A carnival of football. A feast of poker.
The World Cup. It's a carnival of football. And we've got a carnival of poker to match it – ONLY at Genting Poker.
We've got more tournaments, more prize money and more poker action than ever for each of the 25 days of World Cup football. And at the end of it all, one player will be crowned King.
Finish deep in the money in any of our scheduled World Cup poker tournaments and you'll earn points on our World Cup Carnival leaderboard. And on top of the cash you can bank from tournament earnings, there'll be an extra £2,000 to win if you're crowned King of the Carnival - which we'll top up to five grand if England win the World Cup in South Africa!
The Genting Poker World Cup tournaments
Every matchday at 8pm (UK time) we'll run a multi-table tournament with a £20+£2 buy-in. As well as winning money according to our usual prize structure the top 10 players will get points on the World Cup Carnival leaderboard.
What's more, there'll be a bounty in each tournament – knock them out and you'll win £10 for every goal scored in the night's big game and 10 leaderboard points to boot.
And you can win a seat at each tournament via our 5-a-side match tournaments earlier in the day – five-seater SNGs with just a £6.80+50p buy-in with a token to the main tournament on offer to the victor and $12 cash for the runner up.
Or if you prefer the straight-up drama of a shootout, you can play in our Penalty Shootout heads-up tournaments and win a seat at the main tournament for just £11+£1.
And it's not how you start, it's how you finish that counts – leaderboard points will be DOUBLED for the knock-out stages.
So what are you waiting for? Start your warm-up games now – and see if you can be crowned King of the World Cup Carnival at Genting Poker.
