Fullhouse is the UK's first quantitative poker hackathon. Selected students from the world's top universities, competing against 500+ others for a £4,000 prize pool, office tours at top quant firms, and the career introductions that actually matter. Build your bot. Beat everyone else's.
Fullhouse 2026 is over.
And this is just the beginning.
Five days. 300+ bots. The UK's first quantitative poker bot competition is in the books.
Thank you to everyone who wrote a bot, broke it, fixed it at 3am, and showed up to watch them play it out. To our sponsors - Quadrature Capital, Jane Street, Five Rings, Teza Technologies, QRT, Jump Trading, Da Vinci and Susquehanna - thank you for betting on something that didn't exist yet.
We built this because poker is trading with cards, and we wanted to see who could play it best. You answered.
See you next year.
— The Fullhouse Team, Misha
How It Works
The UK's first poker bot hackathon. Write an algorithm that bluffs, raises, and outplays every other bot in the room — then watch it compete live. Students from Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial, UCL, KCL and more go head to head in a Texas Hold'em tournament where the only edge is how well you coded. Just you, your bot, and the best hand wins.
01 — Submit your bot (Python, Texas Hold'em interface)
02 — Qualify (top 64 bots advance by chip EV)
03 — Finals streamed live — best algorithm wins
