What's the big idea?
To host a weekend of poker fun! There are thousands of budding poker players out there who like their poker to be about having a laugh, having a few drinks, being relaxed and sociable.

There will be no muddy fields or pouring rain at this festival. What we can promise is:

• €150 two day, deep stacked main event with £5000 added to the main event prize pot!
• Virgin bounties including flights to Vegas and Virgin Experience Days such as rally driving.
• Professional dealers on all tables.
• Value added side events for friends, family and knocked out players on both days.
• A bad beat jackpot of a flight to Vegas.

There are also plenty of quirky Virgin features involving all our favourite things, drinking promos, Virgin girls, charity games, and even Nintendo Wii Bowling!

All this adds up to a cracking weekend of poker that is memorable, action packed and above all fun!

How can players qualify?
Upon announcement every Virgin Poker Festival will be heavily promoted on virginpoker.com and in the Virgin poker room. All players must qualify online. Virgin runs direct satellites for the main event and satellites for a seat at the regular online Festival Finals to make the event as inclusive as possible.
