Las Vegas Hosts Six High-Stakes Charity Poker Tournaments in Early 2026

Six charity poker tournaments will take place in Las Vegas during the first three months of 2026. The Charity Series of Poker (CSOP) has organised the events, each featuring cash prizes and donated rewards. Proceeds will support local causes, with the first tournament scheduled for January 23.

The opening event, Betting on Bright Futures, kicks off on January 23 at 7 p.m. Doors open at 5 p.m., and the $200 buy-in includes a poker tournament, silent auction, and cocktail hour. All funds raised will go to the Hospitality Charitable Foundation, with a $5,000 cash prize pool on offer.

The following night, January 24, The House That Cards Built takes place. This tournament also has a $5,000 cash prize and benefits Habitat for Humanity Las Vegas. On February 7, Hearts in the Crease will raise money for Vegas Golden Chariots. Participants can win three Margaritaville cruise packages alongside the poker competition. March 21 sees Raise the Stakes for Rescue, supporting Hearts Alive Village. The event maintains the $5,000 cash prize structure and follows the same evening format. April brings two final tournaments. Bet Big, Bounce Big on April 3 benefits the Bounce Big Foundation, offering $5,000 in cash plus over $9,000 in donated prizes. Later that month, Kickz & Cardz supports Kickz For Kidz with identical rewards.
