Student poker is one of the biggest trends to hit the university demographic in years. Millions of college student participate in university organized events every day, which happens to be the gateway activity to real money cash poker play online.

As a result, national student poker tournaments have been established to accommodate this growing market including the North West Student Poker Championship and the UK Student Poker Championship (UKSPC). A recent graduate of Manchester University, Aden Levin, has initiated the Entourage Student Poker (ESP), the UK’s only live student-based poker brand.

Levin’s group came to be initially as a place for student poker players to gather in Manchester after the official University Poker Society was banned when the University of Manchester discovered the society was playing for cash. The result was a lack of available poker games for college students and an increasing demand for them. In response, Levin set up the ESP to offer games for students in the Manchester area.

Levin explains, "Within 2 years ESP has grown rapidly; we have over 300 members. We have seen students from all over the north-west come to our regional tournament and within the next year we should be on other campuses in the north-west area!"
Considering the success of the ESP, Levin is thinking of expanding into other major cities like Birmingham, where student poker games are also limited.
