THE LEAGUE

How it Works

12 Week Season

Each season of THE Poker League will be 12-weeks. Buy-In is $60.00 per week with 10.00 going into the prize pool for the League Finals. 

THE Poker League prize pool could total $10,000.00 for the League Finals. Anyone can play in the League and the League Final will have a staggered buy-in based on the number of weeks you played.

Bonus Chips & Cash

Build a Mountain

Each week every player earns bonus chips that can be used for THE Poker League Finals. The more weeks you play the more chips you'll have in your starting stack for the Finals. Run good, because the better you finish each week the more bonus chips you'll earn. Deep Stack weeks earn DOUBLE bonus chips.

THE Poker League also pays cash to the top 15% of players each week.  

THE League Final

Big Money Here I Come

Buy-in for the Finals is staggered based on the number of league weeks you've played. Minimum buy-in is $100.00. Every player will get a starting stack and the earned bonus chips from the season. 

The Prize pool will pay out the final 9 players. No deals are allowed at the League Final Table - it's a fight to the finish. We anticipate a $10,000 prize pool for each The League location.
