- A Sudden Change in Plans
- The Future of the EPT
PokerStars and Club Barrière have announced the cancellation of the European Poker Tour (EPT) Paris 2025, which was originally scheduled to run from February 12-23 at Le Palais des Congrès.
The cancellation is part of a broader uncertainty surrounding Paris’s gaming landscape. Recent developments indicate that gaming clubs in the city, which have operated under strict regulations since 2019, are at risk of closure by the end of the year.
A Sudden Change in Plans
The announcement comes as a shock, particularly after the news comes exactly a month since the unveiling of the 2025 EPT schedule.
EPT Paris was slated to kick off the tour's new season, returning for its third year after record-breaking attendance in 2024. Last year’s France Poker Series Main Event drew 4,149 entries, while the EPT Main Event attracted 1,224 players from 69 countries, with Barny Boatman crowned champion.
However, shifting licensing requirements have created too much uncertainty for the February event to proceed. PokerStars noted that while they are exploring options to reschedule EPT Paris, no timeline has been set.
PokerStars had already had begun offering online satellites to the festival, including packages that included buy-ins, accommodation, and travel expenses, with options for both the EPT Main Event and the France Poker Series Main Event.
For players who had already secured online packages for the event, PokerStars has said that they will reach out to anyone affected to address concerns and have provided some helpful FAQs on their website.
PokerStars is urging players to contact [email protected] if they require any further assistance.
The Future of the EPT
Despite this setback, PokerStars and Club Barrière remain optimistic about working with French authorities to establish a more stable regulatory framework, potentially paving the way for a return to Paris in the future.
While a return to the city of lights is off the table for now, the rest of the 2025 European Poker Tour schedule remains intact.
The tour will head to Monte-Carlo from April 30 to May 10, with its glamorous tournament room overlooking the Mediterranean. Then, from August 18-31, EPT Barcelona will bring its signature energy, large fields, and massive prize pools back to Casino Barcelona.
But the cancellation of EPT Paris leaves an unexpected gap in the 2025 calendar. It also raises speculation about the potential addition of new stops later in the year. Both Cyprus, which joined the EPT circuit in 2023, and longtime favorite Prague, were notably absent from the initial schedule. Perhaps they may still have a role to play in the second half of 2025.
PokerStars has promised to provide updates on any developments regarding EPT Paris or other potential events as they arise. For now, the poker community will have to wait to see how the tour evolves in the wake of this unexpected change.

- It might be a good idea to modify your strategy if a player has a tendency to hold onto particular ranks or suits for extended periods of time. You could do this by blocking their possible melds or by concentrating on finishing your own combinations faster. Gaining a competitive edge that could ultimately result in your victory can be achieved by becoming acutely aware of your opponents' movements and modifying your strategy in response to their gameplay. Understanding when to stop playing a round or keep playing is essential for controlling risk and optimizing possible gains in Rummy Gold.

- In Rummy Gold, jokers and wild cards are game-changers that give players special chances to greatly improve their hands. They are very useful for rapidly creating melds because these adaptable cards can be used in place of any other card in a set or sequence. It's crucial to strategically use wild cards when playing; doing so can help you win while also keeping your opponents guessing about the strength of your hand. It's crucial to exercise caution when depending too much on wild cards, though, as they can occasionally result in less-than-ideal plays if not used properly. 24-12-25
- By closely observing the cards they draw and discard, you can better understand what their hands might be attempting to accomplish. An opponent may be nearing the completion of a set or sequence involving those particular cards if, for example, they routinely draw cards from the discard pile instead of the main pile. Also, you can predict your opponents' next moves by looking for patterns in their gameplay. 24-12-25
- This choice frequently depends on assessing your opponents' moves as well as your current hand; if they appear to be on the verge of winning or have already melded multiple sets or sequences, it might be wiser to drop out rather than expose yourself to large point losses. On the other hand, if you have a strong hand with several possible melds forming, it may be better to keep playing. Your hand might be worth keeping for another round if you think that drawing just one or two particular cards will enable you to go out before your opponents do. It's important to carefully weigh the potential of your hand as well as the dynamics between all of the players in order to balance these choices. 24-12-25
