The Unibet DeepStack Open (UDSO) is set to return to Casino de Marrakech at Es Saadi Resort from September 12–21, 2025, for its 65th international edition.
Marrakech has long been one of the most popular stops on the UDSO calendar, with the mix of deep-structured poker and the city’s charm drawing players from across Europe and beyond. Previous editions have averaged around 800 entries in the Main Event, and another busy festival is expected this autumn.
A Festival with Plenty of Variety
This year’s schedule is spread across ten days and offers something for every type of player.
Things kick off with the UDSO Cup (4,500 MAD (€399), a warm-up event that always draws a lively field. The festival then moves into the USDO Silver and a string of bounty and knockout events before the spotlight turns to the UDSO Main Event (6,000 MAD (€531).
The Main Event begins with four Day 1 flights from September 17–19, including a turbo option for those who like to arrive late. Survivors then merge for Day 2 on September 20, with the final day set for Sunday, September 21.
Alongside the Main Event, players can find big one-day buy-ins like the UDSO High Roller (15,000 MAD / €1,329), the UDSO Gold (12,000 MAD / €1,063), and the always popular Monsterstack. The festival closes with “The Closer” on the final evening.

Qualify Live or Online
For players looking to get in on the action, there are plenty of ways to qualify. Unibet Poker is running weekly online satellites every Sunday, with full packages that include the Main Event buy-in, dinners, and hotel expenses.
Those already in Marrakech will also find live satellites running at Casino de Marrakech throughout the festival, giving late arrivals a chance to secure their seat for a fraction of the price.
