Team Event and Creator Program Open for RDPT PLUS Jeju Summer 2026
The Red Dragon Poker Tour (RDPT) is adding some extra spice to this summer’s RDPT PLUS Jeju Summer 2026 , with applications now open for two of the festival’s most interactive features: the returning Red Dragon Team Event and the new RDPT PLUS Creator Program.
Running from July 8-19 at Les A Casino in Jeju, South Korea , the festival comes loaded with a 92-trophy-event schedule, headlined by the KRW 1.8 billion guaranteed Main Event. Players can read more about the full stop in our RDPT PLUS Jeju Summer announcement article .
There is plenty more on the menu too, including the popular “WePoker” Dragon Egg Mystery Bounty , which features a KRW 150 million top mystery bounty and should bring another round of egg-cracking theatre to Jeju.
Red Dragon Team Event Brings the Squad Game Back
The Red Dragon Team Event has become one of the most anticipated side attractions on the RDPT schedule, mostly because it gives players something tournament poker does not always offer: someone else to blame when things go sideways.
Joking aside, this is one of the more social events on the calendar. Instead of every player battling purely for their own result, each member contributes to the team’s overall score, with advancements, points, and key finishes all feeding into the final standings.
That format gives the event a different rhythm. Teammates sweat each other’s runs, celebrate the small wins, and suddenly every all-in matters to more than just the player with the cards in front of them.
As one of the most popular signature events on the RDPT schedule, the Team Event continues to attract returning groups alongside first-time participants looking for a different kind of festival experience.
Teams must consist of four players, with at least one member being a first-time RDPT participant. Approved teams that register before the June 20 deadline will receive an eight-night complimentary hotel stay and custom team merchandise.
The field is limited to 36 teams.

RDPT Wants Creators in the Mix
RDPT is also opening the door for content creators through the new RDPT PLUS Creator Program.
The idea is simple: bring vloggers, streamers, influencers, and poker creators into the festival and let them show the series from angles that do not always make it into a standard recap.
Selected creators will receive hotel support and opportunities to be featured across RDPT’s official channels. The aim is to capture more of the people, atmosphere, table talk, rail moments, and Jeju-side stories that make up the full festival experience.
From Main Event deep runs to side-event celebrations and life around Jeju Island, creators will have the chance to show the festival in their own voice.
