How Does it Work?
Official WPTAPLâ„¢ No Limit Texas Hold'em Tournaments are a form of entertainment designed to fill your establishment with customers that will enjoy your products and services. We license to participating restaurants, bars, and lodges.
Founded in Wichita, Kansas in 2003, The WPTAPLâ„¢ hosts hundreds of tournament events per week with player participation ranging from 10 to 500 players in a single tournament session. Thousands of new members sign up weekly.
The WPTAPLâ„¢ can provide venues with training, poker table tops, playing cards, chips, tournament rules and master forms. The top 16 players at each session earn Official WPTAPLâ„¢ Ranking Points.

What's in it for My Customers?
Players can play for free and have fun while testing their poker skills in real tournament play, all in the comfort of their favorite neighborhood bars and restaurants.

Is my place a good fit?
Your place is a good fit if you have: Physical space for 5 to 16 tables that can seat 8 players each. Booths don't work well in tournament play. A slow day or evening so that you can accommodate the extra people.

The ability to add excited and helpful wait staff to take all those drink and food orders prior to and during tournament play. You will be busy with the extra business!

What's In It for My Business?
Increased sales on tournament nights! Players will spend 2 to 6 hours in your establishment. We ask all our players to support the Official WPTAPLâ„¢ Event Locations! We could not do this without you! Most venue owners report significant increases in food and beverage sales on tournament nights.

The benefit of free web advertising to bring in more customers! Our highly-exposed Web site lists tournament venues and session schedules.

An evening of fun for you and your customers and the chance of repeat business!

How much does it cost?
By offering both Full Service and Sanctioned Events, we empower you to be involved at a level you are comfortable with.

Is it Legal?
Our players do NOT pay anything to play! No member fees, no cover charges, and no “buy-ins”.

We conduct legal research and believe that these activities fall within the boundaries of state laws.
