WPT Global is giving players the opportunity to travel the world and participate in World Poker Tour events. With Passport Dollars, players have even more flexibility to enjoy live WPT Festivals and create the poker experiences they’ve always dreamed of.
Passport Dollars serve as flexible currency that can be used for a wide variety of WPT events, including the prestigious WPT World Championship, which featured a massive $40,000,000 guarantee last year.
Players can win two types of passports:
- $12,400 WPT Passport
- $1,500 WPT Prime Passport
These passports provide Passport Dollars that can be used not only for tournament buy-ins but also for travel and accommodation expenses, offering a comprehensive experience.
How to Win a WPT Passport
Every Sunday at 18:30 ET, WPT Global offers three $12,400 WPT Passports in a $1,060 satellite event. Winning a passport credits players with $12,400 Passport Dollars to their balance.
Players can enter satellites starting from just $5, with daily freerolls leading into these qualifiers. This gives even more players a chance to attend WPT events for free.
For the $1,500 WPT Prime Passport, satellites start from $11 and lead into the $110 final qualifier, held every Sunday at 14:40 ET.
Using Passport Dollars
The Passport Dollars offer all tons of flexibility. WPT Global’s dedicated team assists winners in choosing which festivals to attend and helps craft a schedule of events. Passport Dollars can also cover travel expenses (up to $2,000 per event), allowing players to attend a WPT Festival at dream destinations such as Las Vegas or Cyprus.
For example, at the WPT Montreal Festival, players might use their Passport Dollars as follows:
- $1,150 CAD WPT Prime Entry
- $1,150 CAD WPT Prime Re-entry
- $590 CAD WPT500 Entry
- $3,500 CAD WPT Championship Entry
- $2,000 USD for Travel Expenses
This would total $6,670, leaving a balance of $5,730 Passport Dollars for future poker adventures.
