What’s New in April Dual Venom

For the first time in Venom history, ACR Poker decided to change the availability of Day 1s for players, depending on their usage of the Staking feature in the room.

If a player buys into any Venom with their own money or ticket from any satellite, they can play as many Day 1s as they want and accumulate chips from each qualification in Day 2.

But if a player uses Staking to buy into Venom and qualify to Day 2 on staked entry, they will lose access to the remaining Day 1s and can’t have cumulative stack in Day 2.

Venom Vault Is Also Updated

In April 2026, Venom Vault will run as The High Five Edition for the first time ever.

This means that in addition to the standard tickets for Venom Survivor Flip and the flagship tournaments themself, the promotion also guarantees tickets for Hi5 satellites.

Otherwise, the Venom Vault works as usual — from April 6th to April 26th, you’ll need to earn a key to open the vault and receive a random reward.

There are three ways to get keys:

1. Buy them in the room’s lobby: 1 key = $2.99.
2. Exchange 300 Combat Points for 1 key.
3. Complete Venom Vault Challenges.

Players have access to 12 challenges, each offering a different number of keys:

You can find the Venom Vault in My Account —> Rewards.
