The WPT Asia Series Overdrive is now live on WPT Global, running from July 19 to August 30 with 43 days of fast-paced online poker, major guarantees and plenty of extra value for grinders. Last week, PokerStrategy.com started breaking down the key value points of the series, beginning with the weekly leaderboards. Now it is time for part two and another clean look at the details that matter most.
No fluff. No filler. Just the facts that can help you get more out of the WPT Asia Series Overdrive.
The Daily Mission Flip gives WPT Global players a simple way to turn everyday activity into extra tournament value during the WPT Asia Series Overdrive.
Across the promotion, players can chase a share of ¥2,100,000 in guaranteed prizes, with ¥50,000 awarded every day. The route is straightforward: complete Daily Missions, collect Tickets, use those Tickets to enter hourly automatic All-In Flips and survive your way into the nightly Day 2 event.
The flip stage is pure all-in action with no decisions required. Once players reach Day 2, however, it becomes a regular poker tournament where skill, timing and tournament strategy decide who climbs highest and takes the biggest share of the daily prize pool.
Players can earn Tickets through easy activities they may already be completing as part of their regular play:
- Making deposits
- Registering for tournaments
- Registering before an event begins
- Playing cash games or tournaments
- Playing casino games or betting on sports
- Busting directly on the tournament bubble
Each mission has its own Ticket rewards and daily limit.
Tickets are credited immediately after a mission requirement is completed.
They are stored in the player’s Backpack, can be accumulated over time and never expire during the series. This allows players to save their Tickets and use them whenever they are ready to enter an All-In Flip.
- Each Day 1 flight costs one Ticket
- All-In Flip flights run every hour, with registration opening up to 24 hours before each flight
- Once the flip begins, every player is automatically all-in
- There are no betting decisions or tournament strategy at this stage
- Players simply need to win the flip to advance
Every All-In Flip winner automatically qualifies for that evening’s Day 2 tournament.
Players can enter multiple hourly flights, provided they have enough Tickets, giving them repeated opportunities to secure a Day 2 seat.
Day 2 takes place every night at 22:30 UTC+8 and features a ¥50,000 guarantee.
Unlike the automatic Day 1 flips, Day 2 is played as a normal poker tournament. From this point onward, players make their own decisions and compete through regular tournament poker for their share of the prize pool.

Players can earn up to 27 Tickets per day through the standard missions. Bubble Saver Tickets are unlimited and are awarded on top of that total.
Players earn Tickets based on their total net deposits during the day.
| Net Daily Deposit | Total Tickets |
|---|---|
| $10 for new players / $50 for existing players | 1 |
| $500 | 3 |
| $2,000 | 6 |
A maximum of six Tickets can be earned from the Deposit Mission each day.
Registering for eligible tournaments can award up to eight Tickets per day.
| Eligible Entries | Total Tickets |
|---|---|
| 1 | 1 |
| 3 | 3 |
| 6 | 5 |
| 10 | 8 |
A maximum of two entries from the same tournament can count towards the mission. Players therefore need to register across several different eligible events to reach the highest reward level.
Players receive additional Tickets for registering before an eligible tournament’s scheduled starting time.
| Eligible Early Registrations | Total Tickets |
|---|---|
| 1 | 1 |
| 3 | 2 |
| 5 | 4 |
Late registration does not count. The Early Bird Mission awards a maximum of four Tickets per day.
Tickets can also be earned through poker activity across cash games and tournaments.
| Daily Poker GGR | Total Tickets |
|---|---|
| $5 | 1 |
| $25 | 3 |
| $100 | 5 |
The daily maximum for this mission is five Tickets.
Casino play and sports betting volume can award up to four Tickets per day.
| Daily Volume | Total Tickets |
|---|---|
| $100 | 1 |
| $500 | 2 |
| $2,000 | 4 |
In markets where casino games and sports betting are unavailable, this is replaced by a Spins mission with the same four-Ticket maximum:
| Spins Played | Total Tickets |
|---|---|
| 1 | 1 |
| 5 | 2 |
| 15 | 4 |
The Bubble Saver Mission rewards players who are eliminated directly before the money.
A player who finishes as the official tournament bubble receives two Tickets.
Unlike the other missions, Bubble Saver has:
- No daily Ticket limit
- No minimum tournament field requirement
- Two Tickets awarded for every qualifying bubble finish
This means an unfortunate tournament exit can immediately provide two more opportunities to enter an All-In Flip.
The standard missions provide a combined maximum of:
- 6 Tickets from deposits
- 8 Tickets from MTT registrations
- 4 Tickets from Early Bird registrations
- 5 Tickets from poker GGR
- 4 Tickets from casino and sports betting or Spins
That produces a maximum of 27 standard mission Tickets per day.
Bubble Saver Tickets are uncapped and can increase the daily total even further.
The Daily Mission Flip combines regular platform activity with a simple qualification format.
Complete missions, collect Tickets and use one Ticket to enter an hourly flip. Win the flip and you move directly into the nightly ¥50,000 guaranteed Day 2, where the automatic action ends and normal tournament poker begins.
With Tickets that never expire, hourly opportunities to qualify and ¥2,100,000 guaranteed across the promotion, players can choose whether to use their Tickets immediately or build a larger supply for future attempts.
Ready for a low-effort shot at extra value? With a ¥50,000 Daily Final running every day and only a simple All-In Flip between your Ticket and a seat in the money chase, the Daily Mission Flip is one of the most accessible value spots in the WPT Asia Series Overdrive. Complete your missions, collect your Ticket, survive the flip and battle for real prizes in Day 2.
We will be back next week with another closer look at one of the most valuable parts of the series — stay tuned.
