Mantelo wins a five-figure Mystery Bounty

We are back with another round-up of how you guys have been performing as you attempt to achieve your 2026 goals.

First of all, if you are ever wondering how to get your own blog featured in this new segment on the Bankroll Challenge, the answer is simply to enthusiastically report how things are going for you personally.

But we would be lying if we said that putting all your big results together in one easy-to-digest image like irieill has done doesn't help. He's had a very impressive run of form after the World Series of Poker coverage brought him back to the online MTT streets. 

Is this the next GTO wizard? Our member rhodriguez has been sharing something very different for his poker journey. He is creating his own poker app. He is looking to have something available at the start of next year, and we are sure that he could use your encouragement, advice, and suggestions. 

Finally, he has achieved everything else in online poker, so all that seemed left was for mantelo to take down a gigantic mystery bounty. Here he is in a $108 mystery bounty tournament, taking down a single bounty that was worth 140 times his buy-in. 

This is our first Bankroll Challenge update since we recently upgraded our forum. Please do let us know if you've encountered any issues. 

2026 Challenge Updates

In 2026, we will be making some changes. Reports are due monthly, starting from January 5.

There will be four quarterly raffles of $150 in CoinPoker credits, which you will be eligible for if you have reported in all three quarters' reports (the first one being December, January and February).

In December 2026, there will be a final raffle prize of $500 for anyone who has reported 10 out of the 12 months of the year, which will reward consistency while also giving everyone some leeway. The prize pool distributions for the final $500 will be announced later.
