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.

Octoplay is now live with StarCasinò, Betsson Group’s premier Italian casino brand, advancing its expansion in one of the world’s largest gambling markets. StarCasinò joins PokerStars and Sisal as the supplier’s third tier-one Italian integration in four months, underscoring Octoplay’s accelerating momentum. As global operators like Betsson Group continue to partner with Octoplay, the supplier is rapidly establishing itself as an emerging power in B2B gaming, backed by the industry’s most established names.

The StarCasinò partnership follows a clear pattern of acceleration in Italy. In January 2026, Octoplay went live with PokerStars and Sisal simultaneously, with StarCasinò now extending that run alongside a wider European rollout that includes recent launches with bet365 and BetVictor in the UK, Luckia in Spain, and Adjarabet in Georgia. Since Ralitsa Georgieva’s appointment as CEO, Octoplay has delivered a series of high-profile integrations across Europe’s most competitive regulated markets, demonstrating the strategic vision driving the company’s growth.

“StarCasinò is the third tier-one operator we have gone live with in Italy in the past months, and it reflects the pace at which we are building our presence in one of Europe’s most dynamic markets,” says Ralitsa Georgieva, CEO at Octoplay. “Betsson Group has set the standard for a high-performing casino brand in Italy, and the trust they have placed in our content reflects the quality we are delivering across the industry’s top operators.”

Fabio Denegri, Business Director Italy at Betsson Group, stated: “In the constant evolution of gaming, our priority remains the introduction of content that stands out for innovation and performance. Welcoming Octoplay means injecting pure energy into our offering: their titles are a perfect blend of fresh mechanics and cutting-edge design. We are confident that Octoplay’s content will resonate with Italian players, further strengthening our position as a benchmark for innovation in the regulated market.”

Octoplay holds active licenses in 17 jurisdictions, including the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, Sweden, the Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium, Finland, Greece, Romania, Malta, Slovakia, Georgia, Brazil, New Jersey, Michigan, and Ontario. Less than three years after going live, the company continues to expand its presence with tier-one operators across Europe, North America, and South America.

BetMGM, a leading sports betting and iGaming operator, announced a partnership with Tailgate Beach Club at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, Las Vegas’ newest sports and pop culture dayclub. Conceived by Clique Hospitality Group, the sports and pop culture poolside paradise will feature the BetMGM brand, enhancing the way fans experience live sports in a one-of-a-kind destination on the Las Vegas Strip.

As part of the collaboration, BetMGM will have a prominent presence throughout Tailgate Beach Club, including an on-site activation team to introduce new players to the BetMGM app, along with digital and static signage featuring live odds displays. The venue will serve as a gathering place for BetMGM players, with watch parties centered on marquee matchups and major sporting events. The activation builds on BetMGM’s broader presence across the Las Vegas Strip, which includes nine retail Sports Books at MGM Resorts properties.

“Tailgate Beach Club’s mission of blending the energy of Las Vegas dayclubs and sports into a signature venue goes straight to the heart of BetMGM’s DNA — creating legendary moments players can’t get anywhere else. This opportunity allows us to deliver incredible memories for fans, introduce our product to new audiences, and reinforce our Las Vegas roots,” said Matt Prevost, Chief Revenue Officer at BetMGM.

Steps away from Allegiant Stadium, Tailgate Beach Club features heated pools, premium cabanas and more than 125 feet of LED screens to deliver a 360-degree viewing experience for up to 2000 guests. The venue combines live DJs, games, and a high-energy poolside atmosphere with game-day bites and beverages.

Tailgate Beach Club underscores Nevada’s central role in BetMGM’s strategy as the epicenter of its omnichannel advantage, uniting premier MGM Resorts destinations with a leading digital betting platform. Activating at a flagship Strip location where live entertainment and sports culture converge allows BetMGM to further strengthen its connection between in–venue experiences and online wagering.

“Tailgate Beach Club was built to bring that game day energy into a setting you can only find in Las Vegas. Partnering with BetMGM takes that experience to another level, giving fans more ways to engage with the action while enjoying the atmosphere, service and entertainment we’re creating at Tailgate,” said Andy Masi, Founder of Clique Hospitality.
