WPT® Global Partners with the International Poker Open 2025: A Celebration of Poker in Dublin

The IPO 

Running since 2007, the International Poker Open is one of Europe’s most enduring community poker events.
Last year’s festival drew 2,107 total entries and over €524,000 in prizes, cementing its reputation as the kind of event where pros and recreational players share the same tables, and the same atmosphere.

The 2025 edition keeps that tradition alive with a €350 (€310+€40) Main Event, multiple side events, and six days of live poker across formats from NLH to PLO, 8-Game, and High Rollers.

Our Role: Bringing the IPO Online

At WPT Global, we’re focused on connecting the online and live worlds of poker.

This year, we’ve partnered with the IPO to run the official online qualification route, offering players from anywhere the chance to reach Dublin for as little as $0.44 through a structured satellite system.

That includes:

• $44 “Golden Pass” satellites awarding €350 IPO Main Event seats (3 guaranteed each event)
• A €100,000 Golden Ticket bonus to the chip leader of every $44 qualifier, a unique twist that could make the IPO Champion’s payday truly unforgettable
• An Online Day 1 running on WPT Global at 20:00 Irish time (UTC+1) on October 19, giving online players a chance to reach Day 2 of the live event at the Bonnington Hotel

All qualifying and buy-in options are available exclusively through the WPT Global platform.

The Live Experience

Once in Dublin, players will find a festival packed with signature events and familiar faces. Alongside the Main Event, highlights include:

With multiple flights, late registration, and re-entry options, there’s something for every type of player, whether you’re chasing the trophy or just there for the craic.

The Venue: Bonnington Hotel, Dublin

The festival once again takes place at the Bonnington Hotel Conference Centre, located on Swords Road, just minutes from Dublin Airport and the city centre. Players can book accommodation using the promo code IPO25 for a reduced rate of €140 per room, per night (minimum three-night stay).

Working with Our Partners

We’re proud to work alongside the IPO team and Luxon Pay, the festival’s official payment partner. Luxon’s seamless payment integration and Stone Cold Bubble Protection ensure that players who buy in through Luxon can play with confidence, even on the bubble. 

Together, these partnerships are part of WPT Global’s broader goal: making world-class poker more accessible, secure, and connected, both online and live.

Looking Ahead

The IPO partnership is part of WPT Global’s ongoing expansion of live integrations across Europe and beyond. 

By bridging our online platform with iconic festivals like the IPO, we’re creating new pathways for players to experience live poker on their terms, from their screen to the felt. 

We’re excited to see who will lift the trophy this year, and whether one of our online qualifiers will take home the title (and the €100,000 Golden Ticket bonus).

More to come.
