Registration essentials
Confirm admission, ID and payment requirements with Merit Poker. Initial-entry freeroll qualifiers advertise paid rebuys/add-ons; they are not an all-costs-free route. Accommodation offers contain inconsistent hotel references and are not quoted here.
This site does not accept entries or payments. Registration takes place through the organizer.
Planning your budget
Keep tournament entries separate from accommodation, airport transfers and meals. Allow for additional entries only when the tournament rules permit them.
Listed buy-ins are in their original currencies. Unconfirmed fees and live hotel rates are not estimated.
