WPT Global has been making serious moves in the online poker world, and their tournament schedule is proof. With a growing lineup of daily and weekly events, it’s clear they’re setting the stage for even bigger prize pools and high-value series down the road.
$100K Welcome Event – You Got to Play This Tournament!
Right now, the $100K Welcome Event is the crown jewel of WPT Global’s schedule. For a $110 buy-in, players can battle for a $100,000 guaranteed prize pool. And here’s the kicker—new players get a free shot at it just for signing up and making their first deposit.
MTT Schedule & Tournament Variations
WPT Global’s MTT lineup covers a solid range of No-Limit Hold’em (NLHE) and Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO) tournaments, with buy-ins starting at just $2 and reaching up to $220. While the current guarantees top out around $5,000, I expect those numbers to climb as the site expands.
They’ve also mixed in plenty of variety with formats like:
- Freezeouts – Classic, no re-entries.
- Knockouts & Progressive Knockouts (PKOs) – Bust a player, get paid.
- Special Event Structures – Unique formats that shake things up.
$1 for $1 Million – One of the Best Value Events Ever
WPT Global made waves by running one of the most insane-value tournaments online—the $1 for $1 Million event. Yep, a $1 buy-in for a shot at a $1,000,000 prize pool.
This event ran over several months with multiple Day 1 flights, and 20% of players from each flight advanced to Day 2 on October 2. It’s the kind of value that doesn’t come around often, and it put WPT Global on the map for budget-friendly high-stakes action.
Poker Flips – A Fun Side Bet Twist
For those looking for something different, WPT Global introduced Poker Flips, a new game where you can bet on the outcome of simulated poker hands between two computer-generated opponents.
You can place bets on:
- Which player wins the hand
- A tie result
- Specific hands hitting (trips, flush, full house, etc.)
With payouts based on real odds, it’s a fun way to mix things up when you need a break from the usual grind.
