Win Your Seat into a WPT Season XXII Tour Event

Live poker tour and festival stops hosted by the World Poker Tour allow players to compete for an opportunity to win a seat into a sanctioned event through satellite qualifiers.

For a relatively small buy-in, players who are victorious in these live qualifiers — which are hosted during the festivals themselves at the designated live venue — gain entry into the stipulated WPT event.

Consult the WPT and corresponding local venues for updated details on satellite tournament formats, starting times, structures, and terms.

Live satellite tournaments that award entries into WPT events are subject to change and should be verified with the local hosting venue in advance.
