OlyBet dominates Baltic poker with record 2025 tournaments and bold new series
OlyBet has become the leading organiser of live poker events across Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. The company runs some of Europe’s most notable tournaments, from high-stakes festivals to smaller, well-regarded series.
In 2025 alone, its events have drawn players to major cities like Tallinn, Riga and Vilnius, offering substantial prize pools and unique themes.
Among OlyBet’s flagship events are the Kings of festivals, recognised as some of Europe’s biggest live poker tournaments. These high-profile series sit alongside the OlyBet Showdowns, smaller but respected competitions that attract dedicated players.
The 2025 schedule included the **OlyBet Showdown Riga Voodoo Edition**, where the €1,100 Main Event featured a €142,500 prize pool. Another highlight was the **Ace Breaker** in Vilnius, with its €555 Main Event drawing competitive fields. Beyond mixed-gender tournaments, OlyBet also hosts the **Queens of Tallinn**, one of the few women-only live poker festivals in the world. This initiative stands out in a traditionally male-dominated scene. The company’s portfolio expanded further with the **No Filter Poker Series**, a new live series created by Mounir Tajiou. This addition reflects OlyBet’s push to diversify its offerings and attract fresh talent. Alongside its own events, OlyBet co-organises the annual **WSOP Circuit Tallinn**, a key stop on the World Series of Poker’s international tour. The 2025 edition saw Jenny Westerlund take down the Main Event, reinforcing the festival’s prestige.
OlyBet’s events now span major tournaments, themed series and inclusive festivals. With growing prize pools and partnerships, the organiser continues to shape live poker in the Baltics. Its mix of established brands and new formats ensures a steady flow of competitions for players of all levels.
