The reputable blockchain-based poker room CoinPoker is grabbing headlines today, firstly for its high-stakes battles and secondly for its frequent crypto giveaways.
In fact, his latest live promotion is already set to be one of the most lucrative events of 2026, including a $30 million guarantee, physical trophies and 100 packages at the Battle of Malta Autumn Edition, one of Europe’s most iconic live poker festivals.
Dubbed the ‘Battle for Malta Internet Series’, the coveted crypto event kicked off on July 12th and brought plenty of crazy moments with dramatic final tables, tight heads-up battles and massive payouts already scheduled.
The $1 million CoinMillion led the way at the start of the action, bringing home the highest payouts of the series so far, with champions also appearing in numerous other tournaments.
But considering that many of the main events of the festival are still to come, the platform is poised to receive even more player traffic in the coming days.
Battle for Malta Online Series: A New Era of Crypto Poker Begins
The Battle of Malta online series is more than just another tournament festival. It is a combination of two of the most famous names in poker: CoinPoker and Battle of Malta.
CoinPoker already boasts a solid track record in crypto poker, delivering high-quality cash games and tournaments through a unified experience across multiple devices.
In fact, the top-tier online operator boasts some of the highest rates on the net today, cementing its status as a premier destination for high rollers.
Battle of Malta, on the other hand, is one of the most popular live poker festivals on the European calendar, offering Vegas-style buy-ins for players with varying bankrolls.
Now, thanks to the partnership between this duo, the gap between live and crypto poker is steadily closing.
The result? Battle of Malta Online Series, a festival that combines the prestige of a long-running live tournament with the innovation of blockchain-based poker, giving players the opportunity to compete online for cash prizes, exclusive trophies and packages for the autumn edition of Battle of Malta.
Therefore, it is not for nothing that the series continues to attract impressive fields at events of various formats.
Spectacular moments from the online series “Battle for Malta”.
According to the schedule, the Battle of Malta Online Series will continue until August 3, which means that players still have a few 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 some stubborn heads-up battles, especially at the final table, to the point where one player even called for a trade, only to be rebuffed before eventually going out.
In the $1 million CoinMillion event, “monc” was the champion, taking home $121,500, followed by “n7v7rcapp7d” who collected $77,100, and “JohnnieTsunami” in third place.» which earned $55,800.
But that’s not all. Several other tournaments, including the $215 Mdina Masters 8-Max, the $150 CoinMasters Bitcoin and the $320 Dark Knight PKO, also produced highlights and new champions.
Unsurprisingly, every winner claimed their prize almost instantly, all thanks to CoinPoker’s strong crypto foundation. The winners of each completed event can be found under the Battle of Malta tab.
