A new era of live poker in Europe begins in 2025 with the launch of the PokerStars Open, an exciting new tour consolidating PokerStars’ popular and prestigious regional tours under one dynamic banner.
The PokerStars Open combines the best elements of the UK and Ireland Poker Tour (UKIPT), Eureka Poker Tour, Estrellas Poker Tour (ESPT), and France Poker Series (FPS) to create a schedule of unmissable events across some of Europe’s most vibrant destinations.
It’s been six long years, but PokerStars is coming back to Italy with a bang thanks to our PokerStars Open tour – the PokerStars Open Campione. Offering stunning views of Lake Lugano, it’s not hard to see why the brilliant PokerStars Poker Room has been opened at the Casinò di Campione.

Plus, there aren’t many better places to unwind off the table than the elegant surroundings of Campione d'Italia, an Italian commune bordering the Swiss canton of Ticino. That’s right – it’s Italian charm mixed with Swiss beauty. As far as the perfect balance of competition and leisure activities goes, you won’t find many better.
