CoinPoker Changes the Rules of High-Stakes Play

Personalized VIP System

The changes announced for high-stakes games appear logical. In recent months, CoinPoker has become one of the leading platforms for high-stakes online play, and the professional community's interest in the platform's conditions has grown significantly.

One possible catalyst was a discussion on X, between Mobius Poker and Mario Mosboeck about rake at high stakes.

Against this backdrop, CoinPoker announced the launch of a new personalized rewards system for high-stakes players. CoinPoker was quick to emphasize that this is not a classic VIP program with fixed levels and standard rakeback. The new approach is based on a different principle: rewarding players who generate action, run high-stakes games, and keep high-stakes tables active.

The reward system is designed for a select group of high-stakes players, not a mass audience. Detailed program terms are not yet available. To verify eligibility, players are encouraged to contact [email protected] directly.

In addition to announcing the new VIP model, CoinPoker announced changes to the table format at limits $25/$50 and above to 6-max instead of 7-max. Rake caps were also confirmed:

• Heads-up: 0.5 BB;
• Tables with three or more players: 0.6 BB.

This means that up to $2,500 in rake can still be taken from large pots in heads-up play. However, players now have the opportunity to offset some of this commission not only through the standard 33% rakeback, but also through additional bonuses offered by the new VIP program.

Cash Game World Championship and High-Stakes Action

At the end of 2024, CoinPoker launched the Cash Game World Championship, a format that turned regular cash games into a structured competitive challenge. The initiative attracted top regulars and high rollers.

However, the action wasn't limited to the championship. CoinPoker became an arena for protracted heads-up battles. The 4- and 5-Card Omaha tables with stakes of $300/$600 and $500/$1,000 were particularly popular. Giselle54 emerged as the driving force behind much of the action, who consistently put up a good fight against the toughest opponents for four months straight.

In December 2025 alone, the player:

• lost about $1 million to GucciNIKE;
• won $1.2 million against LUKAKU;
• took $400,000 from Jared Bleznick.

Some pots reached $225,000.

Recently, tables with limits up to $2,500/$5,000 and 200 big blind buy-ins appeared in the CoinPoker lobby—currently the highest-stakes open games online. Notably, the limits were added at the request of a wealthy amateur player named cardsforfun. He was advised in the chat to contact Viktor Malinovsky and Enlight, and the tables did indeed appear.

Kaihan Mokri became a key figure in the new high-stakes showdowns. Almost immediately, he played against cardsforfun for a seven-figure pot worth $1.076 million. That evening, screenshots of Mokri sitting alone at two tables with stacks of $500,000 and $1 million were shared on social media. The community quickly dubbed him "the final boss of online poker."

News of the ultra-high-stakes game also reached Trueteller, who now plays under the nickname ATAKA. He also stepped in to face Mokri, and not with much success. One of the most talked-about hands ended with Kayhan taking down a $400K+ pot with jacks without diamonds on an all-diamond board. A screenshot of the hand, with the $2,500 rake highlighted, was published on X by Mobius Poker.

At the same time, the fact remains: players aren't complaining, and the action is only growing. Mokri, Linus Loeliger, Björn Lie, and other top regs regularly appear at the tables, even if some prefer more "humane" limits like NL20K.

Conclusion

CoinPoker is undergoing an important transformation. The poker room is simultaneously increasing high-stakes action, opening record limits, and attempting to selectively regulate the economy of high-stakes games. The personalized VIP system is an attempt to move away from cookie-cutter solutions and directly account for the contributions of individual players.

Rake at individual tables remains a point of controversy. But high stakes at CoinPoker are clearly thriving, the action is growing, and top regulars and serious amateurs are regularly appearing at the tables. Judging by the current dynamics, CoinPoker is betting on its role as the premier venue for online high rollers—even if it means rewriting the traditional rules of the game.
