Unibet
If you are a lower stakes player then Unibet is the site for you. They have a much more affordable path to live poker this year.
They have a more flexible approach to live satellites. Their live satellite trees go €2->€10->€50->€250.
After that, you can use your €250 live package ticket to qualify for a full package in the event of your choice.
At the time of writing you can use your tickets to qualify for the Unibet Deepstack Open in Barcelona between February 6-10 and the Unibet Deepstack Open in Aix-En-Provence between February 18-23.

Irish Open 2025 Qualifiers at iPoker
iPoker has started its biggest satellite campaign ever to get you to the Irish Open in April.
Starting Monday, January 6th, at least 66 packages worth €2,250 (Main Event Buy-In €1,150 and Spending money including travel expenses: € 1,100), 85 seats worth €1,150, and 40 seats worth €250 for the Mini Main Event will be up for grabs. Whether through a freeroll or for as little as €1, there are plenty of ways to secure your spot at the Irish Open!
This marks the largest and most ambitious qualifiers campaign iPoker has ever hosted. With a significant expansion in package and seat allocations, the campaign will also introduce new events, bring back the popular Irish Open Twisters, and culminate in the larger-than-ever Episode 3: €2,500,000 Road to Dublin tournament series later in Spring 2025.
The Irish Open qualifiers on iPoker offer a range of buy-ins to suit every bankroll:
- Mini Main Event Seat Satellites: €1 - €10

- Package Satellites: Freeroll - €150
With such an ambitious offering this year, expect overlays aplenty between now and the start of the Irish Open.

Proving they are once again the home of affordable live satellites, KKPoker has just announced an Irish poker tour.
KKPoker Tour (KKPT) Ireland will stop in Cork, Westmeath, Tullamore, Mayo, Mullingar, Limerick and Dublin.
Each event will have a €150 buy-in, with the exception of the €300 final event in Dublin with a €100,000 guarantee at the Dublin Poker Club.
Every €150 event winner automatically gets a seat in that event, and anyone who attends two or more events will be invited to a special online freeroll on March 11 to win tickets to the finale.
$15 online satellites to each event will take place three times a week at KKPoker.
This will be the first of many countries to host KKPT events, as the tour expands to multiple nations in 2025.
| Event | Date |

| Mayo | 8 Feb |
| Mullingar | 22 Feb |
| Limerick | 7 - 9 Mar |
