In France, As PokerStars Backs Away, Winamax Pounces with Biggest Series Yet
Key Takeaways
  • Winamax’s Series 18 guarantees €11 million across 120 events squeezed into 12 days of action.
  • It marks a 10% increase in guarantees on the last series held in January with just five more events on the schedule than last time.
  • The current SCOOP event in France—PokerStars’ flagship tournament series—guarantees only €2.5 million across its 112 events, a decline of almost 40% on the series last year, and half the size of its 2015 event.

France’s leading online poker operator Winamax is currently running its biggest ever online tournament series.
