The Series will include a R100, 000 High Stakes Championship as well as a R30, 000 High Roller, but there are also 6 events with a buy-in of less than R6, 000.

A Global Attraction
ShuffleUp Poker is proud and excited to join forces with Montecasino to bring the SA Poker Open back to its beautiful home.
The inaugural series in 2023 proved that Africa wanted a National Poker Tournament. We had players from around the globe, mainly from SA and Africa.
The lure of winning a Championship Poker Tournament and over R1, 500,000 will attract players from all around the world once again.

We have put together an incredible schedule and truly believe that every event has the perfect structure to promote great tournament value. We look forward to welcoming every poker enthusiast to Montecasino and invite you all to enjoy the magnificent property with all its attractions while playing for the most prestigious and coveted poker title in Africa. It’s the Poker Title every poker CV wants, and although there can only be one SA Poker Open Champion, there are 11 other titles up for grabs and millions to be won.
