Our recent UKPL event in Newcastle was a huge success, showcasing impressive participation numbers for the main event. In a fantastic display of skill, local talent and 888poker ambassador Ian Simpson emerged victorious in that competition, just after his earlier triumph at the 888pokerLIVE event in Madrid.

We're excited to replicate that success in Edinburgh from June 17 to 22 with our UKPL poker league segment at Grosvenor Casino’s The Maybury. This venue, housed in a stunning art deco building, offers poker aficionados a distinctive and high-end experience.

Edinburgh, the historic capital of Scotland with origins stretching back to 8500 BC, provides poker enthusiasts the opportunity to explore its rich architecture, vibrant culture, and numerous attractions beyond the gaming tables.

As we continue to enhance our collaboration with Grosvenor Casinos, the UKPL event in Edinburgh is definitely one you won’t want to skip.

Mark your calendars for the UKPL series in Edinburgh, June 17 – 22, 2025!
