Winamax Player Wins Record €922K in Bounties in Just 258 Minutes
A Winamax player, “oldepaso68,” collected €922,104 in bounties during a tournament. The tournament, which ran as part of the recent Winamax Series, attracted 1,108 entries and eventually awarded €1,022,441, more than 10 times the original guarantee. The tournament lasted just 258 minutes, meaning “oldepaso68” effectively won €3,574 every minute, or around €60 every second.
Every bounty in a Space KO tournament receives a random multiplier between 0.4x and 100x. The €838,000 bounty collected by “oldepaso68” was the largest single bounty ever awarded in a Space KO tournament. Winamax launched Space KO in December 2024, bringing the random multiplier concept found in games such as Expresso and jackpot sit and go style formats into MTTs.
Another French online poker room, Betclic, has launched its own version, called Smash Knockout, while other operators and networks are working on different variations of mystery and progressive bounty formats.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
