Partypoker is teaming up with Dusk Till Dawn Poker Club in the United Kingdom for the Grand Prix UK from Feb. 27 to March 14. The festival becomes the first online-live hybrid partypoker series.
That means opportunities for online poker players to enter events in whichever format they choose. Players will find a $625,000 guaranteed prize pool and the series brings something new to the platform.
“The resumption of normal service in the live poker calendar is something we’ve been looking forward to for what feels like a very long time,” partypoker head of poker room management Chris Donnachie said in a news release.
“Creating a hybrid series of live and online events will allow more players to get involved in the festival, no matter where they are located. The combination of live and online events in the Grand Prix UK will change the way players engage with our poker festivals and we’re eager to see how this inaugural hybrid series is received.”
Details on the partypoker Grand Prix UK
The first week of the festival brings a $109 Seven-Max PKO online event. The tournament comes with a $250,000 guarantee. An $11 Mini Knockout also gets underway with a guarantee of $50,000. Players will find numerous starting flights in both events.
The £150 Main Event kicks off on March 6 with several Day 1 flights and a £150,000 guarantee. There will be several ways for players to buy into the tournament including:
- buying into partypoker holding tanks
- Luxon Pay
- cash at Dusk Till Dawn
Live action begins when Dusk Till Dawn hosts part of the Main Event from March 10-13. A total of 12 Main Event Day 1 flights are planned, with nine running online and three running live.
The second and final day of action is set for March 13 with all players reaching Day 2 making it in the money.
Geared toward recreational players
With the Grand Prix UK, party is once again reaching out to recreational players. To accommodate this player segment, three of the online starting flights will be in the “Sprint” format.
Levels last just three minutes, speeding up the process and allowing competitors to get into the money faster.
Players of all bankrolls can battle for a shot to be a Main Event champion. Numerous online satellites are planned with buy-ins starting from just one cent.
Those registering for the championship online also have a chance for some added value. These participants are automatically entered into a “Last Longer” competition.
The top 10 finishers in the Last Longer receive a range of prizes including:
- a $22 Grand Prix Mini ticket
- an official golden chip card protector
- a collectors’ merchandise goodie bag
The winner of the Last Longer earns a £550 ticket for a future live event at Dusk Till Dawn.
The $22 Mini Main Event also offers nine starting flights and a $50,000 guarantee. The tournament concludes on the final day of the series.
The last day of the festival also brings a $109 Super109 Six-Max PKO with a $75,000 guarantee. Here’s a look at the complete schedule.

Free prizes up for grabs with Magic Cards
In other site news, the Magic Cards promotion returns to partypoker this month, offering players a chance at free prizes.
The site is giving away a daily free pick and players can earn an additional higher-value pick by playing fastforward, cash, or SPINS games.
Players competing in those games are in luck with Magic Cards, which runs through March 1. After playing any qualifying formats, they can head to the “Offers/Promotions” section.
Players then start a poker journey to earn a daily pick. Those participating choose one of four cards and each selection could reveal an instant prize.
Rewards can include poker tickets, free sports bets, free casino spins, cash prizes, and more. The promotions section shows when they can next unlock a Magic Cards pick.
Beyond the daily free pick, players can give themselves an extra chance to win each day. Players contributing $3 in rake earn a second daily pick.
“We are bringing Magic Cards back as a non-intrusive engagement layer to create extra winning moments for all our players,” partypoker’s promotions and planning manager Robin van den Heuvel said, “and create more enjoyment for their favorite fastforward, cash, and SPINS games.”
