SiGMA Poker Tour Malta: A Poker Festival Blending Competition with Networking and Luxury
The SiGMA Poker Tour Malta is set to take place from September 2nd to 7th, 2025, at the prestigious Portomaso Casino in St. Julian's, Malta. This event promises to be a significant poker festival, combining competitive poker with social and business networking in a luxurious setting.
Schedule Highlights
The event kicks off with a Warm-Up tournament that includes three Main Event seats added to the prize pool. Over the course of the week, there will be seven Main Event flights plus several Main Event satellites. Additional featured events include the Cubeia Platinum Freeroll, a Mystery Bounty closing event, the SiGMA Divas ladies event, a Poker Ambassadors Meet & Greet, and networking events for players and professionals.
Ticket Types
The Warm-Up Tournament Buy-In costs €110, with 3 Main Event buy-ins added to the prizes. The Platinum Ticket grants access to invitation-only exclusive tournaments and VIP events, including a no-risk high-stakes fun tournament and seated networking dinners. Tickets range from general entries for the tournaments to premium invitations for exclusive networking and entertainment.
Main Event Details
