Cardmates Gambling Portal – All About UK Poker & Casinos

Hі everyone!

We’re currently searching for a new home for our private community freerolls, but in the meantime the Friday games on GGPoker are still going strong. That means we’ve got another one ready for you tonight!

 The Cardmates Freeroll (Fan) with a $150 GTD kicks off at 8pm (UK time) and is open to everyone who has Fan status on the site. 

 We’ve been told that all the tickets should already be credited to your accounts.

Just a quick reminder of the key details about our private GGPoker tournaments:

• The tourney shows up in the GG lobby two hours before kick-off. So you’ll see it there from 6pm. 
• We send the list of eligible players to GGPoker every Monday. If you’ve got «Fan» status but no ticket, chances are you didn’t register your GG nickname on Cardmates.co.uk in time.
• How to register your GG nickname? Click your avatar ➡️ Go to «Status» ➡️ You’ll see the field where you can add your GGPoker nickname. Simple as that.

If you’ve got any questions about our community freerolls, just drop a private message to our mod: d19932808 (he’ll sort you out).

🍀 GL GL!

In 1999, psychologists Dunning and Kruger ran a study.

The worst performers consistently overestimated their ability.

The best performers consistently underestimated theirs.

Poker has the same exact curve.

When you first learn something or have your first success, people often believe they are much better than they actually are.

Confidence peaks right when your knowledge is most incomplete.

That’s not a coincidence. That’s the Dunning-Kruger effect.

The beginner is certain he is right,  

the expert is still asking questions, getting feedback, and doubting himself.  

The more you know, the more you understand how little you actually know.

A great player is not the most confident one, the guy who thinks he knows it all.

It’s the one who knows how much he still has to learn. The best players I have met in my life were often the ones doubting themselves the most.

Cardmates you are the jury in this case…….

I have had a couple of replies to my recent post……..

All correct and justifiable of which I do not argue with, in fact I appreciate the clarification and insight.

But, here lies my argument……..

1. I am very much a proactive member of the community 
2. This was one of my highest scoring blogs 
3. I always try to add value to as many of fellow Cardmates blogs as possible 

This argument is put forward before my fellow Cardmates……

Not out of anger…….

Not out of rage……

Not even bitterness…….

But for “JUSTICE!” AND THE LOLS 🤣 

MAKE OF THIS WHAT YOU WILL, BUT I HAVE PUT MY CASE FORWARD TO MY PIERS (Cardmates)

IT’s ALL UP TO YOU 🫵

This one is for all the fans of free poker tournaments - which I know a lot of you are!

Due to Coin Poker’s efforts to become the mainstream poker app involving partnering up with big names in the poker scene, giveaways have become a frequent occurrence.

These Giveaways range from $20 on a stream giveaway to a $25000 Triton High Roller Series tournament package - all completely free to be a part of!!

If you want to make the most of these here are few that I would recommend (please note that you can only put down one code on sign up):

• Ryan Depaulo (code RDP) - 2 free poker tournaments monthly with $10k combined prize pool

• Triton (code TRITON) - Weekly Sunday qualifiers each with a $1000 prize pool, the winner of each qualifier plays in a final qualifier in which the winner of that receives a free holiday to Jeju and a buy in to the $25000 NLH tournament.

• Poker Coaching (code PC) - Weekly $2000 freeroll on a Sunday evening

Please always read the T&Cs before using the codes, most of them don’t even require a deposit on the Coin Poker app however the Triton giveaway does require you to have played a real money tournament or 50 cash game hands before you receive your ticket. As for the other two, all you need to do is use the code on sign up and you’re good to go!

Enjoy the free practice and I hope to see you boasting a tournament win in this community real soon!! 💪🏼

Yesterday was another massive day for the community. If you locked into yesterday’s prediction, your slip is sitting comfortably in the green. Al Nassr’s dominant 4-1 victory kept our winning streak alive, and more importantly, it officially crowned them the 2025–26 Saudi Pro League Champions.

Coming into the final day, the pressure was suffocating, they had to beat Damac to hold off an undefeated Al Hilal by just two points. They delivered a masterclass.

Here is exactly how the goals blew up:

33’ | The Icebreaker: Sadio Mané calm the nerves, slotting home a clinical finish after a brilliant, line-breaking through-ball from João Félix.

51’ | The Cushion: Right after the break, Kingsley Coman doubles the lead with a beautiful curling effort from the edge of the box. 2-0 felt like cruise control.

57’ | The Scare: A controversial VAR handball gives Damac a penalty. Morlaye Sylla converts, making the stadium sweat as the tension spikes.

62’ | The Response: When the pressure cooks, the captain steps up. Cristiano Ronaldo calms the anxiety, drilling a low free-kick through a crowded box to restore order.

80’ | The Final Seal: Ronaldo puts the championship beyond doubt, rifling a thunderous strike into the roof of the net for his 28th league goal of the campaign.

An emotional night for CR7, a historic title for Al Nassr, and another secure win for us.

Did you cash out on this match, or were you sweating that 57th-minute penalty? Let’s talk in the comments.
