“I’ll be back.” That is Arnold Schwarzenegger’s famous quote from “The Terminator”. Indeed, he returned in the sequel (albeit in the form of another T-800 with a similar appearance). We could talk about fictional robots all day, but that’s not the purpose of this metaphor. Presumably, PartyPoker uttered the same catch phrase after the 2023 Irish Poker Open Festival MILLIONS by PartyPoker. After that event, PartyPoker left the live poker scene.
The brand has pulled off a Schwarzenegger this year, though, as they did return – and in some fashion. It’s been nearly one year since PartyPoker announced its return to the live poker scene, and after four stops across the UK, it’s soon time for the last stretch of the 2025 PartyPoker Tour. December 14-21, the final PartyPoker winners of the year will be crowned in London, and the best part is that players still can qualify for the event online for mere pennies.
“Secret Sauce,” Carter Says
The 2025 PartyPoker Tour was targeted towards the UK grassroots community, and even though the fifth and final event is still to be played, it’s safe to say the organizers know how to arrange a live poker festival. All the players have greatly appreciated the tour. Although the four earlier events were quite some distance apart (London, Manchester, Glasgow, and Birmingham), many players still traveled to all the stops. They know that PartyPoker is a tour for the players that promises a certain standard, affordable tournaments with impeccable structures, and a lot of fun both on and off the field.
The final stop of 2025 is just days away from kicking off. The 2025 PartyPoker Tour London (Winter Edition) will be played December 14-21 at Genting Casino Stratford (formerly known as Aspers). The poker.pro editorial office has already revealed everything there is to know about the festival, including the three poker.pro-branded Mixed Games that are on the schedule.
What’s worth mentioning, though, is that players can still qualify online. At the beginning of the year, PartyPoker announced that it would send 1,000 qualifiers to the live scene. They’ve held this promise, and then some; the number of qualifiers has been insane, and it’s been a slam dunk of a campaign. It’s not over yet, though, as players still can secure their spots for the poker adventure of a lifetime for just mere pennies and cents.
On the PartyPoker online poker client, there is a five-step path players can partake in, aiming to win a £1,000 package that can be used for any tour stop. The said package is up for grabs in round five, the final stage. Players can choose to register for round three for £5, or they can start from round one, with the dream of turning their £0,20 into a four-digit package.
The online satellites and qualifiers really are the best thing about the PartyPoker Tour, and it’s proof that they’re going to great lengths to offer all their players the best opportunities possible to experience live poker. PartyPoker Tour Ambassador Barry Carter is one of many who appreciate the qualifiers, and he claims that the campaign is a big ingredient to the tour’s success.
Just to put the cherry on top, PartyPoker delivered some more good news a few days ago, also regarding the qualifiers. All tickets won for any of the 2025 stops will be extended, meaning players will be able to use them for any 2026 PartyPoker Tour stop. If a player, for example, has a ticket left on their account but wouldn’t be able to travel to London in December, they will now be able to put the ticket to good use in 2026 instead. PartyPoker recently announced the first confirmed stops of 2026, and considering how exciting they all sound, all PartyPoker grinders should be very pleased with this news.
The feeling is in the air; PartyPoker aims to wrap up its 2025 live season in stellar fashion. The atmosphere will be absolutely buzzing in London, and all players would be very wise to hit the qualifiers as soon as possible.
