The $8 Million Mystery Bounty Venom and $2 Million PLO Venom are coming to ACR Poker in August. Now, the popular online poker site is getting players warmed up in a big way with the $1 Million guaranteed Venom Warmup starting Sunday, July 7th.

The Venom Warmup tournament has a $1 Million guaranteed prize pool and a buy-in of just $55. There are even paths for players to qualify for free, making it even more of a bargain.

“We’ve never run a tournament before that had this large a guarantee for such a small buy-in,” stated ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker. “We hope everyone takes advantage as it’s the perfect lead-in to our dual Venom tourneys running in August.”

The $1 Million Venom Warmup has 192 total Day 1 flights from July 7th to 28th, providing almost unlimited options. Day 2 will take place on Sunday, July 28th at 4:05pm ET and the Final Table on Monday, July 29th at 2:05pm ET.

Moneymaker went on to add that one of the interesting things about this tourney is players can compete in multiple Day 1’s and combine their chip stack.

Alongside the Venom Warmup, ACR Poker is running its Venom Fever satellites, designed to provide players with hundreds of affordable opportunities to secure their $2,650 seats to the $8 Million Mystery Bounty and $2 Million PLO Venom tourneys coming in August. Highlights include 900 guaranteed seats for the Venom Mystery Bounty and 100 guaranteed seats for the Venom PLO via satellites

The Venom Mystery Bounty and PLO tourneys will guarantee a total of $10 million

The summer is heating up for No Limit Hold’em and Pot Limit Omaha players at ACR Poker. The popular online poker site will debut its biggest Mystery Bounty and PLO tournaments ever this August, with a total of $10 million in guarantees.

Running in parallel, the Venom Mystery Bounty and PLO tournaments will each have five Day 1 flights starting from Sunday, August 4, with Day 2 starting on Monday, August 19.

ACR Poker’s first-ever Venom Mystery Bounty tournament boasts a staggering $8 million guaranteed prize pool. Players can play multiple Day 1 flights to accumulate their chip stack and can win big on Day 2 by running deep or by collecting a bounty prize up to $500,000 every time they knock out a player.

Every knockout guarantees a bounty of at least $5,000.

As ACR Poker’s first Venom Omaha event, the $2 million guaranteed Venom PLO will see the winner take home an estimated top prize of $400,000, cementing their place in poker history. Like the Venom Mystery Bounty tournament, the Venom PLO will be multi-entry, giving players multiple opportunities to build a bigger stack through multiple Day 1 flights.

“We’re excited to be running our largest Mystery Bounty and PLO tournaments ever,” said ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker. “Whether you’re a fan of Mystery Bounty or PLO, we’ve got you covered! With $10 million in combined guarantees and the opportunity to win big through knockout bounties, now is the time to take your shot at these massive events.”

Moneymaker also noted that players can win their $2,650 seat to these big tournaments for a fraction of the cost during ACR Poker’s Venom Fever satellite extravaganza. With 900 Venom Mystery Bounty tourney seats guaranteed through a variety of satellites, including The Beast, Venom Madness, and Mega satellites, and 100 Venom PLO seats guaranteed through Direct satellites, there are plenty of chances for players to join the action.

Aftermath Interactive AB, a Sweden-based independent game studio, and Hensel Grad P.C., a U.S. gaming law and advisory firm, announced a strategic agreement to develop a skill-based poker game for launch in the US.

The strategic agreement partners Aftermath Interactive’s innovative game development expertise with Hensel Grad’s deep knowledge of U.S. gaming laws and regulation. Together the companies will create a truly skill-based digital poker experience. The concept builds on Aftermath Interactive’s free-to-play game Hands of Victory which is currently in early soft-launch. Non-US players can try the game out by participating in tournaments hosted on the Challengermode platform.

“Our vision leverages patent-approved technology and our Hands of Victory IP to evolve poker as a competitive skill game and provide players with fun, new ways to showcase poker-related skills while competing for prize money. By introducing novel, skill-enhancing game mechanics, more action oriented, character-based gameplay and a dynamic, decision-based scoring system, we believe a pay-to-enter version of Hands of Victory can fill a profound hole in the US market. Thanks to this strategic agreement we can now explore various paths to deliver that vision transparently and in line with state and federal laws,” Kim Lund, CEO of Aftermath Interactive, said.

Hensel Grad will draw on its knowledge of gaming laws and regulations to help shape the pay-to-enter version of Hands of Victory game for the US in a manner that ensures the game qualifies as a game of skill under state laws.

“U.S. courts have long held that traditional poker is a game of chance and, therefore, subject to state gambling laws. The Hands of Victory game is different from traditional poker. It will equip players with a wide range of tactical tools to put an entertaining and engaging twist on poker and will be unlike any other game currently available to U.S. players,” Susan Hensel, Co-founder and Partner of Hensel Grad, said.

Aftermath Interactive is a start-up game studio run by gaming veterans with 50+ years combined experience in crafting, operating, and promoting games including gambling games. Hensel Grad is a firm established by former gaming regulators to assist gaming companies in navigating the often complex and disparate U.S. state-based regulatory environment. By agreeing to work together, the companies will optimize one another’s knowledge to offer U.S. poker players and other gamers a fresh opportunity to demonstrate and develop their game playing skills.
