Play Day 1 Online
It’s not only possible to win seats into EAPT Main events online, it’s also possible to start the tournament online, as every EAPT event also has an online day 1 at GG Poker. These online starting days play down to 13% of the field remaining, meaning that if you make it through to the live day 2, you are already in the money, guaranteed a payday and a lot closer to the final table. The main event online starting day takes place on the Sunday before the live main event.
In order to play an online day 1 or take part in an online satellite to an EAPT event, players require an account on GG Poker.
If you don't already have an account, register using the GG Poker bonus code NEWBONUS for a matched deposit bonus of up to $600.
