The Genting Poker Series was a major series of regional poker tournaments held across the United Kingdom run by Genting Casinos, a UK based casino chain operated by the Genting Group. The Genting Poker Series was established in 2012,[1][2] returning for subsequent seasons in 2013,[3] 2014[4] and 2015.[5]

In 2017, PokerStars announces partnership with Genting Casinos UK, allowing players to qualify for live tournaments online.[6]

"The link with PokerStars will allow more people to take part in the GPS through the provision of a clear online qualification route,”
Kevin Proctor (Genting Casinos UK’s Poker Operations Manager)

In 2020, Genting Cassino ceasing all live poker operations in the UK permanently.[7]

“The COVID-19 pandemic has caused unprecedented challenges. It has had a huge financial impact on our business and caused significant uncertainty for the foreseeable future. I am therefore forced to contemplate some very difficult options to ensure survival.”
Paul Willcock (President and COO of Genting UK)
