WPT Global Dangles €100K Bonus for Irish Poker Cup Heroes—With a Catch
The Irish Poker Cup now features an exciting €100,000 bonus offered by WPT Global for the Main Event in Killarney. Players can kickstart their journey by participating in the €700 OnLive Day 1 event on August 31, where the top 30 players receive a Golden Ticket. This ticket leads to the Main Event, where a victory not only earns the prize pool but also the bonus. With stringent conditions like no deal-making at the final table, and completion of KYC before Day 2, players must strategize to clinch the full rewards.
- WPT Global adds €100,000 bonus to Irish Poker Cup Main Event.
- Qualify via €700 OnLive Day 1 on August 31 for a Golden Ticket.
- Winning Main Event in Killarney includes the bonus if no deals made.
WPT Global has added a €100,000 bonus to the Irish Poker Cup Main Event. Players can qualify through the OnLive Day 1 on August 31. Winning the Main Event in Killarney converts the Golden Ticket into the six-figure reward.
Win a trophy, win a title, win a cool €100K on top? That’s what WPT Global is offering for this year’s Irish Poker Cup — if, of course, you can thread the needle.
The path starts online with the $815 (€700) OnLive Day 1 on August 31. Make it into the top 30, and you’ll walk away with a Golden Ticket.
From there, make your way to Killarney for the €500,000 GTD Main Event—and if you win it, that Golden Ticket turns into a €100,000 bonus on top of your payout.
But here’s the kicker: even if you bust in the online flight, your Golden Ticket stays live. Just re-enter in one of the live Day 1s and go from there.
The (Golden) Ticket Breakdown
- Play: August 31 OnLive Day 1
- Place: Top 30 finish = Golden Ticket
- Win: The Main Event = €100K added to winnings
Live Day 1s run from September 24–27 at the Gleneagle Hotel/INEC in Killarney. Survive to Day 2 on September 27, and you’re in the hunt.
A Few Asterisks, Because It’s Poker
This bonus has some fine print that matters: no deal-making allowed at the final table, or the bonus disappears. You also need to complete KYC before Day 2 or your stack won’t be in play.
And if turnout for the OnLive Day 1 is under 30? Then everyone gets a Golden Ticket. So yes, early registration might be slightly +EV.
One Series, Two Formats, Many Guinnesses
The Irish Poker Cup has become one of Europe’s best-loved mid-stakes live events, and WPT Global’s “OnLive” model gives players a chance to qualify — or at least compete — from home.
Same starting stacks, similar blind structure, 15-minute levels online (vs. 30 minutes live). It’s not quite a virtual festival, but it’s a seamless lead-in to one.
