The Coolbet Open is coming to Tallinn on September 1-6 at the Hilton Tallinn Park Hotel and Olympic Park Casino, and if you want to be there, the online path is already open. The Coolbet Open Online 2026 runs August 10-23 with 14 tournaments, buy-ins from €20, and a €20,000 GTD Main Event. Every final table player in every event is entered into the draw for a Coolbet Open Live Package worth €1,600.
Fourteen events. Fourteen live packages in play. That is the pitch, and it is a strong one worth getting involved with tons of value and fun.
What Is the Coolbet Open Online?
The Coolbet Open Online is the online warm-up series that runs every year in the weeks before the live festival, giving players across the region a shot at winning their way to Tallinn without leaving home. This year’s edition runs August 10-23 with 14 tournaments covering the full range of formats: NLH Turbo Deepstack, PKO, 6-Max, PLO 4, Freezeout, Heads Up, Mystery Bounty, Seniors, PLO 5, Ladies, High Roller, Hyper Turbo, PLO Mystery Bounty, and the NLH Main Event on August 23. Buy-ins start at €20 and run up to €300 for the High Roller on August 20, which carries a €12,000 GTD prize pool.
The Main Event on August 23 is the headline of the online series. The €100 buy-in with re-entry keeps it accessible, the €20,000 guarantee makes it worth taking seriously, and it runs on the final night of the series, meaning anyone who has been grinding the earlier events all month has one last shot at the biggest prize pool and the biggest package draw of the Coolbet Open Online. If you only play one event in the series, this is the one.
The Live Package That Makes It Worth Playing
Here is what makes the Coolbet Open Online more than a standard online series: one Coolbet Open Live Package worth €1,600 will be raffled among the final table players of every single tournament. That means 14 packages across 14 events. Make a final table in any event and you are in the draw for a package that includes hotel accommodation September 1-6 at the live venue, a €550 Main Event ticket, €200 in travel money, and a gift from Coolbet.
A fully funded trip to the live festival, with entry into the €550 Main Event included, for as little as a €20 buy-in online. One package is drawn per event, with all final table players from that event in the draw. Make a final table and your name goes in. One player walks away with the full package.

What You Are Warming Up For: The Coolbet Open Live
The Coolbet Open Online feeds directly into the ninth edition of the Coolbet Open, which takes over Hilton Tallinn Park Hotel and Olympic Park Casino from September 1-6. As we covered at poker.pro in July, this year’s edition is a homecoming of sorts: Olympic Park Casino was the original venue for the very first Coolbet Open back in 2018, and the festival has not been back since. Eight editions on, it returns to where it started.
The live festival runs 30-plus tournaments across six days, anchored by the €550 NLH Main Event. The schedule includes Mystery Bounty and Progressive Bounty events, PLO formats, mixed games including Sviten and TORSES, a dedicated Ladies event, and a €250 T.O.R.S.E.S. that is one of the more distinctive side events you will find on any Baltic poker calendar. Daily satellites and late-night hyper turbos keep action running from midday through the early hours throughout the week.
The Coolbet Open Live Package that gets drawn at every online final table covers the full experience: hotel September 1-6, €550 Main Event ticket, €200 travel money, and a Coolbet gift. For anyone who has been in Tallinn for the WSOP Circuit this week, you already know the venue and you already know the city. September is four weeks away. The online series starts August 10. There is time to qualify, and the path in starts at €2.
