WPT Global Partners with JP Poker Card Club & Casino to Expand Reach in Ireland

Online poker site WPT Global, the home of online World Poker Tour, has announced a strategic partnership with JP Poker Card Club & Casino, a prominent live poker venue in Ireland.

This collaboration further boosts the already booming live poker scene in Ireland, which has been boosted in recent years by the emergence of the Irish Poker Tour, which runs over 20 events per year in the Republic of Ireland and further afield.

Monthly €200 Flagship Event

The partnership will feature a monthly flagship tournament with a €200 buy-in and a €50,000 guaranteed prize pool, taking place on the first weekend of each month.

Players can qualify for this event through daily online satellites hosted by WPT Global, with the live tournament being held at JP Poker Card Club & Casino in Tallaght, Dublin.

First Event in October

To celebrate the launch of this new partnership, a special festival is scheduled from October 3rd to 6th, featuring a Main Event with the same buy-in and prize pool. The night before the launch event, an online satellite with 20 seats guaranteed will be held, giving players a chance to win their way into the festival for free.

JP McCann Thrilled

JP McCann, owner of JP Poker Card Club & Casino, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating,

We're thrilled to collaborate with WPT Global, a brand that stands for excellence and innovation in online poker. This partnership allows us to offer our members and visiting players the chance to participate in great value tournaments with significant prize pools, all while enjoying the top-tier amenities at our newly opened venue.

In addition to the monthly tournament, the partnership will introduce exclusive promotions and live pathways to the prestigious World Poker Tour for players at JP Poker Card Club & Casino.

WPT Global Experience Comes to Ireland

WPT Global President Alex Scott is also delighted with the deal, saying

Partnering with JP Poker Card Club & Casino is a fantastic opportunity for us to bring the WPT Global experience to Ireland's vibrant poker community. We're excited to offer players the chance to qualify online for the new €50,000 guaranteed monthly event at JP Poker Card Club and Casino and the WPT World Championship, blending the best of both worlds.

This collaboration aims to be beneficial to both WPT Global and JP Poker Card Club & Casino, while also enriching the entire Irish poker scene.

Players can expect a variety of promotions, satellites, and opportunities to participate in high-value tournaments and potentially qualify for World Poker Tour events.
