Main Event and Apex Events
While the schedule is packed with daily action, the true centerpieces of the festival are the massive weekend tournaments.
The undisputed highlight is the $30,000 WC Final Main, scheduled for the final day of the series on July 19th. With an incredibly accessible buy-in of just $50, this tournament offers massive value for low-to-mid stakes grinders.
Additionally, players should mark their calendars for July 4th, which features the $25,000 BCPoker Apex (also a $50 buy-in). Throughout the festival, a series of $8,000 WC Championship events (June 20, July 9, and July 18) will keep the competitive spirit high as players battle for the top spots on the festival leaderboard.
Football Promotions and Leaderboards
Because the festival is hosted on BCPoker, the operator has integrated unique cross-promotions that you simply cannot find in a live casino venue.
The standout feature is the $5,000 Daily Goal Rush. When a goal is scored during eligible World Cup matches, active cash game players will receive real-time, instant cash bonuses directly at their tables.
Additionally, the festival features a massive $42,000+ World Cup Leaderboard split into five stages. Points are accumulated not just through poker, but also via casino, live casino, and integrated sports betting activity. The Final Stage of the leaderboard will even award an extra jackpot bonus to the top 10 finishers.
Qualification & Buy-Ins
BCPoker ensures that players of all bankroll levels can participate in the festival. Direct buy-ins for the major tournaments range from $1 (for the $1,111 Golden One on July 11th) up to $50 for the Main Event.
If you want to play for less, BCPoker is running an extensive satellite route with qualifiers starting from just $1. Furthermore, the platform is giving away $30,000 in WC Freerolls, including daily $500 freerolls and two massive $3,000 special freerolls on June 12th and July 19th.
To maximize your bankroll, take advantage of the Daily Deposit Streak Bonus (running from June 5 to July 19). Existing players who deposit daily can claim an extra 2% in cash, plus tournament tickets ranging from $5 to $50 depending on their player tier.
