    Online poker sites have always employed special tournament series and they are a significant part of the fabric that binds the poker community together. They create aspirations and dreams amongst pros and recreational players alike. Success in them has kick-started the careers of many well known players.

    While they have always been an important part of an online poker site’s offering, they have become more and more prevalent over the years. Most sites used to  typically run special online poker series about four times a year, perhaps a a little more. Now it seems like they run them almost non-stop, with smaller series filling in the time in between the major ones. 

    An online poker series can last anything from a few days to several weeks, during which time they schedule a special series of tournaments, a various different buy-in levels, with larger guarantees than their regular offering. Often these series will have an accompanying leaderboard and additional prizes added by the site, rewarding the best performing players of the online festival.

    • WPT Spring Festival
    • WPT Fall Festival
    • WPT Winter Festival

    ACR Poker Series

    Tournament series at ACR Poker are well established, most utilising the suffix OSS, which stands for the Online Super Series. The main online festival of the year at ACR is the OSS, but it also has several siblings, such as the MOSS (Mini Online Super Series) and the PKOSS (Progressive Knockout Online Super Series). 

    However the OSSs are not the only tournament series that ACR runs and some are more serious than others. At the top of the tree is the Venom, a high stakes PKO tournament that comes with an entrance price of $2,650 with a lofty $12.5m guarantee. On the lighter side of things, the High Five Series is a springtime online poker festival, which is so laid back it takes an extended break at 4.20pm each day, man.
