Win a unique live poker experience at the South Africa Poker Open for FREE via KKPoker online satellites.

KKPoker is excited to announce a new partnership with ShuffleUp Poker and the SA Poker Open, giving our community the chance to play the Main Event and enjoy additional benefits in a package worth US$1,500.

South Africa Poker Open

The South Africa Poker Open gives KKPoker players the chance to make a live poker trip to a destination that may be new to many international players.

Hosted by Montecasino in Johannesburg between 28 October – 8 November, the event’s highlight is the R4,000,000 (US$248,000 approx.) guaranteed Main Event, but the experience extends beyond the tournament itself.

The three package winners will also have the opportunity to visit Lion Park, providing a chance to experience one of the region’s wildlife attractions alongside their time at the poker tables.

For players traveling internationally, it creates a different kind of poker trip: live tournament competition combined with accommodation, local support and the opportunity to explore a new destination.

Package Details

Each South Africa Poker Open package won via KKPoker online satellites covers the key elements of the trip, allowing winners to focus on their live poker experience in Johannesburg. 

Each $1,500 Package Includes:

$900 South Africa Poker Open Main Event entry

Five nights at the three-star Piazza Hotel (Double room + breakfast)

Airport pickup

One-day Lion Park trip

Local travel and event support
