EVBETS LIVE Comes to Banco Bratislava: €300,000 Main Event and a New Level of Poker in Christmas Bratislava!
December in Bratislava has a truly unique atmosphere – Christmas markets, beautifully illuminated streets and a festive spirit throughout the historic city centre. This year, there will also be plenty of major poker action. From December 15–20, Banco Bratislava will welcome the brand-new EVBETS festival, making its debut with a €300,000 Main Event, attractive High Rollers, a wide variety of exciting side events and the Banco PlayZone with prizes worth several thousand euros. EVBETS is coming to Bratislava with one clear ambition – to take December poker to a new level!
€300,000 Main Event for €350
The highlight of the festival will be the EVBETS €300,000 Main Event with a €350 buy-in. In addition to the attractive prize pool, players can look forward to an excellent, player-friendly structure designed to provide plenty of room for real poker and strategic play.
One of the key features will be the qualification system used during the opening flights. Instead of each Day 1 ending after a predetermined number of levels, play will continue until only 10% of the original field in each flight remains. Those players will secure their seats in the next stage of the Main Event.
Every starting flight will therefore have one clear target – make the final 10% and continue the battle for the biggest share of the €300,000 prize pool.
High Rollers and Exciting Poker Formats
EVBETS will offer much more than just the Main Event. Across six days of festival action, players can expect a diverse schedule featuring different formats and higher-stakes tournaments.
Omaha fans can look forward to the PLO High Roller with a €690 buy-in, while No Limit Hold'em players will have the €20,000 NLH High Roller with a €690 buy-in waiting for them.
The festival will also feature a wide selection of side events, including NLH Progressive KO, Mystery Bounty and a Mix Event, alongside one of the most interesting new additions to the schedule – the Bomb Pot Championship.
The combination of traditional tournaments with fast-paced and less conventional poker formats will be one of the elements setting EVBETS apart from a standard poker festival.
The Action Doesn't Stop at the Poker Tables – Banco PlayZone Returns!
During EVBETS, the popular Banco PlayZone will also open its doors, taking the competitive spirit beyond the poker tables and into a completely different range of challenges.
Throughout the festival, players can take part in entertaining side activities, competitions and challenges. And it will not be just about having fun – prizes worth several thousand euros will be awarded in the Banco PlayZone.
EVBETS is therefore designed to be much more than simply playing a tournament and heading back to the hotel. The goal is to create a complete festival experience, with entertainment continuing even away from the poker tables.
Poker, Christmas and Bratislava
The festival dates of December 15–20 offer something players simply cannot experience during most of the poker calendar.
December is one of the most beautiful times of the year to visit Bratislava. The historic city centre comes alive with Christmas lights, traditional Christmas markets fill the main squares and the entire city takes on a special festive atmosphere.
And Banco Bratislava is located right in the heart of it all.
Players will have the perfect opportunity to combine a major international poker festival with a pre-Christmas stay in Bratislava – exploring the city and its Christmas markets before taking their seats at the tables to battle for hundreds of thousands of euros.
