Kerryjane Craigie, a PokerStars Ambassador and Director of Poker at the Hippodrome Casino, is leading the charge with the upcoming Women’s Winter Festival. This event aims to elevate inclusivity in poker and create new opportunities for women in the game. In this blog, Craigie shares her vision and the reasons behind the festival’s importance.

When I talk about the Women’s Winter Festival, it’s unsurprising to see reactions of interest.

Given my platform and my view on women’s events, my involvement in such an initiative is expected. What does often surprise people is the festival’s impressive £100,000 guaranteed prize pool. But when you bring together myself, my PokerStars colleagues Lizzie Wilson, and Dave Curtis, you can count on something noteworthy emerging.

Summer is drawing to a close in many parts of the world, leaving people yearning for some fun in the sun. Poker tournament grinders can combine the beautiful Mediterranean weather with hot poker action at the 2024 Autumn Malta Poker Festival.

The inaugural Malta Poker Festival took place in November 2018, and it was a rip-roaring success. Poker players from far and wide descended on the Portomaso Casino in St. Julian’s, Malta, for the week-long series that culminated in a €550 buy-in Malta Poker Festival Grand Event (the Main Event). That tournament drew in 1,366 entrants, with Italian Enamuele Onnis coming out on top and banking an impressive €150,000 for his victory.
