It’s fair to say that poker has come a long way since the early days when it was a virtually male-dominated world. Nowadays, not only has real money online poker transformed the game for everyone in terms of its easy accessibility, but as well as an online poker tournament having a mix of male and female players, a typical live poker tournament scene will also feature a number of women.

However, as with countless aspects of life in which women are under-represented, there’s still work to be done in poker. To this end, PokerStars has announced that their Women’s Bootcamp – created for women who love poker and who want to improve their skills while making friends as they go – will return in 2023.

If the success of the 2022 edition – when Canadian police employee Roxanne Johnson won a Platinum Pass to the PokerStars Players Championship (PSPC) worth $30,000 – is anything to go by, this year’s boot camp will be well worth getting involved with.

And the winner will be rewarded with a taste of megabucks international poker, the top prize in the boot camp tournament being a full package to EPT Prague in December worth €5,300 and which consists of the following:

  • EPT Prague Main Event buy-in
  • Hotel accommodation
  • Free flights and transfers

Rebecca McAdam Willetts, PokerStars Director Of Partnerships, PR and Consumer Engagement: “These boot camps are an essential first opportunity to pique interest in women who have never played the game before, and to motivate those that play poker to continue to evolve their skills and gain confidence at the tables… we’re committed to making poker inclusive and accessible for everyone and it’s our mission to create equal opportunities and a safe space for the poker community.”

Forty female players from the UK, Canada, Brazil and France will take part in Women’s Bootcamp 2023, so eligible players who are interested should throw their poker caps in the ring.
