$15,000,000 GTD WPT Global Asia Series Takes Center Stage
The WPT Asia Series delivers $15 million guaranteed, nine official WPT Rings, million-dollar Mystery Bounty Sundays, and a $430K Player of the Series leaderboard on WPT Global—with buy-ins starting at just $5 and guarantees climbing as high as $430K.
Built on more than 20 years of World Poker Tour history, WPT Global blends trusted legacy with modern online poker innovation. The focus is clear: credibility, fairness, and forward-thinking design over short-term trends.
This approach is driven by WPT Global Edge, a framework built to create long-term value through smart game design and sustainable rewards. With flexible WPT Passport Dollars, online satellites can seamlessly translate into seats at live WPT events—bridging digital play with real-world tournament ambition.
While satellites to WPT Prime Cyprus are already running at full speed, something even bigger is on the horizon at WPT Global: the highly anticipated WPT Asia Series.

$15,000,000 Guaranteed
The ¥100,000,000 ($15,000,000) Guaranteed WPT Asia Series running from February 15 to March 15 on WPT Global—and it stands out as one of the year’s most significant online poker promotions.
For the first time, players have the opportunity to compete for official WPT Rings as part of a four-week festival built around strong guarantees and accessible buy-ins. The series combines headline prize pools with broad-field appeal, creating a rare mix of prestige and value across a packed tournament schedule. Here’s what sets the WPT Asia Series apart:
- 9 official WPT Rings awarded across the series
- 100+ tournaments scheduled over four action-packed weeks
- Buy-ins from just ¥33 (~$5), making the festival widely accessible
