TF Online 2024 – Full Recap of Successful Debut at the iPoker Network!


The Festival Online 2024, which ran from August 3rd to August 19th, proved to be an epic series of poker tournaments that captivated players from around the world. Hosted exclusively on the iPoker Network, the event featured a diverse range of games, formats, and stakes, making it available for every bankroll.
With 70 unique tournaments and over €1,500,000 in guaranteed prize pools, The Festival Online 2024 was an event that both seasoned pros and recreational players alike could enjoy.
The iPoker Network, currently ranked in the top five online poker platforms worldwide, provided the perfect home for The Festival Online 2024 (for the first time).
With 26 different operators using the network, the series was accessible to players in numerous countries. The iPoker Network has long been known for its deep-structured tournaments and extended registration periods, focusing primarily on low- to mid-stakes poker players. This made it an ideal platform for The Festival Online, which also catered to players in this category.
The event's inclusivity was one of its standout features. Players from all over the world had the opportunity to compete, thanks to the wide range of operators offering access to the series. Whether you were a newcomer to the world of online poker or a seasoned grinder, The Festival Online had something for everyone.
The Festival Online 2024 Highlights
The Festival Online 2024 featured a packed schedule of 70 unique events. These tournaments spanned a wide variety of formats, including Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Progressive Knockout (PKO), and Mystery Bounty events.
The series catered to both single-day tournaments and multi-day events, such as the 'Stackbuilder' tournaments.


One of the marquee events of the series was the €55 Main Event, which took place from August 8th to August 19th. With a modest buy-in of just €55, this tournament offered an incredible €100,000 guaranteed prize pool. This €100K prize pool would eventually be crushed on the final day. The daily opening flights allowed players multiple chances to qualify for Day 2, giving players more chance on building a big stack for the final day.
Other headline events included the €100 Opening Event on August 4th and the €250 Closer Event on August 18th, both of which also featured substantial guaranteed prize pools of €100,000 each, which both got crushed as well.

The Streamers Challenge: A Unique Twist
In addition to the main tournament schedule, The Festival Online 2024 also introduced an exciting new element: the Streamers Challenge.
This challenge allowed online poker streamers to compete in a series of pre-selected tournaments, with additional bonus points available through various challenges. The Streamers Challenge added a layer of community engagement and entertainment to the event, as viewers could watch their dedicated streamers battle it out for the top spot, which took until the very last moment to be decided!

The Streamers Challenge consisted of several different disciplines, all of which aligned with the values of The Festival Series: harmony, healthy competition, and hospitality.
The participants not only had to compete in six pre-selected tournaments, but they also had the opportunity to earn bonus points by completing challenges such as organizing hospitality events on their live streams, such as completing Franke's Flip Flop Mission, and qualifying for Day 2 of the €100 satellite for The Festival Malta. We have seen epic footage of streamers doing a sing-a-long, pretending to be 'Masterchef', going out to the forest, and fishing!
Ultimately, it was "Lemon Poker" who emerged as the winner of the Streamers Challenge. Representing the Fortuna platform, Lemon Poker's dedication and strategy paid off as he secured the top spot on the leaderboard.
Wait.... No! It was more luck than wisdom eventually, as he was able to complete Franke's Flip Flops Challenge on the final day, not knowing he had access to it all along the series! His victory earned him a €1,600 package for The Festival Bratislava, a fitting reward for his efforts throughout the challenge, and a big thank you!
Satellite Events: Qualify for The Festival Malta
For those looking to take their poker experience offline, The Festival Online 2024 also offered live satellites for The Festival Malta, scheduled to take place from September 8th to September 15th at the prestigious Portomaso Casino. These satellites provided players with a chance to win packages worth €1,850, which included the Main Event buy-in, hotel stay, hospitality package, and spending money.

The satellite campaign ran from July 15th to August 19th, and featured a range of buy-ins starting as low as €0.25. Players who managed to win their way through these satellites earned a coveted spot in the live event in Malta, which promises to be an epic journey filled with poker action, casino games, and other exciting activities.
The inclusion of satellite qualifiers added an extra layer of excitement to The Festival Online, as players had the chance to turn a small investment into a full poker vacation package. We do need to give it to 'ChantalTeamHC'. He unfortunately did not make it in the end to get his hands on a package, but he tried so many times to get through! We hope to see you very soon still at The Festival Series!
Looking Ahead: The Future of The Festival Series
As The Festival Online 2024 came to a close, we will be looking ahead again to our event in Malta. The success of this year's online series has set the stage for even bigger and better events in the coming years, hopefully on iPoker Network! With The Festival Malta 2024 just around the corner, the excitement is far from over.

The live event in Malta, running from September 8th to September 15th, promises to be an unforgettable experience. Players who qualified through the online satellites will have the opportunity to compete in a variety of poker tournaments, as well as enjoy the hospitality and entertainment that The Festival Series is known for.
Looking further ahead, The Festival Series will continue to expand its reach, with more online and live events planned for 2025 and beyond. The Streamers Challenge, in particular, has proven to be a popular addition, and it is likely that future iterations will continue to attract top poker streamers and their communities. Most of the participating streamers of this edition, already confirmed they will be part of the next one as well!
The Festival Series has always been about more than just poker. It's about bringing people together, fostering a sense of community, and providing players with unforgettable experiences both on and off the felt. Whether you're playing online or at a live event, The Festival Series tries to offer something truly special.
