At a glance
Festival: EPT Monte-Carlo 2027 Dates: 21 April - 2 May 2027 City: Monte-Carlo, Monaco Venue: not confirmed for 2027 Main Event buy-in: 5,000 euro (reduced from 5,300 euro for the 2027 season) Full event schedule: not yet published Minimum age in Monaco: 18
What is confirmed and what is not
PokerStars has published the 2027 EPT stop list with dates, and Monte-Carlo holds its traditional spring slot. The organiser's page does not yet name the 2027 venue, nor carry the event-by-event schedule, the side-event buy-ins or a Main Event guarantee, so none of those appear here. The 5,000 euro figure is the season-wide Main Event buy-in announced with the schedule rather than a Monte-Carlo-specific confirmation.
The direction of that change is unusual: the EPT Main Event has been cut from 5,300 to 5,000 euro, the PokerStars Open Main Event standardised at 1,250 euro across every stop, and the PokerStars Open High Roller reduced to 2,500 euro at EPT festivals.
Monte-Carlo's place on the tour
The Monaco stop is the one EPT festival that has run in essentially every season of the tour's existence, and it is traditionally the season's high-roller centre: the schedules here have historically carried more events above 25,000 euro than any other European stop. It is also the most expensive stop to attend for reasons that have nothing to do with buy-ins - April and May are peak season on the Riviera, and accommodation needs booking far earlier than for any other EPT.
Playing poker in Monaco
Monaco is a small jurisdiction with its own gambling rules rather than a branch of French law, and residents of Monaco are historically barred from the casino's gaming rooms while visitors are not. Anyone resident in the Principality should check the current position before planning to enter. The minimum age is 18 and photographic identification is required.
