Play for Dreams: SiGMA Foundation puts charity in the cards

Join us for an exciting evening of high-stakes poker, where you can not only test your skills but also enjoy the camaraderie of fellow players, all while supporting a great cause.

“We are delighted to collaborate with our poker community, the SiGMA Foundation, and PokerStars for the annual Charity Event. Historically, Portomaso has waived the tournament service fee as part of our contribution to this noble cause. The motivation and generosity of the poker community towards making a positive impact are truly commendable.”
