The poker platform says most qualifying seats remain available as Venom Fever continues, with low-cost entry routes feeding two August mystery-bounty tournaments.
Americas Cardroom said on July 27, 2026, that more than 85% of the 1,500 guaranteed seats offered through Venom Fever remained available ahead of the promotion’s second weekend. The satellite campaign was reported as continuing through Sunday, August 30, providing entry routes into two Dual Mystery Bounty Venom tournaments. Those events were scheduled to begin Thursday, August 13, with combined guarantees of $15 million.
The promotion centres on a $12 million guaranteed No-Limit Hold’em Mystery Bounty Venom and a $3 million guaranteed Pot-Limit Omaha Mystery Bounty Venom. According to the release, each tournament carries a $2,650 buy-in, while the qualifying programme is designed to distribute seats through a series of smaller events and alternative entry formats. The two tournaments form part of Americas Cardroom’s 25th Anniversary celebration in 2026.
For the second weekend, Americas Cardroom said it would guarantee 60 seats across four qualifying events. A $55 Mega Satellite was scheduled for 1:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, July 25, guaranteeing five seats, followed by $290 and $109 Mega Satellites at 1:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, July 26, guaranteeing 20 and 10 seats respectively. A $95 Beast Tournament was scheduled for 5:05 p.m. ET on Sunday, with 25 seats guaranteed.
The wider schedule also includes $16.50 Venom Madness Multi-Flight satellites, whose Day 1 flights run throughout each week, with the top 15% advancing to Day 2 at 4:05 p.m. ET on Sunday. The release said weekly finals guarantee 10 seats, while Survivor Flips offer entries from $0.80 and Spin to Get In offers ticket opportunities from $0.01. Direct Satellites with $109 and $290 buy-ins were scheduled to begin August 3.
The structure gives the announcement a clear operational focus: the headline tournament guarantees are paired with a broad ladder of qualifying events, ranging from penny-priced ticket opportunities to higher-buy-in satellites. Americas Cardroom also said the No-Limit Hold’em event would offer a $500,000 top Mystery Bounty and the Pot-Limit Omaha event a $250,000 top Mystery Bounty. With qualifying events reported as continuing until Sunday, August 30, Venom Fever remains the platform’s principal route into the anniversary series described in the release.
