Sun Cup 2026: check the lobby before you register

Sun Cup runs monthly on PokerPlanets' 2026 tournament calendar, held on the last Saturday of every month. Recent editions include January 31, 2026, November 29, 2025, and the smaller Sun Lite Cup version on February 14, 2026. Always check the lobby for the exact date of the current month, where the start time and buy-in for the live edition are listed in real time.

What the player gets

By registering for Sun Cup PokerPlanets, you compete for a share of the confirmed $5,000 GTD. The usual buy-in is $11, running a Super Bounty format with a 7-max final table. Sun Cup runs as a full tournament series with multiple editions, and each ticket gets you into one of them. The exact format (blind structure, number of levels) is set in the tournament lobby inside the PokerPlanets client, so check those details directly in the room before confirming your entry.

Key conditions

• ◆The $5,000 guaranteed prize pool is the figure confirmed by the room for this series.
• ◆The 7 finalists get 100% rakeback for a month; in the smaller Sun Lite Cup edition, that extra prize goes to the top 3 finishers.
• ◆Registration terms, structure, and prize distribution are governed by the tournament rules published in the PokerPlanets client.
• ◆As with any guaranteed online poker prize, if entries don't generate a pool reaching $5,000, the room covers the difference; if they exceed it, the pool grows accordingly.

How to participate

1. 1Log into your PokerPlanets account (or create one if you don't play there yet).
2. 2Go to the tournament lobby and find Sun Cup in the series schedule.
3. 3Check the buy-in and start time of the available edition.
4. 4Confirm your registration before the registration deadline closes.
5. 5Compete for your share of the $5,000 GTD.

Careful: Guaranteed tournaments don't guarantee an individual prize — only the total pool. Play within your limits and always check the specific rules of each edition in the room's client before registering.

Important: Buy-in and structure figures circulating on third-party sites about this series have not been confirmed by PokerPlanets' official page in the material reviewed here; always use the tournament lobby as the final reference.

Beyond the tournament's guaranteed prize, the rake you generate playing at PokerPlanets — including in series like Sun Cup — can separately earn AI Points from PokerDealsAI, an independent benefit that runs apart from the room's own rakeback.
