Key Takeaways
- PokerStars is guaranteeing almost €8 million across COOPs in its four markets.
- The Italian and Spanish series see slight gains, but the French COOP is cut in half.
- Winamax launches a new low buy-in Circus series.
- Partypoker schedules an ambitious return of its FPC.
Almost all the large online poker rooms across the European online poker market have scheduled their big autumn tournament series. PokerStars has COOPs across all four segregated markets, Winamax has launched an ambitious new tournament series, and even 888 in Spain and partypoker in France have pushed the boat out.
These series may well represent the last big push in online MTTs ahead of European shared liquidity which is expected to come into effect by early 2018 and will allow operators to pool liquidity between each market. Not only does this offer a final snapshot under the segregated system, but it also provides key insight into how each operator is preparing for this seismic shift.
