What Your Freeroll Ticket Gets You

A $12 ticket sounds small. It isn't. It's the first rung of a ladder that ends at a $10,000 Main Event seat in Taipei.

The $12 Route to Taipei

Three wins. That's all that stands between a free ticket and one of the biggest events on the Asian poker calendar.

The $90 step runs daily, so you can keep climbing on your own schedule. Check the Natural8 lobby for start times.

Freeroll Ticket Rules You Should Know

• Tickets are credited after the freeroll ends, subject to verification

• They work only in the Journey to APT Championship satellites

• No cash value - you can't sell, gift, transfer, or cash them out

• Unused or expired tickets are forfeited

• One player, one account - multi-accounting gets you banned

Win a ticket tonight? Use it. An unused ticket is a wasted shot at Taipei.

Missed the Freeroll? You Still Have Options

Didn't make it in time? Your Taipei dream isn't over. Natural8 runs several other routes to the Main Event.

• $20 ladder - $20 Step 1, then $150, then the $1,100 MEGA for a Main Event seat

APT Championship Taipei 2026: What You're Playing For

This isn't just another tournament. The APT Championship Taipei is one of the biggest live poker festivals Asia will see this year.

The Main Event is a one-bullet freezeout. Everyone gets one shot - and a satellite seat gives you that shot for a fraction of the buy-in.

Natural8 also hosts its own events in Taipei, including the Mystery Bounty Championship (TWD 15,000,000 GTD) and the Natural8 Cup Championship Freezeout (USD 1,000,000 GTD).

See the full schedule on our APT Championship Taipei 2026 event page, or browse the 2026 poker calendar.
