EvenBet Gaming, a leading developer of online gaming software and solutions, is set to strengthen its player engagement suite with the debut of One-Click Poker at ICE Barcelona 2026, a new product designed to remove traditional barriers for both players and operators.
Showcased for the first time at the conference, One-Click Poker introduces a no-lobby, cash-game-only format, allowing players to enter a multiplayer poker table instantly with a single click.
By stripping away complex lobbies, tournaments and long onboarding flows, the product delivers a poker experience as intuitive as a slot or table game but with real players, retaining the player-versus-player structure, which has proven a more effective engagement format than player-versus-casino.
The new solution builds on EvenBet’s wider strategy of simplifying poker without sacrificing its social and competitive core. Following the launch of Spins Poker in November 2025, which blended poker mechanics with fast-paced casino-style gameplay, One-Click Poker represents the next evolution: bringing multiplayer cash poker directly into the casino environment in a frictionless format.
Designed specifically for casino operators, One-Click Poker offers simplified management tools, reduced fraud risk through the absence of tournaments, and the ability to share liquidity across networked cash tables from day one.
For players, particularly beginners, the experience removes the need to understand formats, stakes or table selection, creating a more accessible entry point to poker.
At ICE, EvenBet will demonstrate Texas Hold’em in the One-Click Poker format, with plans to convert the majority of its 40+ game portfolio throughout 2026.
Dmitry Starostenkov, CEO at EvenBet Gaming, said: “Poker has always struggled with accessibility, particularly in casino environments where players expect to click and play. Spins Poker showed that multiplayer poker can thrive when it adopts the pace and simplicity of casino games, and One-Click Poker takes that philosophy even further.
“This is about removing friction for players who may be curious about poker but put off by its complexity, and for operators who want a ready-made, low-maintenance solution with immediate liquidity. ICE Barcelona is the perfect place to introduce this next step.”

GGPoker, the World’s Biggest Poker Room, is proud to announce the upcoming launch of Ocean Rewards, a brand-new player loyalty program set to premiere on January 30, 2026.

Key Benefits of Ocean Rewards
-
Higher Cashback: Players can now receive up to 80% cashback, with improved rates available across all tiers
-
Guaranteed Yearly Status: Unlike the previous program, which focused on shorter timeframes, Ocean Rewards allows players to lock in their tier status until the end of the following year, providing greater peace of mind and stability
-
Simplified Earning: Players earn Tide Points and Gems through play. As players reach higher tiers – ranging from Fish to Shark – the rate at which Gems are earned increases, following the simple motto: “Collect more, Earn more”
Sarne Lightman, Managing Director of GGPoker, commented on the upcoming launch: “With Ocean Rewards, we are taking our commitment to players to the next level. We wanted to move away from the short-term grind and create a program that truly honors loyalty with long-term security. By offering guaranteed yearly status and raising the cashback ceiling to an industry-leading 80%, we ensure that every player – whether a casual enthusiast or a dedicated professional – gets more value than ever before. This is the evolution of rewards our community deserves.”
Transition for Existing Players
The transition on January 30 will be automatic. Players do not need to take any action to opt in. Existing Fish Buffet rewards will be automatically cashed out to player balances, and accounts will be instantly upgraded to their new Ocean Rewards tier.
