Next month, the World Poker Tour (WPT) is gearing up for a historic moment at Wynn Las Vegas with a massive $5 million freeroll, the largest in poker history. But getting a seat at this high-stakes table isn’t as simple as just showing up — you’ll need an invitation or, for a few lucky players, a win through ClubWPT Gold’s satellite events. Running November 16th and 17th, these online satellites will award 30 players an entry into this exclusive tournament, opening the door for a chance to compete for that seven-figure prize.
The Historic $5 Million Freeroll
With a record-breaking $5 million prize pool, including a $1 million top prize, this freeroll has unsurprisingly captured attention across the poker world. The event, taking place from December 13th to December 15th at the Wynn, is expected to host around 2,000 players, making it one of the most significant poker freerolls ever held.
For those who secure a seat, the stakes are high, and the incentives go beyond the first-place prize. Players in the tournament can win additional prizes, like seats in the $10,400 WPT World Championship, and Mystery Bounties totaling $720,000, with two $100,000 prizes in the mix. The opportunities don’t end there, either — the freeroll will see 25% of the field make it to the money, keeping the payouts flowing.
Satellite Weekend at ClubWPT Gold
Getting into this exclusive event isn’t as complicated as it may sound. ClubWPT Gold members have a straightforward way in, thanks to two upcoming satellites. The first satellite on November 16th at 6:30 p.m. ET is open to Diamond members only, while the second satellite, held on November 17th at 4:00 p.m. ET, is open to both Diamond and VIP members. Each satellite will hand out 15 seats to the freeroll, totaling 30 seats up for grabs.
If you’re aiming to qualify, there are a few key steps to keep in mind:
- Players need to register with ClubWPT Gold by midnight ET on Novemebr 13th
- Use the promo code “CLUBWPT” when signing up
- Match email addresses on both ClubWPT.com and ClubWPTGold.com accounts, as this is required for eligibility.
The qualifying satellites will be listed as the ClubWPT Gold $5M Invitational Freeroll Passport Qualifier in the game lobby, so players should keep an eye out to register.
What the Winners Receive
The 30 top finishers from the satellites won’t just get a ticket to play — they’ll be receiving the full ClubWPT Gold Passport treatment.
Along with their seat in the Wynn freeroll, winners receive ClubWPT Gold-branded merchandise and exclusive access to the ClubWPT Gold lounge at Wynn during the tournament. It’s a package designed to give players the full VIP experience as they compete for life-changing money.
Details on the December Event at Wynn
This $5 million freeroll isn’t just about the $1 million first-place prize — there’s much more in store for those who make it to Wynn. Around 2,000 participants will take to the felt, with 25% of the field making it to the money. Players who don’t cash out in the main event still have a shot at one of 100 seats for the $10,400 WPT World Championship.
The event is also set to feature Mystery Bounties worth $720,000, with two standout prizes of $100,000 each. For those who reach the final table, the stakes get even higher, with additional Mystery Bounties offering between $0 and $200,000.
