Entry Fees

All 2018 UK Open registration fees are the same whether or not a player is a UKBGF member.

The return is 100% of all entry fees and pools except for satellites, in which the return covers the respective entry and registration fee of the Main Event, and jackpots for which there is a 10% rake.
