A few weeks ago, PartyPoker announced their comeback on the live poker scene in the form of the PartyPoker Tour. In 2025, there’ll be a total of five live events in the UK, and three of the stops have already been revealed. Things will kick off in London, April 19-27. Then, the next stop will be June 17-22 in Manchester. The third stop is in Glasgow August 12-17, and presumably, players eagerly await the reveal of the last two stops.
Players who are planning to participate in the PartyPoker Tour should try to visit as many stops as possible; there is a leaderboard with over £13,000 in prizes, and by cashing in any PartyPoker Tour live event in 2025, players earn leaderboard points competing for big prizes. Let’s take a closer look at exactly how the leaderboard works and what awards can be obtained.
2026 Packages at Stakes
The concept of the PartyPoker Tour 2025 leaderboard isn’t complicated: players will earn leaderboard points by finishing in the money in any PartyPoker Tour live event. The better their finish, the more points you receive. The formula used to determine how many points you’ll receive is as follows:
All tournaments are eligible for points, except satellites and restricted-entry events. Players can track their own standing and follow the overall leaderboard rankings on the PartyPoker website, where there’ll be a dedicated leaderboard section.
The question of everyone’s mind is, of course, “What can I win”? PartyPoker haven’t skimped on the prize table, and without a doubt, there are great prizes for the 15 highest-ranked players on the leaderboard.
| Position | Prize |

| 1 | £5,000 PartyPoker Tour Package |
| 2 | £3,000 PartyPoker Tour Package |
| 3 | £2,000 PartyPoker Tour Package |
| 4 | £1,000 PartyPoker Tour Package |

| 14 | One £150 Mini Main Event 2026 Ticket |
| 15 | One £150 Mini Main Event 2026 Ticket |
One should be very satisfied with finishing at least the top four on the leaderboard, seeing as those players will be entitled to PartyPoker Tour packages. These include 2026 PartyPoker Tour Main Event tickets, as well as cash that will be credited to the winner’s respective PartyPoker account.
| Package | Contents |
|---|---|
| £5,000 PartyPoker Tour Package | Five £500 Main Event tickets + £2,500 in cash |
| £3,000 PartyPoker Tour Package | Three £500 Main Event tickets + £1,500 in cash |
| £2,000 PartyPoker Tour Package | Two £500 Main Event tickets + £1,000 in cash |
| £1,000 PartyPoker Tour Package | One £500 Main Event tickets + £500 in cash |
Considering the tickets are for events in 2026, we can conclude that the PartyPoker Tour will continue next year, which is great news.
Staples on Tables
Thanks to PartyPoker’s social media channels, we can almost certainly establish that their arguably two biggest ambassadors – Jaime and Matt Staples – will participate in all five tour events. In a video posted by PartyPoker, Jaime Staples explains how players can qualify for the live events online. At the end of the video, he expresses his expectations of seeing many players during the UK stops. The Staples brothers have been very successful at the poker tables for years, and undoubtedly their presence will add some extra excitement to the 2025 tour.
