With The Lord Poker Tournament (TLPT) returning to Jeju from May 15 to 25 for TLPT Jeju , one of the key talking points this year is not just the schedule, but how the series is presenting its pricing.

At a time when players are increasingly questioning hidden costs and unclear rake structures, TLPT has made a clear shift towards full transparency, with all fees now separated and easy to understand.

Clear Fee Structure With No Hidden Charges

For TLPT Jeju, the focus has been on a more transparent fee structure, with all costs clearly shown upfront.

Buy-ins are listed alongside their fees, rather than having deductions taken from the prize pool. Players can clearly see what goes into the prize pool and what is charged on top before registering.

For High Roller events, the total fee is 7%, made up of 4% service fee and 3% staff fee. Circuit events follow a similar approach, with a total of 13% split between 10% service fee and 3% staff fee.

As outlined in the official structure, “The buy-in including admin and staff fee. 10% admin fee and 3% staff fee for circuits events; 4% admin fee and 3% staff fee for the HR events.”

The key point is that nothing is hidden. Players can clearly see both the prize pool contribution and the total fees before registering, avoiding the confusion that can come from structures where multiple costs are built into the headline number.

With more players paying attention to transparency around rake and fees, this straightforward approach keeps everything clear from the start.

Free Shot at the High Roller

Another standout feature of the series is the High Roller satellite system, which gives players a chance to qualify with no initial cost.

There are two satellites scheduled, running on Wednesday, May 20 at 2pm and Thursday, May 21 at 12pm. Both are listed with a $1,500 buy-in, but every player is given one free entry into a satellite.

The free entry applies once per player, not once per event. If players do not make it through, they can re-enter for the standard $1,500.

It is a simple structure that lowers the barrier to entry while still keeping the format straightforward for those looking to take another shot.

Early Bird Deals Closing Soon

Additionally, the Team Events early bird deal is still active, with the event stealing the spotlight in the early days of the festival.

Each package comes with its own deadline, with the earliest closing on May 1 and the final option available until May 15.
