Online poker’s top professionals from around the world are battling it out now until December 7 on offshore crypto poker site CoinPoker, for real money prizes, bragging rights and the title of cash game world champion.
The 2025 High Stakes Cash Game World Championship (CGWC) promotion began on November 10, in association with PokerStrategy.com which records the leaderboard rankings.
The Best of the Best Online Poker Site Regulars
At the time of writing DavyJones922, already considered one of the best real money online poker site regs in the world, is in pole position with over 150,000 USDT in winnings after 4000 hands played.
Hot on his heels are the likes of last year’s winner Owen ‘PR0DIGY’ Messere, SeaLlama, Kayhan Mokri, Asianflushie, Barak ‘iWasOnly17’ Wisbrod, Jasam Gale, Yolan Cohen and more famous names, amongst dozens of up and coming pros.
Linus ‘LLinusLLove’ Loeliger, also one of the best online poker site sharks on the planet, is currently running $40k under EV and down over six figures but is still one to watch in the coming weeks. He’s played almost 15000 hands, second only in volume to Riggedeck’s 20,000 hands – an anonymous poker pro who is running very hot, $85k above EV.
At peak times on the offshore poker site, which accepts worldwide players thanks to hosting games in the stablecoin cryptocurrency Tether – equivalent to real money, pegged to USD – twelve tables of the Cash Game World Championship have been running, at 50/100 USDT stakes.
12 tables of the Cash Game World Championship running in the CoinPoker lobbyThe decentralized online poker site also accepts USDC, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and fiat currency in some countries for deposits. Making use of the transparency of blockchain technology, its proof of reserves are visibly backed 1:1 in cold storage wallets and its provably fair RNG utilizes the same secure cryptographic technology that powers the Ethereum network (KECCAK-256).
Rake Free Poker Games
On CGWC tables, CoinPoker charges zero rake to encourage the best online poker players to compete against each other, purely to test their mettle and for the love of the game – without needing to factor in rake eating away their profits while playing with a thin edge against the best of the best. The poker site will also award a custom Rolex valued at $35k to the eventual world champion.
To make the event more interesting for railbirds, some tables also automatically show the winning players’ cards at showdown, and players must sit at one or more of those show tables. Many tables also have antes to encourage action. Read more about the mechanics of the CGWC promotion on the CoinPoker website.
Entertaining players are also invited to exclusive Sunday VIP games to play against some of the site’s ambassadors – yesterday popular US YouTuber in the poker and casino niche, Ryan Depaulo, was the ambassador players went up against. In one incredible hand, Linus Loeliger called Ryan’s all-in river bluff with just 8 high to win a 12,500 USDT pot.
This Texas Hold’em competition follows on from the Pot Limit Omaha CGWC CoinPoker held last month, which crowned anonymous poker grinder ‘godfromstock’ the world champion of online PLO cash games.
Online poker tournament players aren’t left out of the promotions mix either – the site’s ‘CoinMasters’ promo is a multi-month schedule of MTTs which awards one lucky player with a live poker tournament package valued at $100,000, including a WSOP main event buy-in.
The best online poker tournament player – reigning WSOP Online main event champion Benjamin ‘Bencb’ Rolle is also an ambassador for CoinPoker.
If you’re just a beginner there’s also the Black Friday Cyber Stacks promotion which airdrops free cash to random players at the tables, amongst other forms of rewards aimed at microstakes players.
Watch The Cash Game World Championship
Full live streams of the action can be viewed on the PokerStrategy YouTube channel, with highlights on CoinPoker’s channel and also on ambassador Bobby James’ YouTube.
Huge pots and bluffs have so far made it onto Card Player Magazine, PokerScout and more publications, many of which rate CoinPoker the best online poker site for real money play, citing its 33% rakeback and 150% up to $2000 signup bonus, plus a full casino, sportsbook and futures trading platform, CoinFutures.
In one stream this week, SeaLlama – considered another of the best online poker site crushers – joined the commentary booth while playing in the event himself.
Other commentators include the likes of Australian poker pro Koray ‘KakiTee’ Turker, the UK’s Owen Messere, French former esports professional Yoan Merlo and various international players that took part in the mid stakes Cash Game World Championship earlier this year. Scottish poker pro Gary ‘GazzyB’ Blackwood also joined the booth for the VIP game.
