PokerStars to Award $90 Million Across WCOOP, SECOOP, and ICOOP This September

PokerStars has unveiled its September COOP festival lineup, guaranteeing nearly $90 million across three major tournament series:

• WCOOP (World Championship of Online Poker): $65M GTD
• SECOOP (Southern Europe COOP): €10M GTD
• ICOOP (Italian COOP): €10M GTD

All series kick off on September 7 and run until the end of the month.

Running Sept 7 – Oct 1, WCOOP returns for its 24th edition with 378 tournaments. Guarantees are reduced from last year’s $80M to $65M, bringing the series back to pre-pandemic levels.

Main Events:

• $10,300 NLHE – $4M GTD (down from $5M)
• $1,050 NLHE – $3M GTD
• $109 NLHE – $2M GTD

PLO Main Events guarantee over $1M combined.

Formats include PKOs, Mystery Bounties, Freezeouts, and nearly every variant on the platform.

Promotions: $100K leaderboards, Power Path satellites, Spin & Go editions, and a $500K Lucky Dip ticket giveaway.

Three special Sunday Million editions with $1M guarantees.

For Southern Europe (France, Spain, Portugal) and Italy, both COOP festivals will run Sept 7 – 28, each guaranteeing €10M.

• SECOOP: 261 events, €250 Mystery Bounty Main Event (€400K GTD).
• ICOOP: 251 events, €250 Freezeout Main Event (€500K GTD).
• Both feature a €1M guaranteed Sunday Million on Sept 7.
• Player of the Series leaderboards, Stars Spinner promos, and daily satellites add extra value.

SECOOP returns to €10M after several smaller editions, while ICOOP hits its largest guarantee ever — boosted by Sisal Poker joining PokerStars’ Italian network in late 2024.
