European Poker Tour

The European Poker Tour is a series of 7 tournaments scattered across some of Europe's most beautiful & historic cities. The Tour kicks off in Barcelona, at the Gran Casino which is located in the picturesque Olympic Port. The Victoria Casino in London is the second event on the European Poker Tour, followed by Dublin, Copenhagen and Deauville. The spectacular finale concludes in lavish Monte Carlo.

The cost to enter the European Poker Tour events varies depending on the hosting country and currency, typically the buy-in is €5,000 apart from the Final in Monte Carlo which swells to an impressive €10,000. The rising popularity of poker in Europe is evident from the increasing number of entrants to the European Poker Tour tournaments, illustrated by the 400 plus runners at the EPT Deauville tournament. Perhaps one day the European Poker Tour will rival the incredible spectacles and prize pools created by the World Poker Tour.

The European Poker Tour is sponsored by PokerStars.com, who run online satellites leading up to the events. Players can win seats to the European Poker Tour for free through the weekly Frequent Player Points (FPP) satellite. Alternatively, cash satellites entry fees start at as little as $3.
