WPT Global shares new updates: Crazy Freerolls paused, $1M Texas package satellites, IPO Golden Ticket, and boosted Golden Bounty prize pool.

WPT Global has had a busy few weeks — and it’s not all just about the Crazy Freerolls. While one part of the platform cools off (temporarily), the rest of the engine is still running at full tilt. 

Whether you're chasing bounties, eyeing Texas-sized prize pools, or planning your trip to Dublin for the IPO, there's quite a bit to keep track of.

Here’s a quick tour of what’s going on behind the scenes at WPT Global — and what’s ahead.

Crazy Freerolls Take a Breather — but Not for Long

It was bound to happen. The aptly named Crazy Freerolls overwhelmed WPT Global’s servers after a record-breaking launch, leading to a short pause while the tech team beefs things up. The good news? It’s only temporary.

The series is set to return on October 1, and when it does, all progress — points, tickets, and rewards — will still count. And as a thank-you for everyone’s patience, all players will be entered into a $100K Super Crazy Freeroll, with $20,000 waiting up top.

Freerolls may be on pause, but everything else is ticking along — referral-based rewards are still active, including those $10K freeroll tickets for each friend you bring to the table. On top of that, affiliates have already received payouts for Week 2, with over $30,000 paid.

WPT Prime Lodge: Win Your Way to Texas

If you're itching to travel instead of waiting for freerolls to come back, WPT Global’s WPT Prime Lodge promotion might be the detour you’re looking for. Every Sunday, players can win one of two $2,100 packages that include a seat to the $1,100 WPT Prime Lodge Championship, plus $1,000 in travel expenses.

But there’s a kicker — and it's a big one. Win the live event this October at The Lodge Card Club in Austin, Texas, and WPT Global will top you up with an additional $100,000 bonus.

Satellites start from just $1.10, and there's a full ladder leading to the Sunday finals. The $1M GTD live event runs October 9–13, and while players under 21 can qualify, they’ll need to transfer the package if they can’t play due to age restrictions in the US.

Golden Bounty Prize Pool Gets a Boost

Another update worth noting — the Golden Bounty prize pool has been bumped up to $250,000 guaranteed, with daily Day 1 flights and a big final every Sunday. The format remains fast and furious, and with more in the pot, the endgame just got a whole lot more appealing.
Updated visuals for this promotion are already live if you're looking to give it a shoutout through affiliate content.

IPO Dublin: €100K Golden Ticket on the Line

Over in Europe, WPT Global continues to deepen its ties with the Irish poker scene — this time by signing a three-year sponsorship deal with the International Poker Open (IPO).

The upcoming edition of IPO Dublin, taking place October 21–27 at the Bonnington Hotel, is expected to draw over a thousand runners for its €350 Main Event. But the big draw? WPT Global is offering 20 online qualifiers a shot at a €100,000 Golden Ticket bonus.

Anyone who wins a Golden Ticket via WPT Global and then goes on to win the IPO Main Event will receive an extra €100,000 on top of the regular prize money. That’s not pocket change — especially in a grassroots-style tournament that’s always been about big fields and accessible buy-ins.

Satellites are running every Sunday on WPT Global, with feeder events at micro-stakes levels. There’s also an online Day 1 flight scheduled for October 19, so players can lock in a stack before ever setting foot in Dublin.

The full schedule includes everything from €200 Omaha and 8-Game tournaments to a €1,100 Super High Roller. And with names like Vitalijs Polukejevs, Jamie Cusack, and Tom Brady among past champs, this year’s edition has a reputation to uphold.

More to Come

From server upgrades to six-figure bonuses, WPT Global is clearly leaning in for the long haul. Some promos are getting fine-tuned, others are gaining momentum, and a few are opening doors to live poker adventures worth remembering.

We'll keep you posted when the Crazy Freerolls return on October 1 — until then, Texas and Dublin await.
