The Vic plays host to the GUKPT twice a year. 2012 will see the £1,000 leg 10 from 16th - 23rd September with the £2,500 Grand Final from 24th November - 2nd December.

We also have been host to the London leg of the European Poker Tour, (EPT) since its inception. The schedule for Season 9 is yet to be announced.

We offer the widest spread of cash games anywhere in London, from £1-£1 upwards in Hold'em and £1-£2 upwards in Omaha. We also have dealers choice and mixed games. You can our cash game offereings and charges on our website.

In 2011 our Loyalty Bonus scheme, on the rake cash games, proved extremely popular with prize pools regularly exceeding £30,000 every month:

Unlike rival poker room 'Bad Beat' or 'Rake Race' Jackpots we only take 50 pence from players and ALL monies collected go into the prize pool, (No administration fee is taken from the 50 pence's).


Hope to see you at The Vic in 2012!
