Summer is in the air, the birds are chirping, the sun is showing itself, and the warmth seems to have reached the United Kingdom. The 2026 Football World Cup will also be taking place but, more importantly, Casino Manchester235 is opening its doors to the PartyPoker Tour Manchester stop, and the ever-so-charming Doug Leonard and his fantastic suits will be welcoming players far and wide.

As always, we have lots of wonderful things to keep us entertained throughout the week. So let’s begin.

Off the Felt: Free Player Activities

PartyPoker is well known for many things, but bringing the party to where it’s at is part of its DNA. As always, it has planned a few activities to keep players entertained between tournaments, so check out what we have in store for you this upcoming week.

Loyalty Card

The Loyalty Card campaign is back, as PartyPoker keeps celebrating its 25th anniversary. Players who attended PartyPoker Tour Sheffield can now get their second stamp and a keyring! For full details of the campaign, you can check them out here.

Football Prediction Tournaments

With the Football World Cup kicking off, we are also running not one but two Football Prediction Tournaments. The first one will be taking place on 14th June; all questions will be based around the Netherlands vs Japan game. One lucky winner will get a £50,000 GTD Mini Main Event entry.

The second one will be taking place on 17th June; all questions will be based around the England vs Croatia game. On this occasion, two lucky winners will each get an entry to the NLH Turbo £2,000 Added Value Prize Draw tournament (8pm on 18th June).

Spin the Wheel

The famous PartyPoker Tour Wheel is back. Anybody who plays the £50,000 GTD Mini Main Event and the £100,000 GTD Main Event gets to spin the wheel – every entry and re-entry counts. Players need to have an active PartyPoker.com account to spin the wheel. New depositors get an additional spin of the wheel. Prizes include entries to the PartyPoker Sunday Carnival and Sunday Party, so make sure to stop by the Welcome Desk to get in on the action.

Poker.PRO is providing live coverage in English with our wonderful Christoffer Karlén.

Tournament fee structures and prize pool deductions vary across events, often making it difficult for players to assess true value. PartyPoker Tour operates a fully transparent model with no prize pool deductions or hidden fees, meaning 100% of the advertised prize pool is paid out, so what is shown is exactly what is played for. The initiative forms part of PartyPoker Tour’s ongoing “Putting Players First” campaign, centred around accessible buy-ins, transparent structures, and creating a festival experience aimed at everyday players, not just high rollers and professionals.
