Live poker tournaments in Peru

Peru's live calendar is empty at the moment, and we would rather say so than pad this page. When a Lima or regional venue announces a date, it appears here with the buy-in, the structure and the room it is played in.

What is scheduled right now

Nothing, as far as any public listing shows. We checked the Peruvian and Lima tournament calendars at torneos.poker on 28 October 2026 and both returned no announced upcoming events — the Lima page states in as many words that no tournaments have yet been announced in the city.

That is a real finding rather than a gap in our research, and it follows a busy stretch: the National Series of Poker played a full week in Arequipa from 12 to 18 October 2026, with a S/500 Main Event alongside a High Roller, a mystery bounty, a teams event, a five-card Omaha bounty and a second-chance event. Those pages are still on this site, archived, because the events have been played.

Why the Peruvian calendar is intermittent

Peru has an active player base and a long-established room in Lima, but its festivals have historically been staged as one-off series in hotels and temporary venues rather than on a fixed annual circuit, which makes the calendar lumpy by nature. Dates tend to appear a few weeks out rather than months ahead.

There is also a specific disruption worth knowing about, which we have not yet been able to confirm against a primary source and therefore report as a secondary account rather than as established fact. According to torneos.poker's Lima guide, a stage of the Circuito Dorado in Lima was interrupted in 2025 by Peru's fiscal police over alleged administrative irregularities in the permits held for the event, that stop was shut down, and a National Series of Poker date planned for the city was suspended as a consequence. We are looking for the regulator's own record of this and will update the page either way.

Where poker is actually dealt in Peru

The two venues we hold verified records for are the Atlantic City casino in Lima, the country's most established poker room and the one that runs cash games daily, and the Jockey Club in Chiclayo, which has hosted National Series of Poker stages. Both have their own pages on this site.

Checking back

We re-read the Peruvian listings on a schedule, so this page changes as soon as a venue publishes a date. Casino gambling in Peru is regulated by the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism, and the minimum age to enter a licensed casino is 18. Nothing here is legal advice.
