Monster Stack Tour 2026

The Monster Stack Tour is the cheapest guaranteed series Grosvenor runs: £80 plus a £20 fee for a £50,000 guarantee. The 2026 calendar originally closed in November; it now carries a December leg at Edinburgh.

The proposition

One hundred pounds for a shot at a £50,000 guaranteed prize pool, with deep starting stacks — that is the whole pitch, and it holds at every leg. The G200 asks £200 for the same guarantee; a GUKPT Main Event asks £1,250 for £250,000. On a guarantee-per-pound basis the Monster Stack is the best value on Grosvenor's live calendar.

The schedule has been extended

As published on 1 October, the tour's last stop of 2026 was Luton in early November. The page read on 2 November shows two further legs after it: Reading South from 10 to 15 November and Edinburgh from 15 to 20 December. Grosvenor removes played legs from the table rather than marking them complete, so the live page shows only what is still to come.

How the calendar was shaped

The tour front-loaded the summer. Eleven of the legs ran between 2 June and 30 August, frequently three venues in the same week — Portsmouth, Newcastle and Edinburgh all opened together in June. September brought Portsmouth and Edinburgh again, then Coventry.

Which venues

Thirteen named towns appeared on the published table over the year: Portsmouth, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Birmingham, Blackpool, Walsall, Luton, Manchester, Liverpool, Glasgow, Reading, Sheffield and Coventry. Every leg runs Tuesday to Sunday.

Satellites and tickets

Grosvenor's online feeder satellites start at £1 and ladder through £5 and £30 to live event credit worth £200, £300, £500 or £1,250. Credit is not a reserved seat — it is presented at the casino cash desk as full or part payment, with any balance paid there. A ticket worth more than the tournament it is used for returns the difference as venue tournament credit, and Grosvenor states that credit won online does not expire.
