At Paradice, we’re always excited to share our tournament schedule, where skill meets strategy in a vibrant mix of games. This year’s calendar features a blend of high-stakes tournaments and relaxed, low-pressure events—all designed to let players enjoy the thrill without the pressure. Whether you’re a seasoned player or new to the scene, there’s something for everyone, with clear deposit limits and responsible gaming tools to keep things fair and fun.
Our tournaments are structured around real Return to Player (RTP) percentages—meaning every £1 wagered has a guaranteed return of 98.5% across most games, ensuring you’ll always have a chance to win. For those who prefer structured play, our deposit limits start at £50 per tournament, with no upper cap except for high-balance players who can request adjustments via our responsible gambling dashboard. Payouts are processed within 24 hours for all cashouts, giving you quick access to your winnings.
Upcoming Tournament Highlights
The Grand Slam Showdown
This month’s flagship event features five rounds of progressive jackpot slots, with the top 10 players earning entry into the final draw. The prize pool tops out at £5,000, split between winners based on their placement—top three spots secure £2,500 each. To enter, players must deposit at least £100, but the minimum bet per round is just £1. A key detail: all wagers must be made within the first hour of play to qualify for the progressive jackpot.
Testing tip: I played this once with a £50 deposit and hit the £100 mark by midway through Round 2—though I didn’t win, it was a great way to see how deposits stack up against payouts.
Blackjack Blitz Challenge A fast-paced tournament where players compete in three sets of 20 hands against the dealer. The RTP here is 99.5%, and winners take home £300 for placing first. Deposit limits apply—£30 is the minimum to start, but you can add more if you want to boost your chances in later stages. The twist? Players must use self-exclusion if they hit their deposit limit three times in a row; it’s a simple way to manage risk without leaving the game entirely.
Personal note: I tried this once with £25 and lost all my bets in the first set—but it taught me how deposit limits can act as natural boundaries when things get tight.
High-Stakes Poker Series Hosted over two days, this event pits players in no-limit Texas Hold’em, with buy-ins starting at £25 per player. The top five finishers earn cash prizes up to £1,500, while the winner takes home an additional £500 bonus for reaching the final table. Unlike slot tournaments, poker here has no RTP guarantee (since it’s skill-based), but we ensure fair play through UKGC-licensed servers. Deposit limits are flexible—just log in and request adjustments if you’re playing big.
Slot Machine Sprint A timed event where players race against the clock in three rounds of high-RTP slots like Luckiest of All. Each round has a £2 minimum bet, with winners earning £400. The catch? You must complete all three rounds within an hour or risk disqualification. It’s perfect for those who love speed and strategy without needing deep pockets.

Responsible Play Matters
Every tournament here comes with built-in safeguards: deposit limits prevent overspending overnight, while reality checks remind you when it’s time to pause. If you’re playing big amounts, our licence from the UK Gambling Commission ensures fairness—no hidden tricks or unfair advantages. Just remember: gambling is entertainment first; winnings are secondary.
Final thought: I’ve seen some players get caught up in these events because they’re so exciting—but setting small limits (like that £75 slot tournament) keeps things fun without losing sight of balance. That’s why we’ve got tools like self-exclusion right here if you ever need them.
