How late can I register?
Late registration is listed event by event in the schedule: from 1 level for Flash to UDSO up to 13 levels for the Main Event and the PKO 6-Max. Most events allow 8 levels.
Is there cash game during the festival?
Yes, every day from 18:00 to 08:00. Sixteen tables in No Limit Hold'em and Pot Limit Omaha, blinds from 25/50 MAD (€2.5/5), minimum buy-in 1,000 MAD (€100).
What are the exact dates of the Unibet Poker Open Marrakech 2026 festival?
The festival runs from 24 September to 4 October 2026, eleven days of poker, in two parts: the Unibet DeepStack Open (UDSO) from 24 to 29 September, then the Unibet Open proper from 30 September to 4 October.
Do I need to register for the tournaments in advance, or can I do it on site?
Both are possible. Online pre-registration is generally offered before the festival, and dedicated cashier desks will be open on site throughout the festival, located in the immediate vicinity of the main tournament room.
How can I qualify for the Main Event?
Two main routes: online satellites organised by the operator before the festival, and live satellites organised directly in Marrakech during the festival. Check the qualification schedule for the exact dates of the 2026 edition.
I missed the online satellites, can I still qualify on site?
Yes, live satellites are generally organised in Marrakech itself, in particular for the Main Event and the High Rollers, in the days preceding these tournaments.
I have won an online satellite, what should I do next?
You will normally be contacted automatically by email just after your win by the Unibet team. Please fill in the registration form provided promptly, before the stated deadline. Remember to check your spam folder.
I have qualified but I can no longer come: can I be refunded?
No, as a general rule, a ticket won via a satellite is not refundable if you are unable to attend the festival. Please check your availability carefully before attempting a qualification. In case of a particular problem, please enquire with the online gaming site.
Can I get a refund on a paid entry if I have to cancel my participation in a tournament?
This is sometimes possible if you let us know before the start of the tournament, but part of the amount may be withheld to cover any administrative fees. The refund is immediate if payment was made in cash, and within a few days via bank card.
Can I use my online bankroll (site pot) to pay for a registration on site?
In general, no: on site registrations must be settled in dirhams, by bank card or via the casino card. Some operators allow you to convert loyalty points into a buy-in for the Main Event via their VIP shop.
What are the flagship tournaments of the festival?
The schedule notably includes a Main Event UDSO (buy-in around 6 000 MAD), a High Roller (around 16 000 MAD), a Main Event Unibet Open (around 12 000 MAD, with several qualifying flights), as well as a Monster Stack and a Super High Roller.
Where can I check the precise structures of each tournament?
The full structures are generally available on the festival's official website www.marrakechpoker.com.
What rules apply during the tournaments?
The rules of the TDA (Tournament Directors Association), or rules largely inspired by them, are applied by the officials, the standard across the vast majority of live festivals.
Will there be side events and low buy-in tournaments for players with a limited budget?
Yes, most festivals of this type offer a wide range of side events (Monster Stack, turbo, ladies event, etc.) at buy-ins more accessible than the Main Event.
What are the blinds offered in cash game during the festival?
A wide range is generally available: daily tables starting at 25/50 MAD in No-Limit Hold'em and PLO, up to higher stakes tables (sometimes 500/1000 MAD).
Is there streaming or coverage of the festival for those who cannot travel?
Yes: continuous written coverage in French and English as well as a live stream of the final table (cards visible, commentated by experts) are offered on the operator's platforms. Check the official channels announced for the 2026 edition (Youtube, Twitch, FB live).
