Merlin Poker: WorldPokerDeals' New Offline Partner

What is Merlin Poker?

Merlin Poker is a new European poker brand focused on players who prefer live cash games. The founders of the project entered the poker world during the 2003 boom, playing online on PokerStars and traveling extensively across Europe before gradually shifting their focus to live cash games.

Over time, this experience led to the establishment of PokerTourist.net, and in October 2025, the Merlin Poker Cash Game Tour was launched on this platform.

The main feature of these events is simple: no tournaments, only cash games. If tour participants meet the required playing time, they are entitled to free hotel.

The organizers are focusing on building a stable international player pool and ensuring consistent action for those who specialize in NLH and PLO. The tour is advertised as a permanent venue for cash game players seeking live action, new connections, and poker trips across Europe.

The project has already hosted stages in Bratislava and at Grand Casino Aš, and its geographic reach continues to expand.

A strong emphasis is placed on the community aspect. The organizers stay in direct contact with players through the Telegram community, where they publish festival announcements and special offers for participants.

You can find links to the Poker Tourist Community channels on Telegram and WhatsApp.

Another key feature is the accommodation bonus program. Depending on the stakes and volume of play, participants may receive complimentary hotel stays or apartments, making the trip significantly more cost-effective.

WorldPokerDeals is delighted to announce a partnership with Merlin Poker. Through this collaboration, our players and audience of  our website will receive updates on upcoming festivals, special offers, and opportunities to participate in Merlin Cash Game Tour events.

As part of the partnership, we are happy to provide comprehensive assistance and support to players planning to attend Merlin Poker events.
