ShareHello ladies and gentlemen, it is our honor to present to you the 18th Season of the Online Poker League, which is going to be running between Nov 7th and Nov 29th. This fall, the action will take place at 10 poker rooms where a total of $25,000 will be given as extra cash rewards.
Between these dates, 40 tournaments are going to be played in the popular poker rooms. These rooms are Unibet, PokerStars, Bet365 Poker, Betsson, Americas Cardroom, GGPoker, Intertops Poker, Natural 8, HighStakes, and DogeGaming.
We all have been anticipating this year’s OPL season, and we can now say that the OPL will commence with the Natural8’s $100 Freeroll that is going to start on November 7th at 18:00 GMT.
Earning Points
As in the previous years, your task will be simple. You should participate in as many poker tournaments as you possibly can, in order to get as many points towards the OPL leaderboard. You will be earning points depending on your finishing position in the 40 tournaments. Please note that some of the tournaments are going to be featured, meaning they will be awarding double points to the top 10 finishing players.
The point allocation for the standard tournaments is going to look like this:
- 1st Place - 100 points
- 2nd Place - 75 points
- 3rd Place - 65 points
- 4th Place - 55 points
- 5th Place - 50 points
- 6th Place - 45 points
- 7th Place - 40 points
- 8th Place - 35 points
- 9th Place - 30 points
- 10th Place - 25 points
So, on top of the tournament’s winnings, there are going to be added anywhere between $100 and $545 in each of these tournaments. Additionally, the top 5 players from the series leaderboard at the end of the season, are going to scoop some amazing prizes as well. The leaderboard prizes will be paid in form of valuable tickets for some of the best tournaments in the partner rooms.
The biggest rooms that are hosting tournaments for this OPL season are GGPoker, PokerStars, Unibet, and Americas Cardroom. It is going to be an interesting thing to play in so many different poker rooms that actually are competitors. Some of these rooms are mostly European, some Asian, and some American!
If you can play at any of these poker rooms due to your country of residence, do not despair, there are plenty of tournaments where you can show your true poker skills and beat the competition.
USA friendly poker rooms
Of course, the guys behind the Online Poker League were thinking about US players too. That is why they decided to include a few poker rooms where US players are welcomed. For example, if you are a USA citizen, you can play at the tournaments that will be played in the following poker rooms:- Intertops
- Americas Cardroom
- DogeGaming
