iPoker Bounty Hunter Series: Gladiators Edition Brings €5 Million in Prizes

From October 24 to November 10, the iPoker Network (RedStar Poker, Champion Poker) will host one of its biggest seasonal promotions yet — the Bounty Hunter Series: Gladiators Edition, featuring over €5,000,000 guaranteed across hundreds of tournaments, missions, and daily leaderboards.

This Gladiator-themed festival will run NLH and PLO events in Mystery Bounty and Progressive Knockout (PKO) formats. In total, the schedule includes 236 single-day tournaments and 6 multi-flight events, with buy-ins ranging from €1 to €500 and guarantees between €1,000 and €200,000.

Instead of one standalone Main Event, the spotlight will be shared among six major multi-flight tournaments:

• €7.50 Omaha (€5,000 Gtd) – Day 2: November 2
• €25 6-Max Arena (€60,000 Gtd) – Day 2: November 3
• €1 Mystery (€15,000 Gtd) – Day 2: November 9
• €250 Colosseum Cup (€200,000 Gtd) – Day 2: November 10
• €75 Colosseum Cup (€100,000 Gtd) – Day 2: November 10
• €12.50 Colosseum Cup (€40,000 Gtd) – Day 2: November 10

Throughout the festival, players can also take part in daily and overall leaderboards, nine themed missions, and two extra side promotions with random rewards.

Three daily leaderboards — Optio, Centurion, and Primus — reward players for consistent results. Points are earned as follows:

• +1 point – play any BHS tournament
• +2 points – win a bounty
• +5 points – finish in the money

Each leaderboard corresponds to a specific buy-in range, with prizes awarded in tournament tickets every day.

Optio (Buy-ins €1–€15)
Top prize: €50 ticket — payouts extend to 50th place (€1 ticket minimum)

Centurion (Buy-ins €20–€75)
Top prize: €100 ticket — payouts to 50th place (€3 ticket minimum)

Primus (Buy-ins €100–€1,000)
Top prize: €200 ticket — payouts to 20th place (€10 ticket minimum)

The Gladius Bounty Leaderboard tracks every knockout throughout the series, crowning the Player of the Series at the end.

Points are earned purely for bounties:

• €10 in bounty rewards = 0.25 points
• Each PKO bounty = 1 point
• Each KO in multi-flight events = 2 points

The top 150 players will share ticket prizes worth thousands of euros, including:

• 1st place – two €250 tickets
• 2nd place – three €100 tickets
• 3rd place – two €100 tickets
• 4th–6th places – three €50 tickets each
• Up to 150th place – prizes down to €10 tickets

Players can complete nine missions based on rake accumulation, tournament participation, or knockouts. Rewards include entry tickets to satellites, freerolls, and step events.

Highlights include:

• Ultra Mysterium I – Generate €300 in rake to earn a €15 satellite ticket
• The Colosseum II – Generate €500 in rake for a €25 satellite ticket
• The Triumphant – Cash seven times in BHS tournaments
