Who Qualifies
The giveaway is built for players who have never played on CoinPoker. The One’s own terms also apply to every ticket we hand out:
- You must be a new CoinPoker player with no previous account.
- You must register with the code VIPCOIN.
- You must deposit at least $50 before qualifying closes.
- Your account must be verified and in good standing, as The One’s terms require.
- Tickets go to the first 40 players who meet all of the above.
The One Ticket Winners
We publish the 40 winners here on Thursday, October 8 in the evening, or by Friday, October 9 at 12:00 CEST / 10:00 UTC at the latest. The list shows CoinPoker screen names only.
Tickets are credited as soon as possible after the list goes up. Even a Friday noon list leaves up to 11 Day 1 flights to choose from.
What Is The One on CoinPoker?
The One is CoinPoker’s flagship yearly tournament, with a $5,000,000 guaranteed prize pool and $1,000,000 for first place. It is the biggest guarantee in the room’s history, and the event runs across 26 Day 1 flights.
The champion also receives a one of a kind engraved trophy and a digital trophy for their CoinPoker Trophy Cabinet. This is the first edition, so this year’s winner holds a title nobody else can ever take.
| The One | Details |
|---|---|
| Buy-in | $250 |
| Guaranteed Prize Pool | $5,000,000 |
| First Place | $1,000,000, which is 4,000 times the buy-in |
| Day 1 Flights | 26, from October 4 to 12 |
| Day 2 | October 12 |
| Format | Play as many flights as you like, your biggest stack advances |
The One Schedule and Flight Times
Three Day 1 flights run every day from October 4 to 11. The final two flights on October 12 use a turbo structure with faster blinds, and Day 2 starts later that day.
All times are in UTC and CEST, which is the local time in Malta, Poland, Italy and Czechia until October 25.
How Day 2 Qualification Works
You can play as many Day 1 flights as you like. If you bag chips in more than one, only your biggest stack moves on to Day 2:
- Pay $250 for a flight and reach Day 2, and that buy-in comes back to you in cash.
- Qualify again from a later paid flight and that buy-in is refunded as well.
- Each extra qualifying stack from a paid flight is paid out at the Day 2 minimum cash prize instead of taking a second seat.
What a Free Ticket Is Worth
At $250 a seat, The One needs at least 20,000 entries to cover its $5,000,000 guarantee. If the field falls short, CoinPoker pays the difference itself, and poker players call that gap an overlay.
An overlay adds value for everyone in the field, and our guide on how tournament overlays work shows how to spot one. With a free ticket, your $50 deposit stays in your balance while you play for the same prizes as everyone else.
Ticket Entries vs Paid Entries
A ticket entry plays exactly like a paid one at the tables. The difference is in the extras, because The One’s terms reserve them for real money entries.
| Free VIP-Grinders Ticket | Paid $250 Entry | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost of the Seat | Nothing, your $50 deposit stays yours | $250 |
| Buy-in Refund on Reaching Day 2 | No, there is no buy-in to refund | Yes, paid in cash |
| Counts for the Re-Entry Promo | No | Re-entries only, not the first entry |
| Prize Money | Same payouts | Same payouts |
If your ticket entry busts, you can still re-enter with real money. That paid entry then follows the normal rules.
Playing a Huge Field
A field this size rewards patience more than flashy plays. The goal on Day 1 is to bag a stack, not to win the flight:
- Pick a flight that fits your day, because a tired session costs more chips than any bad beat.
- Avoid big flips in the early levels, when stacks are deep and your edge comes from postflop play.
- Expect shorter stacks in the turbo flights, where faster blinds push play towards shove or fold spots.
- Tighten up as your flight nears its end, because a short stack on Day 2 still has a shot at $1,000,000.

Other Ways Into The One
A free ticket from us is the quickest way in, but CoinPoker runs its own routes into Day 1 until October 12. Here is every option and what it costs.
| Route | Cost | Runs |
|---|---|---|
| Freerolls | Free | September 29 to October 12 |
| Step Satellites | From $0.20 | September 29 to October 12 |
| Direct Satellites | $1, $12.50, $25 or $50 | September 29 to October 12 |
| Re-Entry Promo | The 3 players with the most paid re-entries each day win a ticket | October 4 to 11 |
| Direct Buy-in | $250 | October 4 to 12 |
Freerolls feed into step satellites, which feed into direct satellites, so a seat without spending anything is possible. The Re-Entry Promo leaderboard resets at 00:00 UTC every day.
Missed Out on a Ticket?
Players who sign up with VIPCOIN after the first 40 still get the 150% welcome bonus up to $2,000 on their first deposit. The poker version clears at 10 times the bonus in poker fees within 30 days.
The satellites above stay open until October 12. You can also browse all our exclusive poker promotions for freerolls and rake races at other rooms.

The One FAQ
How do I get a free ticket to The One on CoinPoker?
Register a new CoinPoker account through VIP-Grinders with the code VIPCOIN and deposit at least $50 by Thursday, October 8. The first 40 new players to complete both steps each get a $250 ticket.
What is the CoinPoker promo code for The One?
The code is VIPCOIN. It makes new players eligible for our free ticket offer and also gives a 150% welcome bonus up to $2,000.
What happens if I am not one of the first 40 players?
You keep the 150% welcome bonus from VIPCOIN. You can still reach The One through freerolls, satellites from $0.20 or a $250 direct buy-in until October 12.
Can I use my free ticket on any Day 1 flight?
Yes, the ticket works for any eligible Day 1 flight. The last chance to use it is the turbo flight at 14:00 UTC on October 12.
Does a free ticket qualify for the buy-in refund?
No. The refund returns the buy-in paid for a flight, so it only applies to real money entries. Ticket entries also do not count towards the Re-Entry Promo.
What time are The One Day 1 flights?
From October 4 to 11, three flights run daily at 13:30, 16:30 and 19:30 UTC. Two turbo flights run on October 12 at 12:30 and 14:00 UTC, before Day 2.
Is The One a re-entry tournament?
Yes. You can re-enter after busting and play as many Day 1 flights as you like. If you qualify more than once, only your biggest stack goes to Day 2.
18+. New CoinPoker players only, and The One’s full terms and conditions apply. Please play responsibly.
