Whether you’re new to poker, or an experienced gamer, we have a poker tournament to suit you.
You can buy in to one of our games for as little as £50, and with blinds starting at just £1/£2, you can enjoy your evening without raising the stakes too high. We offer the best value poker in London - all games are raked at 5% with a cap of £10 (£5 between 8am and 2pm).
We take an additional £1 out of pots over £25 for our new Cash Race which has a guaranteed monthly prize pool of £25,000, and the ever popular Bad Beat Jackpot which gives you the chance to win big even if you lose!
