Powered by OlyBet, the event has significantly grown in popularity over the past decade—so much so that a brand new “Kings of Vilnius” festival was established in 2024 to support the growing interest in poker in the Baltics. Renowned for its unforgettable atmosphere and cool vibes, the event promises loads of fun, high-stakes poker and adrenaline for both newcomers and seasoned pros alike.
Hosted in the Olympic Park Casino and the Hilton Tallinn Park between February 6 and 15, the Kings of Tallinn Poker Festival will feature a record-breaking 74 tournament schedule with live coverage, including the €1,100 Main Event with a guaranteed €1,000,000 prize pool and 24/7 cash games.
Ten days full of action and high-stakes poker await attendees who, as in previous years, also have the chance to join the OlyBet Team Challenge, perfect for individuals who enjoy the motivation that comes from being part of a strong, team-driven environment.
Free to enter, the challenge lets you compete in teams of four and automatically collect points for your team when participating in events. Interestingly enough, the organizers decided to introduce one important change compared to previous years: “All events now qualify for points. This means the Queens events reserved for women only will now earn valuable points. Players can also earn a participation point for each satellite they play in,” OlyBet emphasizes on their website. While signing up for the team event is possible on the spot, the organizer recommends registering beforehand at OlyBetEvents.com.
Kings of Tallinn will also feature two female-only tournaments, the €250 NLH Queens on Feb. 8 and the €555 NLH Queens on Feb. 11, as well as its first-ever €555 NLH Senior’s Event on Feb. 10 for players at least 50 years of age. Some of the events also include:
- Event #1: FREEBUY NLH Mega-Satellite, €20 Rebuys & Add-On, 10 x €200 Mini-Main Event Seats GTD!
- Event #11: €350 Open-face Chinese Pineapple, 3-handed, Final 4 Play with One Sitting out
- Event #35: €200 NLH Celebrity Special, Surprise Bounty Envelopes On Celebrity Players!
- Event #65: €555 NLH Valentine’s Day Special, Two Players Taking Turns Playing One Stack, Both Must Play Min. Three Levels, Team Attendance Points to Both!
If you are participating in the event, please bring a valid ID and closely follow the organizer’s instructions. Accommodation options include the Hilton Tallinn Park Hotel, Hampton by Hilton Tallinn, Ibis Tallinn Center, and Mövenpick Hotel Tallinn. Due to increased demand, we recommend booking accommodation as soon as possible.
However, if you can’t attend, don’t despair! Kings of Tallinn is merely one of the MANY exciting poker festivals coming in 2026, including the European Poker Tour (EPT) in Barcelona, the Irish Open, or the 57th World Series of Poker hosted in Las Vegas.
Prior to the event, it’s best to take a moment to prepare so you can fully enjoy the experience without any hiccups. As exciting as they are, poker festivals can also be very busy, fast-paced, and a little overwhelming–not to mention the huge sensory and dopamine overload. If this is your first ever festival of this kind, make sure to closely read the organizer’s instructions, freshen up on responsible gaming tips on websites like Casino Guru, and (most importantly) have fun!
Event #74 Kings of Tallinn 2026 Player’s Party will take place at OlyBet Bar & Grill in Tallinn’s picturesque Old Town— the cherry on top that will bring the series to a memorable and celebratory close. If everything goes as planned, the festival is expected to once again shatter previous attendance records and cement its reputation as one of Europe’s most anticipated poker events of the year.
