Reputable blockchain-based poker room CoinPoker is grabbing headlines today, first for its high-stakes, nosebleed battles and second for its frequent crypto giveaways.
In fact, its latest promotion, now live, is already shaping up to become one of the most lucrative events of 2026, featuring a $30 million guarantee, physical trophies, and 100 packages to the Battle of Malta Autumn Edition, one of Europe’s most iconic live poker festivals.
The coveted crypto giveaway, dubbed “Battle of Malta Online Series,” started rolling on July 12 and has delivered plenty of insane highlights, with dramatic final tables, tough head-up clashes, and massive payouts already on the books.
The $1M CoinMillion led the early action, producing the highest winnings of the series so far, with champions also emerging across a host of other tournaments.
But considering that many of the festival’s flagship events are still ahead, the platform is poised for even more player traffic in the coming days.
Battle of Malta Online Series: A New Era For Crypto Poker Begins
The Battle of Malta Online Series is more than just another tournament festival. It represents the coming together of two of the most established names in poker: CoinPoker and Battle of Malta.
CoinPoker already boasts a solid track record within the crypto poker space, delivering premium cash game and tournament gameplay through a unified, multi-device experience.
As a matter of fact, the top-tier online operator boasts some of the highest-stakes battles on the internet today, cementing its status as a leading destination for high roller poker.
Battle of Malta, on the other hand, is one of the most popular live poker festivals on the European calendar, offering a “Vegas-style” experience at buy-ins that cater to players of all bankrolls.
Now, with the partnership between the duo, the gap between live and crypto poker is steadily narrowing.
The result? The Battle of Malta Online Series, a festival that blends the prestige of a long-running live tournament with the innovation of blockchain-powered poker, giving players the opportunity to compete online for cash prizes, exclusive trophies, and packages to the Battle of Malta Autumn Edition.
It is therefore not without reason that the series continues to attract impressive fields across events of varying formats.
Spectacular Moments from the Battle of Malta Online Series
Per the schedule, the Battle of Malta Online Series will run until August 3, meaning players still have several more days to compete for a share of the $30 million prize pool.
The action from the events completed so far has been nothing short of spectacular.
Grinders engaged in hard-fought heads-up battles, especially at the final tables, to the extent that one player even called for a deal, only to be rebuffed before eventually being eliminated.
For the $1 million CoinMillion event, “monc” emerged as champion, taking home $121,500, followed by “n7v7rcapp7d,” who collected $77,100, and third-place finisher “JohnnieTsunami” who earned $55,800.
But that’s not all. Several other tournaments, including the $215 Mdina Masters 8-Max, $150 CoinMasters Bitcoin, and $320 Dark Knight PKO, amongst others, also produced big moments and crowned new champions.
Unsurprisingly, every winner received their prize money almost instantly, all thanks to CoinPoker’s strong crypto foundation. The victors from each completed event can be found in the Battle of Malta tab.
What’s Ahead?
As the series continues to heat up, here is a glimpse of upcoming events to look out for:
$2,500,000 Main Event
The centerpiece of the festival is the $2.5 million guaranteed Main Event, divided into Day 1 and Day 2 flights.
Day 1 flights have been underway since the opening week and will continue until August 2, giving players plenty of time to qualify for Day 2, where a share of the $2.5 million prize pool is up for grabs.
Day 2 will be held as scheduled on August 3, when the surviving players will return for a final push toward the title, trophies, and substantial payouts.
Battle of Malta Main Challenger & Main Crusader
Next on the line is a headline-grabbing event dubbed “Battle of Malta Main Challenger. It carries a $55 buy-in and a guaranteed prize pool of $500,000, offering excellent value for players chasing lucrative payouts during the series.
This event is accompanied by the $11 Main Crusader, which features a $100,000 guarantee. Day 1 flights for both events run daily throughout the series at 17:30 UTC.
Day 2 will bring together all the surviving players from Day 1 into a single field for each event, as they continue their pursuit of the championship.
$1M CoinMasters BTC High Roller
Also among the top events on the schedule is the $1 million CoinMasters BTC High Roller.
This event is already a staple of CoinPoker’s coveted CoinMasters schedule, awarding gold-plated coins and substantial prize money to players.
Now, the Battle of Malta Online Series adds another layer of incentive to it. Alongside the cash rewards and gold-plated coins, the winners will also receive a special physical trophy delivered to their homes, as well as a digital version for their Trophy Cabinet.
As of today, Day 1A and 1B of this event have been completed. However, players still have more opportunities to qualify for Day 2, with Day 1C and 1D flights set to take place on July 26 and August 2, respectively.
Regs of the Round Table
Players can also anticipate the Regs of the Round Table tournament, scheduled to run on July 30.
The tournament is available in three versions: high, medium, and low. The high edition features a $530 buy-in and a $200,000 prize pool, appealing to grinders who thrive in high-stakes battles.
