Cash Game Festival reaches Bratislava on April 4–8
In a cheerful development for poker lovers in Slovakia, the Cash Game Festival reaches the Slovakian capital of Bratislava for the first time at Banco Casino. The event will be held for five days on April 4–8 and it will offer more than 120 hours of nonstop poker action.
The festival continues to grow in popularity, especially among recreational players, thanks to its fun atmosphere both on and away from the poker felt. This atmosphere should be even more electric thanks to another first, collaborating with another recognisable poker tour with the MPN Poker Tour Bratislava kicking off at the same venue on April 5.
This also marks the first time that Unibet will be one of the partners, joining existing partners Betsson, NordicBet and 32Red.
Cash Game Festival Co-Founder Martin “Franke” von Zweigbergk is understandably excited about all of the new aspects about the Cash Game Festival Bratislava.
“The upcoming Cash Game Festival is a first in many ways,” von Zweigbergk said. “It is our first time in Bratislava, Slovakia, our first time collaborating with an existing recognizable poker tour such as MPNPT, and our first time with our new partner in Unibet. I am very excited about all of this.”
Despite the many new aspects the Cash Game Festival will bring to Bratislava, the core idea surrounding the festival will be the same as in the past. Twice a day, the Cash Game Festival will host two televised feature tables on 20-minute delays at 5:30 p.m. CEST and 8:30 p.m. CEST on the Cash Game Festival Twitch channel. Since PokerNews will once again be at the Cash Game Festival, the stream will also be embedded in our coverage.
The British duo of Henry Kilbane and George Sandford, who served as guest hosts during the last Cash Game Festival in London, will be the main commentators for the first-time in Cash Game Festival history. Kilbane and Sandford both discovered the tour as players and will share strategy along with having some fun in the booth to create educational and entertaining streams not to be missed.
In addition to the feature table, there will be endless action on side tables available at any stake and any game you can think of including no-limit hold’em, pot-limit Omaha, open-face Chinese poker, Sviten Special, super dealer’s choice and much more.
There are also many activities planned away from the felts for players who qualified through Cash Game Festival’s partners and for those that wish to purchase the hospitality package. Unlike tournament festivals where players may be stuck at the tables, players at cash games can take breaks as they see fit and can attend as many or all of the activities their hearts desire.
Tallinn after Bratislava
Three weeks after Bratislava, the Cash Game Festival heads back to where it all began to the Estonian capital of Tallinn on April 25–29 for another five-days of nonstop poker action.
This will mark the seventh time the festival has visited Tallinn, including the first three festivals before it embarked internationally in the beginning of 2016.

Eugene Ravdin Discusses Content Creation and Digital Brand Authority at EEGS Webinar
The Eastern European Gaming Summit (EEGS) hosted a compelling webinar featuring Eugene Ravdin, a leading expert in content creation and digital brand marketing. With extensive experience in content for platforms like UEFA.com and his current role at MightyTips, Ravdin shared valuable strategies for building digital brand authority, especially in light of recent changes to Google’s algorithms.
Ravdin emphasized the growing importance of creating meaningful content that aligns with a brand’s identity and values. “Your brand should be connected with your audience,” he stressed. He highlighted how his approach at UEFA focused on consistently delivering unique and relevant content without over-reliance on technical SEO, demonstrating the value of high-quality material in building audience engagement. By sharing examples from his work at MightyTips, he illustrated how content strategies can enhance brand presence and credibility, even without keyword-heavy approaches.
A key focus of the webinar was on the necessity of adapting content to different platforms and audiences. “Adapt your content for your customers, otherwise they will not feel like you belong to them,” Ravdin advised. He underscored the importance of tailoring content formats and styles based on the demographics and expectations of users on various platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, podcasts, and blogs. He also discussed localization challenges, stressing the need for precise language adaptation and the use of trusted native content creators: “If you think about localization—have a trusted native editor,” Ravdin recommended, emphasizing accuracy and consistency across markets.
Ravdin also touched on the increasing popularity of podcasts, offering practical advice on how to effectively plan and execute this format to engage audiences while maintaining consistency and content quality. “After you create trust and loyalty, you create engagement,” he added. His expertise provided attendees with actionable insights into leveraging content to strengthen digital brand authority, drive engagement, and adapt to the ever-changing digital landscape.
All attendees of the EEGS Webinar received a Certificate of Masterclass Completion, recognizing their commitment to advancing knowledge in the gaming industry.
