A brand new sweepstakes poker site is coming to the US under the patronage of one of the leading live poker tours, the World Poker Tour.
Dubbed ClubWPT Gold, the new site will operate on the well-known sweepstakes model, meaning players from most parts of the US will be able to play and compete for chips that will be redeemable for real money prizes.
Like the best sweepstakes poker sites, ClubWPT Gold will feature two currencies, the Gold Coins, which will be available for purchase, and Sweeps Coins, which will be awarded by the operator. The latter coins will be redeemable for prizes, giving players a chance to compete without putting any real money into play.
To celebrate the launch of its new product, the WPT is throwing the biggest freeroll tournament ever held with a prize pool of $5,000,000. The tournament will play out in Las Vegas this December, during the WPT World Championship event, with 2,000 players given a chance to participate and compete for a valuable $1,000,000 first-place prize and much more.
World Poker Tours Expands its Pressence
The WPT has long been one of the most recognizable brands in the live poker industry, but its presence in the online poker world has been limited. Until now, US poker players could compete for WPT packages via subscription-based Club WPT, but the variety of games on that site was heavily limited.
Starting in January 2025, WPT will be launching ClubWPT Gold, a sweepstakes poker site that will be available to most Americans and offer and opportunity to compete with other players from all over the country.
Both Sweeps Coins and Gold Coins tables will offer stiff competition, while coins won at the Sweeps Coins tables will also come with the promise of valuable prizes they can be redeemed for.
This will offer all fans of social poker, as it is often referred to as, a brand-new and very trustworthy operator they can play with and compete in various formats and variations of the game of poker.
ClubWPT Gold Launches with a Bang
The grand launch of ClubWPT Gold will be one of the biggest poker events of the year, and it comes with a massive tournament to celebrate it, the $5,000,000 Invitational Freeroll at the WPT World Championship festival.
The tournament will start on December 13 at the Wynn in Las Vegas, and in order to play in it, players will need to present one of the two thousand Golden Passports WPT is giving away as you read this.
The Golden Passports are being given away via a variety of promotions, the majority of which include creating an account with ClubWPT Gold. However, with no purchase or deposit necessary, creating an account with the new sweepstakes operator seems like a small price to pay for a chance to play in a $5,000,000 freeroll in Las Vegas.
What’s even more, WPT is awarding all Golden Passport winners with an extra $1,000 to cover their travel expenses, as well as other perks such as free merchandise, a VIP experience at the Wynn, and a chance to meet some of the WPT Ambassadors in person.
The $5,000,000 prize pool will be distributed among over 500 players in the tournament, and all who make the money will also enter a raffle for one of the 100 seats into the $10,400 WPT World Championship event.
The launch of the new social poker platform is now imminent, and the big freeroll event in December offers a chance for players to capitalize on early participation and compete at one of the world’s biggest live poker festivals with absolutely no risk involved.
