At the end of last week, WPT Global released a feature interview with their newest ambassador Nacho Barbero. It wasn’t a short Q&A, either. The Argentinian pro, now officially an ambassador for the platform, spoke about everything that you could think of, from grinding Magic cards in Paris cafés to facing off against Phil Ivey for a Triton title.
We’re not going to retell the whole thing here but we’ve pulled out the most insightful and most unapologetically Nacho moments from the chat. Think of this like the PokerListings highlights reel.
Series, missions, leaderboards, bonuses — we collected information about all the promotions available at all the best online poker sites in one article. So, regardless of whether you favor PokerStars or WPT Global, there is something for everyone!

The EPT Malta schedule just got an update and it’s not what you may thing. For once, it isn’t about prize pools or trophies.
PokerStars has announced that a €400 buy-in charity tournament will take place during the EPT Malta stop, with proceeds going to support the SiGMA Foundation’s school development project in Uganda. The event is scheduled for October 10 at 18:00, just as the festival begins to wind down but for a good cause, it might be one of the most impactful events on the 2025 schedule.
This new (and special) event joins an already stacked 2025 lineup, including the EPT Main Event, Mystery Bounty, and High Roller. If you missed our full rundown of what’s happening at EPT Malta starting tomorrow.
Maybe you haven’t heard of PokerPlanets yet and that’s okay. After all, they’re still a relatively new room trying to make a name for itself but don’t let that fool you: the team behind it isn’t new to poker at all. So far, this team has run platforms, built tournament series, and now they’re trying to create something a bit more player-focused.
At this point, you’re probably wondering what kind of promos they’ve got on the table right now, so in this article, we’re going to do a breakdown of what’s available and how it actually works.
Back in August, the poker world raised eyebrows when Upswing Poker, Doug Polk’s first big poker venture, announced it had been acquired by ClubWPT Gold. The deal alone is a big enough shakeup to make the news but as it turns out, it was only a start. Now, just a few weeks later, ClubWPT Gold has rolled out the next phase of its, well, transformation.
On September 24, the platform quietly flipped the switch on what might be the boldest shift we’ve seen so far in poker this year: it stopped being a “play-for-prizes” sweepstakes room and started calling itself a poker training site. And we’re not just talking about marketing here. It’s the structure and the mechanics. And how players spend money, and what they get in return.
So, we’ve decided to do a little follow up article and help you understand where ClubWPT Gold stands now.
As was previously promised, the massive freeroll series will resume on October 1st and run until November 1st, 2025 on WPT Global.

A few months ago, we wrote a relatively short piece about a proposed bill that could outlaw all real-money online gaming in India, poker included. The Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill 2025, which was introduced by Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, doesn’t distinguish between games of skill and games of chance, meaning online poker is in a precarious legal position. So, why are we rehashing this story?
Apart from the bill passing both houses of Parliament, receiving presidential assent, and becoming law, we’re beginning to see the first real consequence now. In a letter sent to affiliates, WPT Global announced it will discontinue its services for Indian players starting 30 September.
Back in June, BetRivers Poker made a bold move. The US operator announced (and executed) a multi-state launch that brought real-money online poker to Delaware and West Virginia. At that point, West Virginia had been for a regulated operator waiting since 2019. Delaware was without active poker since late 2023.
So, when BetRivers Poker stepped in and linked these two states with Pennsylvania and Michigan under a shared liquidity agreement, it became one of only two US networks operating across multiple states. However, one (promised) piece of the puzzle is still missing and that’s New Jersey.
So, PokerListings has decided to see where BetRivers and The Garden State stand as of now.
