Just ten days after a sudden announcement of the World Poker Masters on April 9th, CoinPoker finally revealed the schedule of this massive series.

Note: While the series itself begins on May 3rd, CoinPoker has prepared a World Poker Masters Warm Up Stage, giving players the opportunity to qualify for WPM events preliminary via satellites from April 26th to May 2nd, 2026.

WPM Biggest Tournaments

Most of the schedule consists of events with guarantees of less than half of a million.

The “giants” start with WPM #30L: ₮55 MINI MAIN having a $500,000 guaranteed prize pool, which Day 1 starts daily at 16:30 UTC from May 3rd to May 31st, while Day 2 begins at the same time on June 1st.

Only 5 tournaments in the series will have guarantees of a million dollars or more — and all of them are trophy tournaments:

By the way, for two weeks between May 11th to 24th, CoinPoker decided to run $150 BITCOIN Gold Coin $150,000 Gtd every day, excluding Friday. The winners of each of these tournaments will receive, in addition to the prize money, CoinPoker Gold Coins, which are required to participate in the CoinMasters promotion.

$425,000 WPM Leaderboards

These are weekly races, where points from each event are calculated considering number of entrants, buy-in level and finishing position on the contestant by the formula:

  • 10*[sqrt(A)/sqrt(C)]*[1+log(B+0.25)]

Leaderboard prize pools vary between weeks and buy-in tiers: Low ($15 — $88) and High ($109 — $530).
