A carnival of football. A feast of poker.
The World Cup is a carnival of football and we've got a carnival of poker to match it!
One player will be crowned King at the end of our 25 day tournament - a tournament to rival the World Cup tournament itself! Every day at Circus Poker you'll find more tournaments, more prize money and more poker action than ever!
Finish in the money in any of the Circus Poker scheduled World Cup poker tournaments and you'll earn points on our World Cup Carnival leaderboard. So not only will you have earned cash you can bank from your tournament earnings, there'll be an extra £2,000 to win if you're crowned King of the Carnival by topping our leaderboard. We're feeling so generous that we'll even top this up to five grand if England are crowned World Champions.
