About the MPNPT

Founded in 2014 as a small London poker festival to bring together some players from the Microgaming Poker Network to participate in a live event, the MPN Poker Tour has expanded to become a major international series.

The tour is run by Microgaming and its poker rooms with an ethos 'Fun, Friendly and Affordable'. Events are deliberately kept low-priced to enable anybody to take part, although not too cheap so that prizes will be worth winning.

Each event offers big guarantees, attracting hundreds of players each time.
