German Poker Days

What German Poker Days does

German Poker Days is the consumer-facing brand of German Events GmbH & Co. KG, a privately held German limited partnership founded in 2008 and based in Osnabrück, Lower Saxony (operational address: Ursula-Flick-Straße 5c, 49076 Osnabrück). The company operates as a multi-brand live-events and poker-entertainment platform, running 500+ events annually across more than 40 German cities. Its core offering is organized live poker tournaments (Texas Hold'em No Limit) at local venues, with entry fees ranging from €15 to €40 and prizes paid in travel vouchers and material goods rather than cash. A secondary line, German Poker Tours, packages all-inclusive poker trips to European destinations — most prominently King's Casino Rozvadov, plus Vienna, Mallorca, Croatia, and Alicante — and Las Vegas, with guaranteed prize pools ranging from €300,000 to €1,000,000.

The business extends across four sub-brands: German Poker Days (live tournaments), German Poker Tours (travel packages, ~5,000 annual participants), German Casino Events (mobile casino rentals for corporate and private functions), and BusinessPokern (no-stakes networking events for entrepreneurs). Online distribution runs through a strategic partnership with bwin Poker, which hosts branded satellite qualifiers (European Poker Days King's Qualifier) five times weekly with €0.01–€22 buy-ins and travel-voucher prizes. The company also operates a franchise/partner network across German cities and uses Discord, Instagram, TikTok, Twitch, and Facebook for community engagement. Revenue is generated through tournament entry fees, travel-package sales, mobile-casino event rentals, and corporate event tickets — pricing is transactional, and the firm is bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding.

Others

• Casino Events / Eventagentur Vergleich (mobile casino event providers): German event agency comparison platforms listing mobile casino and casino-night providers comparable to GPD's German Casino Events brand. These adjacent service providers compete for corporate Christmas-party, trade-show, and team-building event budgets in the same German B2B market segment.
• King's Casino Rozvadov: Europe's largest poker casino and GPD's primary travel-package destination partner. While not a direct competitor (it is the venue/operator and GPD is the tour operator), it is the most strategically comparable entity given its scale, prize-pool capacity, and central role in GPD's premium festival revenue.

Emerging players

• The Festival Series (Thomas Koster): The Festival Series runs multi-destination European poker festival stops (Malta, Tallinn, Bratislava) with guaranteed prize pools. Directly comparable to GPD's poker travel/tour product offering, serving overlapping recreational and semi-pro player segments.
• GGPoker / GGPoker ONLIVE: GGPoker has rapidly scaled branded live poker events (WSOP Online, GGPoker Live) leveraging its large online player base. Emerging as a direct competitor in the integrated online-to-offline tournament space where GPD's bwin satellite strategy plays.

Direct peers

• PokerStars Live (European Poker Tour / EPT): PokerStars Live runs the European Poker Tour and other international poker tournament circuits. It is the most direct comparable to GPD: organizes branded live poker tournaments and tours across multiple European destinations with large guaranteed prize pools, similar customer base of recreational and serious players, and similar event-driven GTM.
• partypoker LIVE: partypoker LIVE organizes multi-stop poker tournament tours across Europe and other regions in partnership with its online platform. Comparable to GPD as an integrated online-to-offline poker tournament operator running branded live events with partner casinos.
• 888poker Live: 888poker Live organizes branded live poker events in partnership with venues across Europe. Direct peer in online poker operator-driven live event business model, comparable customer segment and prize-pool-based festival format.
• World Series of Poker (WSOP / Caesars Entertainment): WSOP is the largest and most recognized poker tournament brand globally, operating annual festival events with massive guaranteed prize pools. Directly comparable to GPD's flagship festivals (German Poker Masters, German Clubs Championship) in product category, customer profile, and prize-pool-driven revenue model.

Broad incumbents

• PokerGO: PokerGO is the leading poker media/content platform that also operates and broadcasts high-stakes poker events and festivals. Broad incumbent in the poker tournament space with overlapping premium-event customer base and prize-pool-driven economics.

Regional players

• Casino Montesino Vienna: One of the largest poker rooms in Austria and a German Poker Tours destination. Comparable as a regional poker venue operator serving the same German-speaking recreational poker tourist segment that GPD packages into travel destinations.
