Earlier this year, PartyPoker announced its return to the live poker scene with the PartyPoker Tour. In 2025, the tour will feature five UK stops, with the first one just around the corner. From April 19-27, Aspers Casino in London will host the kickoff event, where new PartyPoker champions will be crowned—some of whom could be fighting for thousands of pounds after qualifying for merely one cent.
For just $0,01, players can compete for a £1,000 package for PartyPoker Tour London (or any other 2025 stop, for that matter). Here’s how to do it.
PartyPoker Tour Path
The aforementioned package includes a £500 ticket for any 2025 PartyPoker Tour Main Event of your choosing, as well as £500 for expenses (such as travel and accommodations).
Every Sunday at 20:00 GMT, PartyPoker online poker client hosts a tournament, in which the winner takes home the tour package. Players can’t buy into the tournament; in order to get a seat at the Sunday final, one must advance from round four of the PartyPoker Tour Path.
The PartyPoker Tour Path is a five-step path to glory that looks as follows:
| Round | Tournament | Buy-in | Prize |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 6-Max Sit N’ Go or MTT | £0,20 | Round two ticket |
| 2 | 6-Max Sit N’ Go or MTT | £1 | Round three ticket |
| 3 | Phased MTT | £5 | 20 % of players carry on their stack to round four |
| 4 | Phased MTT | £25 | 15 % of players carry on their stack to round five |
| 5 | MTT | N/A | £1,000 PartyPoker Tour package |
Again, it isn’t possible to buy into round five; however, players can buy into any of the four first rounds. In other words, one could get his or her hands on the package just by going through rounds four and five. Starting from round one, though, is the cheapest way.
The best part is that players will receive not one but two round-one tickets just by raking $0.01 from a real money poker hand in a PartyPoker cash game. That means that you, in theory, could win the package for just mere cents.
PartyPoker Tour Challenge
The PartyPoker Tour Path isn’t the only measure that PartyPoker has launched to send players to the live events. There’s also the PartyPoker Tour Challenge.
The concept is simple: for every dollar you rake in a cash game, and for every dollar you pay in fees such as tournament buy-ins, you’ll be rewarded one point. Then, there are certain thresholds to hi; every time you hit a new goal, you’ll be awarded a prize. Tickets for satellites, live event tickets… if you get enough points, you can even get your hands on the £1,000 package through the PartyPoker Tour Challenge.
| Points | Reward |
|---|---|
| 20 | PartyPoker Tour Path round two ticket |
| 100 | PartyPoker Tour Path round three ticket |
| 400 | PartyPoker Tour Path round four ticket |
| 1,000 | 2x PartyPoker Tour Path round four ticket |
| 2,500 | £150 PartyPoker Tour Mini Main Event ticket |
| 7,500 | £500 PartyPoker Tour Main Event ticket |
| 18,000 | $1,000 PartyPoker Tour package |
PartyPoker Sending 1,000 Players to the Live Events
PartyPoker is fully committed to making its 2025 UK Tour a massive success by sending 1,000 players to its live events through various qualification methods. While online qualifiers starting at just $0.20 offer a direct path to securing a £1,000 package, there are also other ways for players to claim their seats.
Once at the tables, players won’t just be competing for event titles—they’ll also be battling for leaderboard points, with over £13,000 in prizes up for grabs for those who cash in PartyPoker Tour events throughout the year.
