What does WPT mean in POKER

The World Poker Tournament (WPT) is an international poker tournament series that features some of the best professional and amateur players from around the world competing for cash prizes.

The WPT has been running since 2002 and is one of the longest-running tournaments of its kind in the world.

Anyone over 18 years old who meets certain requirements can participate in a WPT event. Additionally, players must be willing to pay a buy-in fee to enter into any given tournament.

Rules vary from venue to venue, but generally speaking all participating players must abide by codes of conduct and gaming procedures outlined by each host country. Most regional events also have style-specific rules such as re-buys and tournament prize structure details.

Winners of each event typically receive large cash prizes, as well as seats into higher stakes tournaments and other exclusive offers such as media coverage or prestige titles depending on their local gaming market. Players who make it to final tables often receive larger prizes than those who do not qualify for this stage.
