The complete story of my bankroll challenge, stake by stake. Starting with a €25 bankroll and grinding Spins for 30 days...

I will have to return to places I have not visited in a very long time.
Bankroll challenges are a classic in Spin. And I have to say, I had been wanting to do one for a long time. Going back to the lower stakes, rediscovering the feel of my early days, tables packed with fish, not a reg in sight… I couldn't wait.
At the end of 2025, I therefore took on a simple little challenge: start with €25 and grind Spins for 30 days, following strict constraints.
The goal? To show that with discipline, solid bankroll management and strong fundamentals, it's possible to build a bankroll from almost nothing.
This challenge was completed by an experienced player with several years of Spin experience. The results shown are not representative of what a beginner can expect early on. The purpose of this page is educational: to see what's possible in Spins, and how to analyze your results across the stakes.
€25, that's it. No safety net.
30 days to climb as high as possible.
About 1h30 per day, no more.
4-tabling only, from start to finish.
No rewards, no bonuses. Pure winnings.
The goal was to stay as close as possible to the real conditions of a player starting with a small bankroll. No safety net, no rakeback, no excessive volume to offset downswings.
We'll go progressively, stake by stake, starting with the €1 games. For each stake level, you'll find:
Don't be surprised if the result is quite concise. The goal, as we always strive for at Poker Sciences, is not to have pages of useless filler but to get to the essential information as quickly as possible.
Even today, too many players try to get results in spins without using a tracker. Let's be clear: to improve, using a tracker is not optional. It's essential for tracking your results and your progress. The goal of this bankroll challenge will also be to simply explain how to analyze your key data using a tracker.
We will be using Poker Spin Tracker, which is by far the best tracker for playing Spins. However, with a little research, you will be able to apply the main lessons to other trackers available on the market.
Let's go… and one last piece of information before we start, this challenge was completed on Betclic (one of the main French poker rooms in case you're reading this from outside France) which is, as you know if you've read our free course, the best room for grinding Spins.
