Following a hugely successful first event in Cincinnati, Ohio in September 2023, the Moneymaker Tour is returning to the Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati on September 17 – 30, 2024 with a packed schedule that will guarantee more than $1 million across 15 trophy events. 

In September 2023’s inaugural stop at Hard Rock Cincinnati, the $1,500 Main Event was contested by 788 players and won by Joseph Bakun for $208,034. He was joined at the final table by Chris Moneymaker himself and WSOP Champion Joseph McKeehen and as well as the top cash prize, he also took home a crystal Moneymaker Tour trophy and a guitar trophy.

The Moneymaker Tour was created in 2023 by 2003 WSOP Champion and ACR Team Pro, Chris Moneymaker and Moneymaker Tour Executive Manager, Tony Burns. The Tour was conceived as a way for Moneymaker to give poker players opportunities to have their own ordinary to extraordinary moments as he did.

Despite its relative newcomer status, the Moneymaker Tour has made a name for itself, recently being voted the third most popular live poker tournament series behind only the World Series of Poker and the World Poker Tour, in a State of Poker survey. Since its inception, there have been eight events throughout Florida, Cincinnati and Houston.

The Tour has also recently announced new venues including a first visit to the birthplace of the Moneymaker boom with an event in Las Vegas from June 28 – July 6 at MGM Grand and its first international Main Event at Casino Aruba in October.

“Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati will team up with the Moneymaker Tour for a return in 2024” said Christopher Herbert, Hard Rock Cincinnati Manger of Poker & Sportsbook. “Hard Rock Cincinnati is grateful to be a part of the fastest growing poker tour in 2023. Chris Moneymaker, Tony Burns and their staff delivered an incredible experience for our guests during the 2023 Moneymaker Tour stop. There’s no better place to be in September 2024 than Cincinnati Ohio!”

“After an amazing series last September, we are excited to return to Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati”, said Tony Burns, Executive Manager of the Moneymaker Tour. “Continuing to partner with one of the most recognisable brands in the world amplifies our reach, resonates with our audience, and rocks our business to a whole other level.”

ThrillTech and SportingTech have signed a global partnership to integrate ThrillTech’s jackpot products into the SportingTech iGaming platform, the companies said on July 7, 2026. The integration is positioned for online casino and sports betting brands using SportingTech, with a stated focus on Latin America and Africa.

Under the agreement, SportingTech operator partners will get access to ThrillTech’s flagship product, ThrillPots. The companies describe ThrillPots as a player-funded side bet that layers over existing casino and sportsbook content via a secondary, opt-in transaction.

ThrillTech said the approach is designed to avoid changing the underlying game mathematics and to limit disruption to core gameplay. SportingTech framed the deal as part of its broader strategy to expand its technology ecosystem through specialist integrations aimed at helping operators launch and differentiate faster.

Peter Mareš, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer at ThrillTech, said: “Our partnership with SportingTech marks another significant milestone in our mission to make world-class jackpot technology accessible to operators worldwide. SportingTech’s robust platform and extensive footprint, particularly in dynamic regions like LatAm and Africa, make them an ideal partner and further accelerates our international rollout. Distributing multi-strategy payouts at scale requires absolute precision, and our technology is built to handle that complexity effortlessly. We are excited to see SportingTech’s operators leverage our player-funded jackpots to unlock new revenue streams and amplify their players’ experience.”

Nana Totoe, Chief Operating Officer at SportingTech, added: “At SportingTech, our focus is on giving operators the technology and partner ecosystem they need to build, expand and grow their businesses. Integrating ThrillTech’s innovative jackpot solution adds another powerful engagement capability to our platform, helping operators create more differentiated player experiences while unlocking new commercial opportunities.
