Swiss Poker Series

The Swiss Poker Series is one of the main fixtures of live poker in Switzerland. The tour is built on licensed Swiss casinos — a market long kept apart from the major European tours, which has organised itself around regular festivals in recent years.

About Swiss Poker Series

The format is that of a national tour: a week of tournaments in one room, a deepstack Main Event spread over several starting flights, and a run of accessible side events around it. Buy-ins are denominated in Swiss francs, which makes them slightly deceptive to compare at a glance with euro-zone tours.

Switzerland also plays its geography: Basel, Geneva and Ticino are within driving distance of France, Germany and northern Italy, and these fields are noticeably more international than a purely domestic tour's. Dates, venues and programmes for the upcoming stops are detailed below.

Frequently asked questions

What currency are Swiss Poker Series buy-ins in?

Swiss francs (CHF), as for every tournament played in a Swiss casino. PokerMap shows amounts in their real currency and does not convert them, so a Swiss buy-in appears in CHF, not in euros.

Is live poker legal in Swiss casinos?

Yes. Swiss casinos operate under federal concessions and run poker tournaments within that regulated framework. The festivals listed here take place in licensed venues.

Do I need to be a Swiss resident to play these stops?

No. Stops are open to foreign players on the same terms as residents, subject to each casino's own entry rules (ID, minimum age). Basel and Geneva's proximity to France and Germany makes these fields particularly international.
