The upcoming Moneymaker Main Event will take place at The Casino Aruba, and feature a guaranteed prize pool of $200,000

The Moneymaker Tour has announced a new partnership with The Caribbean Poker Series to host the first international Moneymaker Main Event in Aruba in October 4 – 6, 2024.

Set against the backdrop of Aruba’s stunning beaches and lively culture, The Moneymaker Tour will coincide with the $300,000 guaranteed Caribbean Poker Series, which will take place at The Casino Aruba at Hilton from September 26 to October 6, and offer players of all levels the chance to compete for prestigious prizes.

“A collaboration between Moneymaker Poker Tour and The Caribbean Poker Series will create a synergy that benefits both organizations, as well as poker players and fans around the world,” said Craig Evans, Managing Director of the Caribbean Poker Series.

The Moneymaker Tour Main Event will bring players three days of fun poker action from Friday, October 4 to Sunday, October 6, 2024. The $1,500 buy-in Main Event, will bolster a guaranteed prize pool of $200,000.

Established by 2003 WSOP Champion and ACR Team Pro, Chris Moneymaker and Moneymaker Tour Executive Manager, Tony Burns in 2023, the Moneymaker Tour was conceived as a way to provide poker players with the opportunity to experience their own ordinary to extraordinary moments, mirroring Moneymaker’s journey.

“Chris Moneymaker’s Main Event win in 2003 not only had an impact on poker in the United States, but around the globe. We are excited to partner with the Caribbean Poker Series to host our first international Moneymaker Tour Main Event”, said Tony Burns, Executive Manager.

The Moneymaker Tour, which saw its inaugural stop in May 2023, has been steadily increasing in popularity. Its second series of 2024 at Palm Beach Kennel Club in Florida, drew players from around the globe, where Pavlos Kasselouris seized victory in the $500,000 guaranteed Main Event, claiming $121,485 in prize money and the coveted Moneymaker crystal trophy.

The Tour’s current stop at Daytona Beach, Florida wraps up today, and after paying out over $600,000 in guaranteed prize pools.

Following the event at Daytona Beach, the Moneymaker Tour will return to Palm Beach Kennel Club in Florida from May 2-14, 2024.

QTech Games, the leading game aggregator for all emerging markets, has signed its latest supplier partnership with global B2B content developer and provider Yoriginal Games, enabling its platform customers to access the supplier’s expansive slots catalogue.

Yoriginal’s popular titles are crafted for the new wave in igaming: short-session players, mobile-first users, and operators who want real GGR performance. These eclectic games are also recognised for their player-retention features and sticky mechanics, and draw from Yoriginal Games’ deeper well of crash, scratch, slot and more traditional table-games content.

These games are light and lightning-fast to load, providing a ready solution to overcoming local obstacles to engagement in emerging markets, like Africa and LatAm, such as handset quality limitations, restricted access to fast networks, and high data costs.

This breakthrough announcement with QTech now affords the supplier unprecedented international reach across more emerging markets. In turn, incorporating this ever-evolving production line emphasizes QTech Games’ diverse range of gaming options, providing a definitive one-stop shop, which has fast become the “go-to” solution for worldwide operators across developing territories.

As the fastest-growing aggregator over the past few years, QTech’s platform offers the most expansive gaming portfolio around, localised for each region, with native mobile apps, powerful reporting and marketing tools, and 24/7 local-language support.

QTech Games CEO, Philip Doftvik, said: “We’re committed to rolling out more and more high-class content and product innovation that drives revenue for our partners. So, this deal with Yoriginal Games extends our impressive sequential pipeline for 2026 – and showcases our flexible array of content which solves for fine-grained, local requirements in countries where light, rapid-load games are a must. Their games are sleek and modern in design, backed by robust analytics to drive higher engagement and prolonged dwell-time.”

