5th Global Poker Awards - 24th February 2024 - Live from the PokerGO studio in Las Vegas

Poker Awards from 2001 to today

The tradition started in Europe back in 2001. The glitz and glam followed us to Los Angeles in 2014. In 2019, we moved to Las Vegas and introduced the Global Poker Awards, where the rich history of poker awards will be shared the globe over.

From poker playing icons like Devilfish, Negreanu, Hansen and ElkY, to the industry’s best, to the stars in the media, 301 Awards have been presented.

All 301 winners of the Global, American and European Poker Awards can be found on our timeline below
