FAQ
Where do I register for a poker tournament?
Most live festivals register directly with the organiser: buy in at the registration desk of the host casino or club during the festival, with your passport. Bigger series also open pre-registration on the organiser's website or social page, and each event closes registration at a set blind level. To find festivals near you, type a city (e.g. "Hanoi") into the search box above and open the festival page for dates and venue. Not sure how to register for a given festival? Message Gemmy on Messenger (m.me/gemmyy.tue.an) and the team will point you to the registration channel, the late-reg cutoff and what ID to bring.Message Gemmy on Messenger ↗
Where does this calendar get its data, and how often is it updated?
The calendar is aggregated automatically every day from public sources, currently tracking 137 festivals across 22 countries in 2026. Dates and venues can change late — always double-check the organizer's official channels before booking flights or hotels.
Which festivals run in Vietnam in 2026?
Vietnam hosts 21 festivals in 2026 on record. Coming up: USOP Grand Championship Vietnam 2026 (Oct 22 – Nov 4); HSOP Grinder Series III 2026 (Oct 28 – Nov 8, Hanoi); Grand Loyal Poker Championship VI 2026 (Nov 18 – Nov 29); GLPC Ultimate Showdown 2026 (Nov 18 – Nov 29, Hanoi); RPT Grand Final 2026 (Nov 30 – Dec 11, Hanoi).
Which festival should a beginner start with?
Pick one close to home to keep travel costs down, enter the smaller buy-in side events early in the series, and only bring money you can afford to lose — basic bankroll discipline. Read Gemmy's poker guide before your first live series.
How much are the buy-ins?
This calendar shows festival-level dates and venues. A festival usually bundles dozens of events across a wide buy-in range, and organisers publish the full structure close to the start date — check the festival’s official channels for exact numbers.
What does the bright gold bar in the timeline mean?
That festival is running today. A ← arrow means it started last month; a → arrow means it continues into next month.
