Access Routes to the €1,100 Main Event

There are three primary ways for players to secure a seat in the Unibet Open Main Event.

Online Qualification via Unibet Poker

Players can win packages online through the Unibet Poker software. In the client, players can go to the "Tournaments" section, open the "Full Schedule" view, and filter by "Unibet Open" to find qualifiers ranging from freerolls to weekly finals. 


Packages generally include the Main Event buy-in, four nights of lodging, travel expenses, and daily meals.

Live Satellite Tournaments

Players traveling to Marrakech without an entry can play live satellites at the Casino de Marrakech. Several 2,000 MAD satellites are scheduled before and during the Main Event starting flights. Each event is listed with a target prize pool value of 140,000 MAD, representing multiple Main Event entries based on field size.
