GGPoker Partners With Dublin Poker Festival 2023
GGPoker announces that it has partnered with the Dublin Poker Festival, one of Ireland’s most acclaimed live poker events. The world’s largest online poker room will offer online satellites to both the festival’s headline tournament, the European Deepstack Poker Championship, and the ever-popular Amateur Championship of Poker. The festival will be hosted in the Bonnington Hotel in Dublin and runs from February 16 through February 26.
The European Deepstack, now in its 15th year, features a €570 buy-in and boasts €200,000 in guaranteed prizes. Players have a choice of two Day 1s (on February 23 and February 24), with Day 2 on February 25 and a Final Day on February 26. All participants start the event with 100,000 chips, bringing extra strategic consideration to decisions taken during the event.
The Amateur Championship of Poker (ACOP) features a €300 buy-in, a €100,000 prize pool guarantee and runs from February 16 through February 19.
GGPoker players can secure their European Deepstack Poker Championship seat from January 9, with qualifier buy-ins from €1 and Road to Dublin PF European Deepstack direct satellites from €50. Further methods of qualifying may be introduced in the coming weeks.
As always, GGPoker players taking part in the European Deepstack will get added value compared to those without GGPoker accounts; GGPoker’s much-loved bubble insurance will feature, as well as live mystery bounties and GGPoker merchandise & ticket giveaways.
“We are delighted to announce this partnership with the Dublin Poker Festival and give all GGPoker players the opportunity to win their seats in some of Ireland’s best-loved poker events,” said Angela Martin, UK & Ireland Head of Marketing at GGPoker. “With hundreds of thousands in guaranteed prizes to be won and satellites starting from just €1, Dublin will be the place to be in February and we want as many GGPoker players there as possible!”
Brian Lannon of Dublin Poker Festival added: “This is a fantastic partnership for Dublin Poker Festival and we look forward to working with GGPoker, giving a wider player base the opportunity to play in this fantastic poker festival. We look forward to building a close partnership with GGPoker and growing our event.”
New GGPoker players are eligible to claim the poker room’s Welcome Bonus, earn even more rewards with the Honeymoon for Newcomers promotion and join GGPoker’s Fish Buffet loyalty program, with regular cash prizes on offer.

Push Gaming reels off Fish ‘n’ Nudge Big Catch

B2B gaming supplier Push Gaming has returned to the deep blue with Fish ‘n’ Nudge Big Catch, a reimagined follow-up to one of its most beloved recent titles.
Building on the charm and success of the original Fish ‘n’ Nudge, Big Catch brings fresh energy to the series with a new take on free spins and added layers of excitement designed to engage both loyal fans and new players.
While retaining the iconic visuals and light-hearted theme that made Fish ‘n’ Nudge a standout, this release delves deeper beneath the surface to deliver more action and anticipation.
Among the new features are locking net symbols, which boost the chances of catching fish and can reel in extra free spins. The addition of individual reel multipliers, increased by the powerful boost symbol, creates the potential for significant wins, keeping each spin loaded with promise.
Crafted with Push Gaming’s signature focus on player-centric design, Fish ‘n’ Nudge Big Catch is a bold evolution of a proven favourite. It retains the approachable gameplay and visual charm of the original, while introducing dynamic mechanics that enhance engagement and replayability.
Jack Wood, Game Producer at Push Gaming, said: “With Fish ‘n’ Nudge Big Catch, we wanted to evolve a concept that players already love, while bringing something fresh to the experience. It’s all about building on what works, adding excitement through new mechanics, and keeping the gameplay feeling sharp and rewarding.
“This title exemplifies our approach to development by listening to players, refining proven features, and delivering content that’s both entertaining and effective for our partners.”
