Naturally, The Festival Online 2024 comes with its own unique Leaderboard, available from August 3rd to August 19th. In this article, we're going to tell you everything you need to know about it, from the way points and acquired to the nitty and gritty Terms and Conditions that come with - no stone will be left unturned.
Leaderboard Accessibility
As you may already know, for the first time in the history of series, The Festival Online will be collaborating with the iPoker Network. This entails that The Festival Online Leaderboard will be available on 12 opted-in out of 29 possible operators making use of the iPoker Network, offering The Festival Online.
However, just being able to access the iPoker Network is not enough. The leaderboard will only be accessible to countries where it is allowed to partake in leaderboards and win eventual added prizes. This means that players coming from countries such as Sweden, Netherlands, and Turkey will not be able to partake in The Festival Online Leaderboard.
How To Score Leaderboard Points
