggest tournament series, but also, our most accessible to the world’s players,” a CoinPoker spokesperson confirmed. “Three regional schedules and three buy-in tiers mean more players can compete during their local primetime, at whatever stakes suit them.”
Looking forward to some tourneys aimed at the Asia/Pacific region, no more waking up at 2:30am and staying up until 1pm for me… for a month https://t.co/cNRJ7fXOVi

As Bencb announced the series, fellow CoinPoker ambassador Mario Mosböck predicted on Twitter that the GOPC will be “the hands down best Online Poker Series experience.”
CoinPoker will also launch the 3-Bet Club ahead of the GOPC on August 17th. The premium membership gives subscribers access to exclusive features and benefits, including tournament discounts.
Three Main Events Headline the Championship
The GOPC schedule is led by three Main Events designed for different bankrolls.
The $530 Main Event – $3,000,000 GTD
The $530 Main Event is the flagship tournament of the Global Online Poker Championship, awarding Gold, Silver, and Bronze Medals, and the series’ largest guaranteed prize pool of $3,000,000.
Day 1 flights will be scheduled mostly on Sundays, with certain days running three separate flights to increase options for players.
Day 2 of the $530 Main Event runs on September 28th at 17:30 UTC.
The $55 Global Main – $1,000,000 GTD
The $55 Global Main event is the mid-tier Main Event of the Global Online Poker Championship, awarding Gold, Silver, and Bronze Medals, a place in the Hall of Champions, and a $1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool.
Day 1 flights for the Global Main are expected to run daily during the GOPC series.
Day 2 of the $55 Global Main will be held on September 21st at 17:30 UTC.
The $11 Mini Main – $250,000 GTD
The $11 Global Mini Main is the entry-level Main Event of the Global Online Poker Championship, awarding Gold, Silver, and Bronze Medals, and a $250,000 guaranteed prize pool.
Like the larger Global Main, the $11 Global Mini Main is expected to have daily Day 1 flights.
Day 2 of the Global Mini Main has been scheduled for September 21st.
Medal Events Reward Best Performances
More than 700 Medal Events will run throughout the Global Online Poker Championship, awarding Gold, Silver, and Bronze Medals to the top three finishers.
Gold Medal winners receive real awards alongside digital versions in their CoinPoker Trophy Cabinet.
Silver and Bronze finishers also receive permanent Trophy Cabinet awards, while every medal earned contributes points toward the GOPC Podium Race.
$350,000 from GOPC Promotions and Leaderboards
The Global Online Poker Championship features $350,000 in additional rewards, designed to benefit players regardless of their results.
$250,000 Comeback Lanes
Comeback Lanes reward players for staying active throughout the series, even if they do not cash.
Players earn points for eligible non-cashing tournament entries across three buy-in tiers, earning GOPC tournament tickets as they reach milestone targets. Each milestone reached will award a higher-value tournament ticket than the last.
A total of $250,000 in tickets will be awarded during the promotion.
$80,000 Top 10 Leaderboards
The Top 10 Leaderboards track each player’s ten best tournament results throughout the Global Online Poker Championship.
When players have better tournament performances, these scores will be added to their Top 10 Leaderboard, while the lowest performances are removed.
Separate leaderboards for High, Mid, and Low Tier events ensure every GOPC player can rank for the $80,000 in prizes, no matter which buy-in level they play at.
$20,000 Podium Race
Every Gold, Silver, and Bronze Medal earned during the championship awards points toward the Podium Race leaderboard.
Medal points are the same across every buy-in level, giving all players the opportunity to compete for a share of the $20,000 prize pool awarded to the top five finishers. For example, a Gold Medal at a lower buy-in event will offer the same Podium Race points as a Gold Medal in a high roller event.
The $215 CoinMillion GOPC Edition
The CoinMillion returns on Sunday, September 6th with a $215 buy-in and $1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool.
| Event Name | Dates | UTC Time | Buy-In | Guarantee |
| The CoinMillion GOPC Edition (2-Day) | Day 1: Sept 6th | Day 1: 15:30 | $215 | $1,000,000 |
| Day 2: Sept 7th | Day 2: 16:30 |
The same day also features the $55 CoinMinion with a $250,000 guarantee and the $11 Mini CoinMinion with a $100,000 guarantee.
The upcoming CoinMillion on August 9th is already inside the CoinPoker lobby, and there are free Step 4 events players can enter. Direct satellites start at $5.50.
