We believe that poker players are worthy of benefiting from the best rates and conditions when booking a poker holiday trip.

To receive this special rate, referred to as ‘player price’, the guest must qualify for the cash game hours requirement. This is usually between 12 to 16 hours total play during the event weekend and is listed in the 'event page' of every destination.

Guests must first pay the ‘guest price’ and once they have qualified for the reimbursement they will receive a cash reimbursement from the poker room on the last day of the event. This cash reimbursement converts the total price from ‘guest price’ to ‘player price’.

At the end of the event, players who have qualified for the cash game hours reimbursement, will have to pay the beforehand mentioned ‘player price’.

Poker Travel operates in conjunction with the best travel agents vis-à-vis the selected destinations and strictly ensures that the guest price remains attractive for every guest, in particular for those non poker players who join the trip.

All bookings through Poker Travel are executed initially at guest prices. The player price, as published on the website, will be granted subject to compliance with the reimbursement terms.

Each of the poker rooms that host the Poker Travel events keep meticulous records of each player's game time.

First of all, each Poker Travel guest is given a unique Poker Travel bracelet, by the means of which the poker room identifies the guest and tracks play time. In addition, the bracelet imparts the range of benefits and discounts offered to Poker Travel guests.

Each guest wearing the bracelet is registered when sitting around the table and the total hours are added up at the end of each session.

The registration and accumulated playing hours are kept in such a manner that at the end of the event, players who complied with the reimbursement terms, that is a minimum of 4 hours play per day according to the total required, are invited to receive the reimbursement in cash at the poker room cash desk.

Yes, Poker Travel events are open to the general public and all poker enthusiasts are invited to participate.

This is the 'Hit & Run' option we offer our guests* where they can register at no cost and be rewarded cash rake back should they complete the cash game hours required.

In order to register for the 'Hit & Run' package please visit the desired event page on our website, then click the 'Book Now' button.

You will need to register as a Poker Travel site member at no cost.

Once you verify your registration choose the 'Hit & Run' option and complete the registration for the event.

You will receive an email confirming your registration to the event as a 'Hit & run' package guest.

When you arrive at your destination be sure to contact our event representative - his/her phone is shown on the event page. They will give you your Poker Travel bracelet which is how the poker room tracks your cash game hours.

Once you complete the cash game hours required for the reimbursement you will receive €100 in cash from the poker room cashier on the last day of the event.

* The 'Hit & Run' package above is available only for Poker Travel guests who travel to the destination from another country. Local players can not receive these benefits in

their country of origin, but are welcome to join other destinations as guests and enjoy these benefits.

Poker Travel operates in conjunction with the best travel agents vis-à-vis the selected destinations and strictly ensures that the guest prices remain attractive for every guest, in particular for those non poker players who join the holiday trip.
