In an exclusive collaboration, Paddy Power Poker and Sky Poker are joining forces to send 30 lucky players on a week-long, high-stakes adventure this summer to the entertainment capital of the world - Las Vegas.

From March 2nd to May 24th, 2026, you have 12 weeks to secure one of 30 coveted packages worth approximately £3,500 each. Whether you're a tournament specialist or a cash game grinder, your seat in Sin City is waiting.

The Prize: A Rockstar Experience

The "Road to Las Vegas" package promises more than just flights to Las Vegas. Players will receive a seven-night package from June 13-20, just in time for the 2026 World Series of Poker.

Here's the full package up for grabs:

  • 7 Nights at Planet Hollywood: Stay in the heart of the Vegas Strip
  • Travel & Expenses: £1,000 credited to your account for flights, plus $1,000 cash upon arrival for spending.
  • VIP Treatment: Exclusive Food Vouchers, a Welcome Party (June 14th), and a Leaving Party (June 18th).
  • Plus One: Bring a guest to share your hotel room and the Vegas vibes!

How to Qualify: Choose Your Path

There are three main ways to punch your ticket to Nevada. Remember to opt-in via the Missions or Leaderboard hubs to ensure your play counts!

1. The Satellites (10 Packages Up for Grabs)

If you love the thrill of a deep-stack tournament, the satellites offer the most direct route to Vegas. Running daily from March 2nd through May 10th, these £5 buy-in "Phase" tournaments give you multiple chances to build a massive stack.

You can join Day 1 flights every night at 7:00pm, 9:15pm, and 10:30pm. The unique advantage here is that you can qualify for the Day 2 Final multiple times, with all the chips you bag from different Day 1 sessions combined into a single, powerhouse starting stack for the Final. With 10 packages guaranteed through this route, it's all about survival and accumulation.

2. Twister to Vegas (4 Packages Up for Grabs)

For those who prefer the fast-paced action of three-handed Sit & Gos, the Twister to Vegas promotion is your best bet.

From March 2nd to March 29th, you can compete on weekly leaderboards by playing "classic" Twister games with buy-ins ranging from €1 to €10. Your rank is determined by your best score over a block of 20 games, and with 99 resets available, you can keep trying until you hit a peak performance.

The player at the very top of the leaderboard each week wins the full £3,500 Vegas package, while those finishing in 2nd through 30th place walk away with a share of over €1,600 in Twister tickets.

3. Vegas Leaderboards (4 Packages Up for Grabs)

If you’re a regular at the UK&I exclusive cash tables or tournaments, the weekly Vegas Leaderboards reward your consistency.

Throughout March, you can earn 12 leaderboard points for every £1 paid in rake or tournament fees. This format is perfect for "volume" players who want to turn their daily sessions into a trip of a lifetime.

The top point-earner each week secures their spot at Planet Hollywood, but the rewards don't stop there—the top 30 players every week are guaranteed a prize, with 2nd through 30th place sharing a £3,000 cash prize pool credited directly to their accounts.

Terms & Conditions Apply

Before you start your journey toward the neon lights, there are a few key details to keep in mind. While players as young as 18 can participate in the promotions, US casino laws are strict: you must be 21 or older by June 13th, 2026, to actually claim and use the Las Vegas package.

These coveted prizes are exclusive and non-transferable, meaning there is no cash alternative if you can't make the trip, and each player is limited to winning a maximum of one package across both Paddy Power and Sky Poker.

To ensure a smooth trip, you’ll be responsible for your own travel documents, so make sure your passport is up to date and you’ve secured your US ESTA or Visa.
