WPT Global Offering Satellites For Red Dragon Poker Tour
In a significant development for players eyeing a seat at one of Asia’s popular poker tournaments, WPT Global has launched online satellites for the 2025 Red Dragon Poker Tour (RDPT) Championship Event in Jeju, South Korea.
Players who wish to grind at the 2025 Red Dragon Poker Tour (RDPT) can qualify via WPT Global satellites.
Running from March 30 through April 27, 2025, the satellite series offers players an opportunity to win entry into the live Championship event, valued at $1,725, without paying the full KRW 2,500,000 (~USD 1,725) buy-in.
The Championship is set to run from May 4 to 9, 2025, at the Landing Casino in Jeju, and brings with it a substantial KRW 2 billion (~USD 1.38 million) guaranteed prize pool.
The tournament will feature four Day 1 starting flights—Day 1A to Day 1D—with a standard structure offering a 50,000-chip starting stack and 40-minute levels.
Day 1D will be played in a turbo format with 30-minute blinds, leading into the final stages and culminating with the crowning of the 2025 Red Dragon champion on May 9.
The 2024 edition saw 1,337 entries and a prize pool of $1.85 million. China's Mai Zhang emerged victorious, taking home $284,022.
With increasing international interest and a sizable guarantee, this year’s event is expected to surpass previous numbers both in attendance and competition.
WPT Global’s online satellites are structured to accommodate players across bankroll levels. The ladder begins with a $1.88 Step Satellite, which feeds into an $18.80 Feeder Satellite.
From there, players can progress to the $188 Qualifier, held every Sunday at 12:10 UTC. Each $188 qualifier guarantees four seats to the Red Dragon Poker Tour Championship.
The structure for the $188 qualifier includes a 10,000-chip starting stack (100 big blinds), 10-minute blind levels, and 8-max table format.
Late registration is open for 10 levels, with unlimited re-entries permitted, allowing for a dynamic and competitive satellite environment.
While the satellites offer a low-cost route to one of the continent’s most iconic live events, it’s important to note that winners are awarded seat-only packages and will need to independently arrange their travel and accommodation in Jeju.
The satellite series on WPT Global provides a direct route for players to take their shot at a major title in a prestigious live setting.
With buy-ins starting at just $1.88, it opens the door for players to transition from online qualifiers to the live felt of one of Asia’s most anticipated poker events.
To get started with satellites on the online platform, players can register using the WPT Global promo code NEWBONUS for a welcome bonus of $3580.
This bonus amount includes a 100% deposit match up to $3,000. New players on the site who deposit between $10 and $3,000 are eligible to receive 100% cashback.
