The biggest tournament festival of the Clubs Poker year is mid-run, and it's exactly the kind of stretch that keeps you up past your bedtime telling yourself "one more flight."

From June 26 through July 19, the Clubs Summer Series is pumping out nonstop action: 400,000 SC+ in guaranteed prizes, 22 Championship Bracelet Events, 190 total tournaments, and up to 8 events firing every single day. Twenty poker variants are in rotation, so whether you're a Hold'em purist, an Omaha degenerate, or a mixed-game specialist who actually knows what Razz is, there's a seat with your name on it. Stretched across the whole festival is a 15,000 SC Leaderboard Race, and the whole thing crescendos into a Main Event with a 10,000 SC guarantee.

That's the backdrop. Here's the news that landed in the middle of it.

Clubs Poker Is Redrawing Its US Map July 1

Effective July 1, 2026, Clubs Poker is changing market availability in two states. If you play from either one, you'll want to sort this before your next session.

Indiana: poker stays, casino goes. Clubs Poker remains live for Hoosiers. Clubs Casino does not — it's strictly prohibited and being removed immediately. If you've been toggling between the tables and the casino floor on one login, that crossover ends. Poker only from here.

Maine: out entirely. Both Clubs Poker and Clubs Casino are gone for Maine players, and the brand is scrubbing every reference to Maine as a serviced state. If you're playing from there, the door shuts July 1.

Everyone else carries on as normal. The updated list of states where Clubs Poker is available: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, DC, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

One housekeeping note: the official announcement still lists ME in the available column even though the same notice removes Maine higher up. That's almost certainly a copy-paste holdover from the old list. Treat Maine as removed and watch for a correction.

The practical version: not in Indiana or Maine, nothing changes, get back to the grind. Indiana, you keep poker but lose the casino. Maine, cash out and wrap up before the first.

More Than Just Bracelets

The main schedule is the headline, but the series is stacked with side action worth knowing about.

Battle of the Slots is running with 40,000 SC guaranteed. Play any of the 10 featured slots, bank 1 point per SC played, and climb the weekly leaderboard. Finish top 10 in a given week and you split that week's 10,000 SC prize pool.

The weekly social giveaway is the easiest free shot on the board. Every week, 15 players win tournament tickets across Facebook, Instagram, and X. Watch the posts, do the thing they ask — like, follow, share, comment, tag a friend — and you're in. Each post is a fresh entry. It's about as close to free equity as the game gets.

The newsletter freebuy rounds it out. Free entry, 1 SC rebuys, and a password tucked into the monthly Clubs Poker newsletter. Find the tourney in the lobby, punch in the code, and you're playing for a guaranteed pool on house money.

Frequently Asked Questions

As of the July 1, 2026 update, Clubs Poker runs in 35 states plus DC, covering most of the map: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, DC, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. Maine dropped off the list as of July 1, and Indiana is now poker-only with Clubs Casino removed. If your state isn't named, that's your answer for now, though sweepstakes operators adjust their maps regularly, so it's worth checking back.
No. Indiana keeps Clubs Poker, but Clubs Casino is strictly prohibited there and was pulled on July 1. If you had both running on one account, your poker access is untouched, you just won't see the casino games anymore. It's a clean split: tables stay, slots and table games go.
Clubs Poker operates on the sweepstakes model, which is a different legal lane than real-money online poker. Instead of buying chips with cash directly, you play with Sweeps Coins (SC) that can be redeemed for prizes, which is how the format stays available across so many states where traditional online poker isn't licensed. That's also why availability shifts state by state and why operators update their serviced lists periodically. As always, you're responsible for knowing the rules where you live.
The Clubs Summer Series runs June 26 through July 19, 2026, so there's still a stretch of the festival left to fire. With up to 8 events a day and 190 tournaments total, you've got plenty of runway to chase one of the 22 Championship Bracelets or grind the 15,000 SC Leaderboard Race before it wraps. The whole thing closes out with the Main Event and its 10,000 SC guarantee.
The easiest path is the weekly social giveaway running all through the Summer Series. Every week, 15 players win tickets to upcoming events across Facebook, Instagram, and X. Watch for the giveaway posts, complete whatever action they ask for like a follow, share, comment, or tag, and you're entered. Each post is a separate chance, so the more you engage, the more shots you get. There's also the newsletter freebuy if you want a free entry with cheap 1 SC rebuys.
