The Poker Room
Genting Casino Stratford poker is located inside Westfield Stratford City, in The Loft at 312 Montfichet Road, London E20 1ET. The poker room works around the clock, every single day, so there is no shutdown period you need to work around. For late-night sessions or an early start after work, it genuinely stays practical. We treat it as the largest dedicated poker room in the country, and that view is supported by third-party poker directories, not just our own marketing.
The space was set up specifically for live poker and it sits away from the main casino gaming floor. That separation is more useful than it looks on paper. It gives the room a focused feel, a bit calmer where it needs to be, without the constant sound of slots and other machines coming through every hand.

Tournament Schedule
Our tournament calendar is maintained and refreshed on the official site at gentingcasinos.co.uk/poker-schedule-genting-casino-stratford. It is always better to check it before you set off, not when you are already in Stratford. Buy-in levels, starting times and formats for each event sit there in one place, covering weekly recurring tournaments plus bigger monthly fixtures.
We also stage British Poker Series dates here - BPS200, BPS Carnival and BPS Championship - so Stratford is firmly part of the UK live tournament circuit. These events go beyond a small local night; in industry terms they are treated as established national stops.
To enter a tournament with minimum friction, players usually do the following:
- Look at the current schedule online before leaving home.
- Pick a date, start time and buy-in that fits their bankroll plan.
- Get to The Loft roughly 30 minutes ahead of the advertised start.
- Bring valid photo ID - entry is restricted to players aged 18 or over.
- Go straight to the poker room desk and register with the floor team.
- Take the seat card and chip stack from the dealer or floor staff.
- Make sure they are in the correct seat before the first blind level begins.
Some tournaments allow pre-registration. To check if a particular event supports advance entry, call the poker room team directly on +44 20 8536 5656. For busier British Poker Series days and monthly headline events, it is normally worth making that call.
There is one practical point that applies across the industry and we follow the same logic here: if you are travelling purely for a specific tournament, phone or check online the day before to confirm the event is still scheduled. Calendars can change.
Cash Games and Promotions
Cash game poker at Genting Casino Stratford runs on a continuous basis. Seats will be available at almost any time of day or night, which is one of the natural advantages of a 24-hour room. Unlike tournaments, you can choose when to buy in and when to rack up, whether you want a quick session or to settle in for a much longer one.
Alongside the core cash action, we currently operate two regular promotions.
The Monthly Cash Race uses a points-based leaderboard that runs over a full calendar month. Players earn points simply by playing qualifying cash game hands, and at the end of the month the prize pool is shared among the players who finished highest on that leaderboard. The Super Jackpot follows a different model: it is linked to specific qualifying hand conditions at the table, effectively adding an extra prize layer on top of the normal pot when those conditions are met. Both promotions are offered under formal terms and conditions, and actual prize values or mechanics can be updated. So in line with usual market practice, we always recommend checking with the poker room staff for the current details before you sit down.
| Promotion | Format | How to Qualify |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly Cash Race | Points leaderboard | Accumulate points through cash game hands during the month |
| Super Jackpot | Hand-triggered prize | Hit the qualifying hand condition at a cash game table |
Our floor team manages seat allocation and table balancing, and they can advise which stakes and formats are running when you arrive at the desk. If you are unsure what tables are open, just ask the staff and they will direct you.
