Live poker festival hosted at Card Casino Bratislava, Slovakia from August 1 through August 12

GGPoker, the World’s Biggest Poker Room, today announces the launch of online satellite tournaments for the WSOP-C Bratislava €1M-Guaranteed Main Event. This massive tournament headlines the upcoming WSOP Circuit Bratislava poker festival, which runs from August 1 through August 12 at Card Casino Bratislava and will be the sole WSOP-C stop in Slovakia this year.

WSOP-C Gold Ring & €1,000,000 Guaranteed

The WSOP-C Bratislava Main Event features a €1,500 buy-in, and the winning player will take home a coveted WSOP Circuit gold ring in addition to the largest slice of the €1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool.

Players do not need big bankrolls to begin their journey to WSOP Circuit Bratislava. GGPoker qualifiers start at just €1, so a modest investment could win a ticket for the series’ headline event—and maybe even lead to a deep run and that prestigious ring!

Satellites From €1

GGPoker players can qualify via three stages:

• €1 Step leading to
• €15 Step leading to
• €150 Final Phase Satellite

Players can buy in directly to any stage, and each €150 Final Phase Satellite guarantees at least three tickets to the €1,500 Main Event.

“The chance to qualify for the WSOP-C Bratislava Main Event for just €1 is hard to resist,” said Paul Burke, Head of PR at GGPoker. “With GGPoker’s online satellites, you can secure your seat from home and then make the trip to Bratislava for the live stages. We’re thrilled to bring this marquee tournament to Slovakia’s capital for the first time, putting world-class poker on players’ doorstep.”

Satellites are already available in the GGPoker tournament lobby, and the poker community can follow updates from the live festival on WSOP.com and Card Casino Bratislava’s social channels.

To ensure that WSOP Circuit Bratislava players enjoy the best experience possible, the festival will use the new WSOP+ application, which makes event registration, player tracking, and content sharing easier than ever before.

GoldenRace, the leading B2B provider of award-winning Virtual Sports and betting solutions, has announced a major innovation in its Crash Games: a new in-game live chat feature designed to transform solo gaming into shared, interactive experiences.

Crash games have long been synonymous with speed, intensity and instant gratification – but they’ve traditionally lacked a social element. Now, GoldenRace is changing that with a feature that brings real-time interaction to online casinos, turning every session into a community-driven event.

“We wanted to recreate what retail betting has delivered for centuries – a truly social experience – but adapted for the online casinos,” said Martin Wachter, CEO & Founder of GoldenRace. “We’re giving operators the tools to engage more players, build stronger communities and maximise one of the industry’s fastest-growing verticals.”

Research consistently shows that social presence significantly boosts player retention, session duration and brand loyalty – especially among younger audiences who expect interactive, connected experiences.

The new functionality enables a live chat with preset messages, emoji reactions and instant cash-out sharing directly within the game interface. Every interaction is tied to a visible username, allowing players to see and respond to one another’s actions as they happen. Even with the chatbox packed, floating messages and emojis ensure no moment goes unnoticed.

From an operational perspective, the feature is seamless to integrate and manage. All settings are controlled directly from the back office, with no additional technical effort required.

The upgrade is now live across GoldenRace’s most popular Crash titles:

• Meteoroid,
• Fire Crash,
• Jet Escape,
• Boom Ball Juggle
• Danfo Crash.

Unlock Crash Joker’s “Vault Break” bonus round for a shot at massive cash prizes

ACR Poker today formally launched Crash Joker, a brand-new progressive jackpot game designed for and by poker players. The launch follows successful beta testing on ACR Poker that has proven popular with players. As the first to introduce this new release from i3Soft, the trusted online poker site is bringing players a fresh, fast-paced gaming experience with a unique poker twist on the popular Crash casino game format.

Players really need to know when to hold ‘em and when to fold ‘em with this exciting addition to ACR Poker’s lineup. Crash Joker is all about timing, with every card dealt bringing players closer to the action, while challenging them to place their bets and watch as their winnings multiply with each card drawn. The tension builds as players must decide whether to cash out before the joker appears or keep going for a bigger multiple of the payout.

Adding to the excitement, players who hit a Four of a Kind or Straight Flush will trigger the explosive “Vault Break“ bonus round, where they compete for a share of the progressive jackpot, now sitting at over $5,000. And thanks to the “spillover effect”, even if players don’t win the big prize, they can still walk away with extra cash just for participating in the bonus round.

Crash Joker is already making waves, with several players enjoying some epic wins. Recent highlights include ACR Stormer UBPOKER turning a $1 bet into $1.5K, along with some jackpot moments like ‘grandof’ turning $1K into an $8.6K+ jackpot and ‘Happyface’ landing a $1K+ jackpot from a $2 bet. Other players jumping in on the action include ACR Stormer bigfishnoshrimp, who nearly hit a $200K win in one epic run. He cashed out for $130, but the multiplier kept climbing, eventually blasting past 7,000x.

“Crash Joker is so much fun! Simple concept, insanely fun execution. The game’s energy is infectious, and I love how every round surprises me,” said ACR Stormer UBPOKER. “Great game to jump into solo or with friends to see if you can strike the same cash out. A must-play for anyone who loves fast-paced, entertaining games that provide a big sweat for a huge multiplier.”

Crash Joker is now available to play exclusively on ACR Poker, with a mobile release soon on the horizon, bringing the fast-paced game to even more players, anytime, anywhere.
