Live Poker Worldwide: Whats On In March 2024

Grosvenor Casinos GUKPT continues in March with its first Blackpool event of the year, while the Tour’s UK Open kicks off the month. Underway since late February at Grosvenor Coventry, the £1,500 event is the only one of its kind on the tour’s 2024 schedule.

Grosvenor Poker has "live credit" satellites running daily, in which players can use the winninghs towards almost any live tournament in any Grosvenor casino in the UK.

Elsewhere, the recently announced WSOPC UK event takes place at Dusk Till Dawn in Nottingham. Satellites to this are running on GG Poker for players in the UK to try and bag a seat into the £1,100 tournament. There’s even an online day 1 on GG Poker on March 19th, with anyone who makes it through joining the live tournament on day 2.

If you want to take part, you'll need a GG Poker account. If you are yet to register, use the GG Poker bonus code wired to get started with a 100% deposit match worth up to $600.

The Amateur Poker Association & Tour (APAT) holds its Open Championship in Manchester from 22-24 March, with a £120 main event.

While February was a relatively quiet one for poker in Ireland, March sees the blinds being raised once again on the Emerald Isle. The month gets going with the Dublin Poker Festival, featuring a €570 main event. The Irish Poker Tour has an event in Cork as well as the special €100 for €100,000 St Patrick’s Day event in Dublin.

The most eagerly awaited event of the year in Ireland is the Irish Open, which traditionally takes place over the Easter Weekend. The festival runs from 25th March - 1st April, with the €1,150 main event from 27th March - 1st April.

Players on WPT Global have a chance to win a WPT Prime passport in weekly qualifiers. If you are registering for the first time, use WPT Global promo code WIRED to get the poker room's biggest available bonus.

March is a busy month, with three events in the middle of the month. The Mixed Game Championship runs from 11th - 15th March featuring a €400 buy-in 8-Game main event. The Poker North Masters has a €350 main event, as does the Novibet Euro Poker Championship.

Rozvadov close to the German border is a small village with a massive casino owned by Leon Tsoukernik. Kings Casino is famously Europe’s largest poker venue with over 200 tables. It hosts the WSOPE each year and has festivals running most of the year. In March the Eureka Poker Tour (silly name, whoever thought that one up is a muppet)* visits Rozvadov with a €1m guaranteed main event featuring six starting days.

*Yes, it was me.

The Deepstack Series is one of Europe’s most established tours, owned and managed by Alex Henry and takes place several times a year, mostly in France, but also in other European countries, such as Malta.

Neither of them are hosting events in March, but there are two other events taking place this month. Both are events targeting Italian players and several such events take place here every year. The Italian Poker Open festival is already underway and continues until March 5th, while Planet Poker’s festival runs from 20th-24th of the month. Both festivals feature main events with a €550 buy-in.

The PokerGo studio at Aria is set to be very busy in March, with both a mixed games festival and a PLO series taking place. In the final party of the month there is also WSOPC Las Vegas, which gets going from the 21st, at the Horseshoe Casino.

In addition to the WSOPC Las Vegas festival, there are three further WSOPCs taking place in other parts of the USA. The first of these is WSOIPC Hammond, near Chicago and is already in play, with the $1,700 main event scheduled to start on 7th March. 

As that festival is drawing to a close, WSOPC Tulsa in Oklahoma will just be getting started, running from March 7th until the 18th, with its main event scheduled for the last five days of the programme. The third WSOPC of the month is being held in Verona, New York.

There are also two RUNGOOD Poker Series events in March, starting with Tunica, Mississippi, which is already up and running good, with its $600 main event set to take place from 1-3 March. Later in the month another RUNGOOD festival takes place in Jacksonville, Florida, but the main event of this one is $1,200.

For those looking for an event with a more affordable buy-in, Doug Polk’s The Lodge in Round Rock Texas is holding a $200 buy-in event with multiple starting days called the Mini Monster! It boasts a $400,000 guarantee. Maybe Tesla will be there for some fun cash games too.

One event that is taking place this month is the Australian Poker Open in Sydney. The A$1,150 main event doesn’t actually start until the 4th of April, but the festival gets underway from March 27th.
