boss meet-ups

connect live with the community

From the start in 2022 we already added live moments in the BOSS schedule, those were always great moments of poker and unique opportunities to connect with other BOSS players. In 2025 we expanded this concept to a live poker festival in the Casino of Spa. Due to the great hospitality and huge enthousiasme of the players we decide for 2026 to keep this festival approach integrated in the year schedule. In 2026 we plan two big meet-ups: The Gathering and BOSS Arena.

Join us for The Gathering at Belgium's newest live poker venue, Pokahroom Middelkerke, located within the Casino of Middelkerke. The room can host up to 400 unique players simultaneously. Let's fill every table!

The energy was real.
The tables were full.
The response? Incredible.
