WPT® Global Satellites: The Low-Stakes Path to Live Majors
Online satellites are live on WPT® Global right now for a few headline stops, and the barrier to entry is effectively zero.
You can start from micro-stakes buy-ins (I'm talking fifty-five cents), climb a few simple step trees, and end up with a main event seat or a full travel package.
The current slate targets WPT® Cambodia, The Festival Bratislava, and the Dublin Poker Festival. If you want to turn a small online bankroll into a live poker trip, here is the breakdown.
WPT® Cambodia Championship Package ($4,000)
This is the big one.
The WPT® Cambodia Championship runs February 4–9, 2026, at NagaWorld in Phnom Penh.
The online route on WPT® Global targets a clean $4,000 package. Here is what you are playing for:
- $3,500 WPT® Cambodia Championship entry
- $500 travel stipend (cash credited to account)
- Golden Ticket Eligibility: Bonus up to $100,000 if you win the live event (must qualify via satellite).
- Extras: Merch, player party invite, and VIP lounge access.

The Festival Bratislava: Seats vs. Packages
From now through February 10, 2026, you have two distinct ways to get to The Festival Bratislava.
You just need to decide if you want the hotel sorted or just the poker.
| Option 1: Seat Only | Option 2: Full Package |
| Target: €550 Main Event Seat | Target: €1,600 WPT® Global Passport |
| Best For: Players with their own accommodation. | Best For: Players who want the full trip sorted. |
| Includes: Just the tournament entry. | Includes: €550 Seat + Hotel + Hospitality extras. |
| Route: "Seat Only" finals & feeders. | Route: $66 "Passport" finals & feeders. |
Note: The $66 Passport Finals guarantee at least two packages each.
Dublin Poker Festival: ACOP & European Deepstack
For players who prefer the Irish scene, WPT® Global has step paths for the two major events at the Dublin Poker Festival.
1. The ACOP Route (Amateur Championships of Poker) This is designed for recreational players. The buy-ins are lower, and the final guarantees three seats.
- Target: ACOP Seat
- Weekly Final: $44 Buy-in (Mon/Thu)
- Feeders: $4.40
- Guarantee: 3x Seats
2. The European Deepstack Route
If you like deeper structures and don't mind a slightly tougher field, this is your lane.
- Target: European Deepstack Seat
- Weekly Final: $88 Buy-in (Sundays)
- Feeders: $8.80 (fed by $0.88 micros)
- Guarantee: 2x Seats
Before You Play: The Housekeeping
Satellites are great leverage, but don't get caught out by the fine print.
- KYC First: You must be 18+ and verified. WPT® Global cannot credit you a seat if they don't know who you are. Verify before you win.
- Golden Ticket Rules: The $100k bonus for Cambodia has strict rules. You usually have to qualify via the specific satellite path and wear the patch live. Buying a package directly often voids the bonus eligibility.
- Check Your Lobby: Real-money satellites aren't available in every country. If you can't see them in the client, they likely aren't open to your region.
Check the lobby for the exact times in your time zone, set a budget for your bullets, and good luck.
