2024 Fans Choice Awards
The Australian Poker Schedule (APS) hosted its inaugural Fans Choice Awards in 2024, an online survey recognising players and other key figures in our community across seven categories. Narrowing down the nominees was no easy task in such an incredible year for Australian poker!
Australian Poker Schedule followers were invited to vote for their top picks in each category, making it a true celebration of the community.
We congratulate all the 2024 nominees, and the winners in each category, as well as the staff, operators, and dealers, for a fantastic first year.
The Fans Choice Awards will return in 2025, with even bigger plans to celebrate Australian poker.
