What is the difference between 'guest price' and 'player price' ?

We believe that poker players are worthy of benefiting from the best rates and conditions when booking a poker holiday trip.

To receive this special rate, referred to as ‘player price’, the guest must qualify for the cash game hours requirement. This is usually between 12 to 16 hours total play during the event weekend and is listed in the 'event page' of every destination.

Guests must first pay the ‘guest price’ and once they have qualified for the reimbursement they will receive a cash reimbursement from the poker room on the last day of the event. This cash reimbursement converts the total price from ‘guest price’ to ‘player price’.

At the end of the event, players who have qualified for the cash game hours reimbursement, will have to pay the beforehand mentioned ‘player price’.

Poker Getaway operates in conjunction with the best travel agents vis-à-vis the selected destinations and strictly ensures that the guest price remains attractive for every guest, in particular for those non poker players who join the trip.

All bookings through Poker Getaway are executed initially at guest prices. The player price, as published on the website, will be granted subject to compliance with the reimbursement terms.

How will I, as a poker player, know how many hours I have played on each day?

Each of the poker rooms that host the Poker Getaway events keep meticulous records of each player's game time.

First of all, each Poker Getaway guest is given a unique Poker Getaway bracelet, by the means of which the poker room identifies the guest and tracks play time. In addition, the bracelet imparts the range of benefits and discounts offered to Poker Getaway guests.

Each guest wearing the bracelet is registered when sitting around the table and the total hours are added up at the end of each session.

The registration and accumulated playing hours are kept in such a manner that at the end of the event, players who complied with the reimbursement terms, that is a minimum of 4 hours play per day according to the total required, are invited to receive the reimbursement in cash at the poker room cash desk.

I would like to join your event, however, I booked the hotel and flight tickets separately. Will I still be able to participate in the event and obtain the cash reimbursement?

Yes, Poker Getaway events are open to the general public and all poker enthusiasts are invited to participate.

This is the 'Hit & Run' option we offer our guests* where they can register at no cost and be rewarded cash rake back should they complete the cash game hours required.

In order to register for the 'Hit & Run' package please visit the desired event page on our website, then click the 'Book Now' button.

You will need to register as a Poker Getaway site member at no cost.

Once you verify your registration choose the 'Hit & Run' option and complete the registration for the event.

You will receive an email confirming your registration to the event as a 'Hit & run' package guest.

When you arrive at your destination be sure to contact our event representative - his/her phone is shown on the event page. They will give you your Poker Getaway bracelet which is how the poker room tracks your cash game hours.

Once you complete the cash game hours required for the reimbursement you will receive €100 in cash from the poker room cashier on the last day of the event.

* The 'Hit & Run' package above is available only for Poker Getaway guests who travel to the destination from another country. Local players can not receive these benefits in

their country of origin, but are welcome to join other destinations as guests and enjoy these benefits.

What does the guest price include? And how is it different from the prices of similar holidays offered on the Internet?

Poker Getaway operates in conjunction with the best travel agents vis-à-vis the selected destinations and strictly ensures that the guest prices remain attractive for every guest, in particular for those non poker players who join the holiday trip.

Every Poker Getaway guest will enjoy daily excursions at every holiday destination, private transportation from and to the airport (for groups of 8 or more), discounts on food and beverages in the poker room. All these are included in the guest package. Additional details are available on the 'event page' at the Poker Getaway website.

I am a poker enthusiast and while my companion is not a poker player, he/she is keen on other casino activities. Can we both obtain the cash back reimbursement?

Cash back reimbursement is provided only to guests who play Texas Hold’em cash poker in the poker room in compliance with the reimbursement terms. The rest of the benefits, such as excursions, discounts on food and beverages, etc. are provided to all Poker Getaway guests without any connection to poker games.

Why do I see different prices for different languages on your website?

Information on the website in a certain language includes flights from that specific country.

The only page that doesn't have flight prices included, but has the hotel ones, is the English page.

Guests are free to choose their own mode of transportation from their country of origin to the event.