Kirill Bykov, CEO at Yoriginal Games, added: “At Yoriginal Games, we specialize in fast-paced, original casino games that bring instant excitement and big wins, crash, mines, dice, limbo, plinko, keno, blackjack, roulette and more. And while we’ve initially specialised in fast games, we also offer our premium aggregator partners, like QTech, access to our signature YOpen RGS program for developers, whereby QTech can benefit from even more of our partner slots content this year, above all in the domain of localised games.

“QTech’s platform is a gateway to global audiences, and we can’t wait to see how our highly engaging games perform across a largely greenfield landscape of emerging markets for Yoriginal.”

Allwyn UK, operator of The National Lottery, has become the Official Volunteer Learning and Development Partner of Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games.

More than 3000 volunteers will be at the heart of the action when the Games return to Glasgow this year from 23 July to 2 August. The partnership will support the delivery of a training programme that will ensure every volunteer is ready to help stage a world-class festival of sport and culture.

Supporting thousands of Games volunteers

Allwyn backs the volunteering programme through its Social Value Fund, an annual £1 million fund that Allwyn finances to support initiatives as part of its commitment to operate The National Lottery in an environmentally and socially responsible way.

For Glasgow 2026, Allwyn’s investment gives all volunteers access to an exceptional online learning portal and in-person training. The programme equips volunteers for roles across event and venue support, transport, media services, content creation, athlete support, and ceremonies activity, ensuring every volunteer is ready to help deliver a world-class festival of sport and culture.

As part of its commitment to creating lasting social value, Allwyn is enabling colleagues to join the Glasgow 2026 volunteering team. This initiative ensures Allwyn’s commitment to volunteering translates into tangible on-the-ground impact and supports the smooth delivery of the Games for athletes, spectators and communities across Scotland.

Post‑event evaluation will also be carried out to measure the programme’s impact and ensure the benefits of volunteering continue long after the final medal of the Games is won.

Eilidh Doyle to champion Glasgow 2026 volunteers

Eilidh Doyle, Scotland’s most decorated Track and Field athlete, is supporting the campaign to highlight the vital role of volunteers. Doyle, a three-time Commonwealth Games silver medallist — including at Glasgow 2014 — and Team Scotland flagbearer at Gold Coast 2018, will work with Allwyn as an ambassador to celebrate and champion the volunteers who are “the heartbeat” of the Games.

Scottish Para Cyclist Fin Graham, the reigning Paralympic and world champion who hopes to represent Team Scotland at Glasgow 2026, also attended the partnership launch at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome.

Andria Vidler, Chief Executive Officer of National Lottery operator, Allwyn, said: “The Commonwealth Games are a cornerstone of the sporting calendar and volunteers help make them exceptional. Allwyn is proud to power the Glasgow 2026 volunteer programme through our Social Value Fund, helping ensure every volunteer is ready to deliver a world-class Games.

“I’m especially pleased that colleagues from across Allwyn will join the 3000‑strong volunteer team – an experience that will benefit the Games, local communities and our people alike.”

Diane McLeod, Director of Workforce and Games Services at Glasgow 2026, said: “Our campaign for Glasgow 2026 volunteers had an incredible response with thousands of individuals putting themselves forward to support the Games to return to Glasgow. We’re now in the selection phase, reviewing applications and creating a diverse group of both experienced and first-time volunteers to bring the Games to life.

“Their passion is reflective of the spirit of the Commonwealth Games and with Allwyn’s support we can deliver an enhanced volunteer training programme that will prepare more than 3000 volunteers for this Summer’s event.”

Eilidh Doyle said: “As an athlete, I can tell you that volunteers are integral to the success of a Games. They are the brilliantly efficient army working behind the scenes to ensure everything runs on time and to create a legacy of community impact. I have discovered the joy of volunteering for myself, supporting as a volunteer within schools and Scottish Athletics.

“Glasgow is one of the most passionate sporting cities on the planet, and I’m sure the volunteers will enhance its reputation as a host of world-class events. I can’t wait to help show how our 2026 volunteers will once again be the legends of the Games.”
