BOOT CAMP CHALLENGE

If $6.5 million in prizes and free coaching sessions from the BBZ Poker team weren’t enough incentive for you to get involved in the WCOOP Boot Camp, PokerStars has spiced things up even further.

Throughout the Boot Camp — which runs from August 2-17 — our Ambassadors will run a WCOOP Boot Camp Progressive Challenge on their social media channels.

The goal is simple: Complete the weekly challenges and be entered into All In Shootout freerolls with WCOOP tickets up for grabs.

But don’t think you can fake it. You MUST upload a screenshot of your completion of the weekly challenge into this PokerStars Discord Thread, along with your PokerStars User ID.

You’ve missed the first challenge, but here’s a look at the final challenge:

Challenge 3: Play the $55 Mini Bounty Builder HR on Aug 17

Yep. It’s that simple.

All you have to do is play the $55 Mini Bounty Builder HR on Monday, August 17 (the final day of Boot Camp).

Now, we know that $55 is a big buy-in. But there will be many satellites for the tournament running, giving you plenty of chances to get in for cheap. Best of luck.

Eligible players will be entered into an AISO at 11:59pm ET on Thursday. 20th August awarding 15 $215 WCOOP Tickets (this is up $1K compared with previous challenges!)

When you’ve completed the challenge, post your screenshot here.

Read the WCOOP Boot Camp Challenge Terms and Conditions here.

DON’T FORGET: The third and final BBZ Session takes place Friday, August 14, from 4-7pm CEST. There’s a $0.01 centroll tournament running on PokerStars as soon as the sessions finish, with $1K in WCOOP tickets in the prize pool.

LEARN FROM BBZ POKER

As this is a training camp, PokerStars has teamed up with the esteemed coaches at BBZ Poker to provide you with free coaching sessions throughout the Boot Camp.

BBZ Poker is where the likes of Ben “Spraggy” Spragg, Lex Veldhuis, Andy “BowieEffect” Wilson and more crushers study and improve. Throughout WCOOP Boot Camp, the team — led by founder Jordan “bigbluffzinc” Drummond — will provide free training sessions to PokerStars players.

The sessions will run on the Friday “rest days” and will align with the Boot Camp’s weekend tournament schedule, so you’re well-equipped when the events kick off.

BBZ Boot Camp sessions run 4pm – 7pm CEST on the following dates:

  • Friday, July 31
  • Friday, August 7
  • Friday, August 14

The sessions will be hosted in the BBZ Discord. Recordings will be publicly available on BBZ Poker during the Boot Camp.

Password-protected centrolls will run every Friday once all the coaching sessions have wrapped up, giving you the chance to bag some WCOOP tickets. The passwords for each tournament will be revealed during the sessions, so pay attention!

  • 31st July & 7th August: $1K each in WCOOP tickets, including a $109 WCOOP ticket for 1st-3rd
  • 14th August: $1.5K in WCOOP tickets, including a $530 WCOOP ticket for 1st

Sign up for the sessions at BBZ Poker.

SAVE THE DATES: WCOOP 2026 RUNS FROM SEPTEMBER 6-30

You wouldn’t run a marathon without weeks of training. You wouldn’t sit an exam without studying. You wouldn’t set off on a long road trip without stocking up on supplies and filling the car with fuel. 

And yet, when it comes to the most prestigious online poker series of them all — the World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) taking place September 6-30 — many of us jump straight in, smashing that ‘Register’ button without any prep or warm-ups.

There’s nothing wrong with that, of course.

But think how well you might play — and the results you might get — if you allowed yourself a WCOOP training camp…

WCOOP BOOT CAMP RETURNS

The WCOOP Boot Camp is back from August 2-17, 2026, with more than $6.5 million guaranteed in prizes across 130 tournaments. It’s a warm-up series designed to help both casual players and grinders prepare for WCOOP 2026 and get a taste of what playing a big series is like (if you’ve never played one before).

Each of the 65 events has two buy-in levels — Low and High — with buy-ins starting from as little as $2.20.

Players not only love WCOOP due to its history and prestige, but they also love it because of the different poker games you get to play; the variety of fun tournament formats in the mix; and last but not least, the huge prizes on offer.

WCOOP Boot Camp replicates all of that, and at the low buy-in level, it does so at a fraction of the cost.
