$30M in guarantees over 77 trophy events from July 12 to August 3, 2026.
100 live event packages include €600 Main Event ticket & travel cash for Battle of Malta.
Opening weekend features $1M events; $10M paid out in the festival’s final weekend.

The line between online grinding and live poker travel is blurring completely this July. CoinPoker has officially pulled back the curtain on its upcoming Battle of Malta Online Series, putting a massive $30 million in total guarantees on the line from July 12 through August 3, 2026.

Over the course of 23 days, the festival will run a dense schedule of tournaments aimed at giving players a direct shot at making the trip to Casino Malta this autumn without having to buy in directly.

Bridging the Digital and Physical Tables

This series is CoinPoker's largest festival guarantee to date, a move that leverages the deep popularity of the live Battle of Malta brand. The schedule is anchored by 77 numbered trophy events that award physical silverware along with digital profile display awards to the winners.

The entire schedule is structured to build momentum gradually, saving its heaviest liquidity for a closing weekend that will see $10 million in prize money paid out over just a few days.

A Package-Heavy Incentive Plan

For a lot of players, the primary target won't just be the prize pools, but the 100 live event packages tucked into the promotion. Each package carries a value of $2,500 and includes a travel cash budget alongside a €600 Main Event ticket for the live Battle of Malta Autumn Edition, running from October 27 to November 4, 2026.

These packages are distributed throughout the schedule via specialized Main Event flight promotions and the daily Champion’s Trials leaderboards, meaning a solid multi-day run online can instantly transform into a Mediterranean poker vacation.

The Big Openers on July 12

The festival kicks into high gear immediately on its opening Sunday with two heavy-hitting tournaments. The first is the return of the $215 buy-in CoinMillion, bringing a flat $1,000,000 guarantee to the opening weekend, with its Day 2 wrapping up on July 13.

High-stakes players will also find the $1,500 CoinMasters BITCOIN on the opening flight path, which similarly features a $1,000,000 guarantee and is expected to draw a tough, competitive field right out of the gate.
