Transform your next corporate event or charity fundraiser into an unforgettable experience with our expert-led poker tournaments. Whether you want to raise thousands of dollars for a cause, entertain hundreds at a networking event, or mingle with a dozen coworkers, our poker tournaments offer the perfect blend of excitement and engagement.

Here’s the Deal
Team Building
Finding an activity that everyone in your office actually enjoys is harder than it sounds. A poker tournament meets that challenge. Skip the icebreakers and put on your poker face. We swap out the usual social cliques with random seating and friendly competition. Our professional dealers double as patient instructors, making it completely accessible for beginners and experienced players alike.
Charity Fundraisers
A charity poker tournament turns an exciting night of friendly competition into real fundraising results. Tournaments are structured so donors stay engaged, the energy builds, and the giving follows. Poker lessons and cheat sheets are available so everyone is welcome. Our Tournament Directors handle everything from start to finish so your team can focus on the mission — not the logistics.
Networking Events
Good networking is structured. Great networking is curated. Our tournaments offer a fun and entertaining environment to connect with partners and clients. Sitting at the same table and playing a game together creates a shared experience that lets people form genuine connections.
Incentive Events
Your teams are highly competitive — give them an arena built specifically for them. A professional poker tournament rewards the exact strategic instincts that close deals: reading the room, calculating risk, and knowing when to go all in. Tournaments offer a curated, high-energy reward experience that honors your company’s performance standards.
We are poker specialists.
Don’t trust your event to someone who “does poker, too.” We have over 20 years of experience and thousands of happy clients.

Guest Experience
This was our 3rd fundraiser and I didn’t need to think twice about who to call to run our poker tournament. The choice was obvious – The Poker People. And, of course, they didn’t disappoint. Professional and friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. They ran the tournament so smoothly and created a fun atmosphere for all who attend. It’s a no brainer who our non-profit organization will choose next year. I highly recommend The Poker People as a company and as individuals.

Love The Poker People! They are professional, responsive, easy going with their main goal of making sure your poker tournament is a huge success. They have been part of the Jason Alexander Celebrity Tournament for many, many years!

We hired The Poker People for an event at Getty Images in LA. What a great time. Conducted and operated with ease and professionalism. It was so fun! Now we all know how to play poker!
Arthur G.
I am an event planner for a large international law firm. We have used The Poker People for our annual poker tournament in Los Angeles a few years in a row. They are great communicators and make the planning process a breeze.
Marlene W.
My favorite part of using The Poker People is they run the whole thing. I have very little to do on our poker night, they take care of everything. I recognize dealers from prior years, this retention is really a testament to their leadership.
Amelia C.
What a great team of professionals. If looking for an evening of fun, excitement and playing poker, then look no further. This team is awesome with very reasonable prices.

I know that you guys do a lot in the background but to be honest, you’d never see it from our side. We don’t see it. It’s seamless. You have a formula and you just make it super easy for us. You guys make it easy to say, “Sure, we can make that happen for you.”

We recently hosted poker tournament as a social event for women entrepreneurs. Our founders and guests had a blast. They appreciated the opening lessons and had a great time playing and getting to know one another and our guests. The Poker People back of the house team made planning the event a breeze and the dealers were personable, professional, and great company.
Tanea F.
As good as it gets when it comes to a turnkey solution to hosting your poker event. They are informative, efficient and friendly. We have used them three times and will most definitely use them again and again!
Ben C.
Because they were so amazing I actually also used them for my employee appreciation night. I book them a year in advance just to make sure we work with them.
Rachel G.
From start to game night, the team, beginning with Jim Fitzgerald were friendly, meticulous and flexible. We had a great night of team building and laughs.
Brian B.
We started really small at one of our board members houses and have grown to over 300 people. This event raises about a quarter of a million dollars now for us. Our first year brought in $60,000. We didn’t think we’d ever be able to break $100,000 but it is all because of the amazing Poker People.
Wendy L.
We LOVED it! I got so many comments from my coworkers after this event about how much fun it was and how we should do it again next time! We have tried other types of virtual events, but this has BY FAR been the most fun! Whether your team loves poker or has never played, I promise you everyone will have a blast!
Nicole G.
Truly one of the best businesses I have worked with. Every single person on this team was amazing – from the organizers to the dealers to the tournament director. The Poker People are professional from start to finish, and I HIGHLY recommend them for all your poker events!
