UKPL Edinburgh: £275K GTD Festival Underway with 888poker

The UK Poker League (UKPL) has arrived in Edinburgh, with the Grosvenor Casino Maybury hosting the fourth stop of the 2025 season. Taking place from June 17 to 22, the festival promises a total £275,000 guaranteed prize pool across seven tournaments, with 888poker returning as the main sponsor for a second consecutive year.

The Maybury, a landmark venue in the Scottish capital, offers a stylish setting for what has become a key stop on the UKPL calendar. The tour caters primarily to recreational and aspiring live players, with accessible buy-ins starting at £90 and capped at £1,100 for the High Roller.

As at each stop, the £560 buy-in Main Event stands at the center of the festival. Featuring multiple Day 1 flights, it is designed to accommodate both local grinders and satellite qualifiers. Other events include a value-packed Opener, Turbo, and Progressive Knockout, creating a varied schedule with room for different bankrolls and playstyles.

Players finishing in the money across any event earn points toward the UKPL season leaderboard, where the eventual champion will receive a £40,000 prize. The Edinburgh stop follows successful outings in Reading, Portsmouth, and Newcastle, the latter of which drew 344 Main Event entries and a £163,400 prize pool. After Edinburgh, the UKPL heads to Liverpool (September) and Coventry (November finale) to close out the six-stop season.

To support live participation, 888poker has provided online satellite access to the Edinburgh Main Event. Players could win seats via direct $55 qualifiers or enter through step satellites starting from just $0.01, reinforcing the event’s accessibility.

Edinburgh is also part of a broader strategy by 888poker to grow its live presence in 2025. The operator is currently running its separate 888poker LIVE tour, with previous stops in Madrid, Glasgow, and Barcelona. A London stop is confirmed for September, while a mystery destination will round out the year.

Beyond live events, 888poker continues to engage its online player base through promotions such as the Summer Sale Series—offering discounted tournament entries while maintaining guarantees—and Card Strike, a gamified cash game promo.

The UKPL Edinburgh stop combines competitive poker with player-focused structures, local accessibility, and 888poker’s ongoing support. With its balanced schedule, substantial guarantees, and leaderboard incentives, the stop is set to attract a wide range of players in one of the UK’s most iconic cities.
