Online Poker League: Prizes and Money

October 1st sees the doors open on the new season of OPL, the world’s biggest Online Poker League, with a huge prizefund and hundreds of extras and bonuses up for grabs every step of the way.

Bringing together poker sites such as 888poker, Unibet, TonyBet, Coral, Betfair, Tigergaming, Natural8, Netbet Poker, Betonline and Betvictor under one league allows players the chance to try out new sites as well as their personal favorites -and share in the $35,000 on offer.

Tournaments will run every single day throughout October and there is up to $1000 to be won in cash in each event, with added value from the site itself seeing an extra £250-500 on the line – as well as the bonus points which will make up the overall OPL leaderboard, the eventual winner taking home a sweet $7000 of the $18,000 prizepool!

The league - run by poker players FOR pokers players - has definitely caught the imagination of the playing public AND also the sponsors, which range from individual training websites to the world’s biggest poker and travel companies – all offering extra prizes all the way down to 20th spot in each tournament.

The season kicks off in just three days’ time with a Betfair €5 + €0.50 buy-in event with €300 added, but let’s take a look at what you could win over and above the $1000 in cash per event …
