New Player Guide

Playing your first BPS event

A quick guide for first-time BPS players: what to bring, how to register, which event to choose and where to follow live updates.

Before You Arrive

Simple checklist

Plan your event, arrive with ID and use the live channels so you are not relying on screenshots or old social posts.

1

Choose your event

BPS200 is the main mid-stakes format. Trophy side events are shorter. Satellites are lower-cost routes into bigger events.

2

Check the structure

Use the BPS200, Carnival and Ladies pages for levels, starting stacks, late registration and schedule details.

3

Bring photo ID

Genting Casino Stratford requires valid photo ID and venue entry remains subject to casino policy.

4

Follow updates

Join the WhatsApp Live Channel for reminders, seat news, schedule changes, winner photos and live coverage.

At The Venue

What to expect

Register at the poker desk, confirm the event and buy-in before entering, and ask staff if you need help with late registration, re-entry, structures or directions inside the venue.
