The TLPT Jeju 2026 High Roller Freeroll Satellite promotion remains one of the most attractive added-value offers on the schedule , giving players a free shot at winning their way into the series’ High Roller Main Event.

With the festival now approaching, organizers have confirmed an important eligibility update for players planning to take part in the freeroll satellites.

Free High Roller Satellite Entry for Event Players

Players can qualify for a free entry into the TLPT High Roller Freeroll Satellites by participating in at least one eligible event during the series.

The eligible events are:

Opening Event
Team Event
High Roller Event
Main Event

Any player who enters one of these events will be eligible for the freeroll opportunity, which gives them a chance to win a seat into the TLPT High Roller Main Event.

Two Freeroll Satellites Scheduled

The promotion includes two High Roller Freeroll Satellites during the series, giving qualified players more than one chance to take advantage of the offer.

The freeroll satellites were already part of the TLPT Jeju promotion, but the updated qualification rule has now been added to help manage demand at the festival.

TLPT Jeju Runs May 15-25

The TLPT Jeju 2026 festival will run from May 15 to 25, 2026, at LES A Casino at Shinhwa World in Jeju, South Korea .

The series features a USD 1,000 Main Event with a USD 1,500,000 guarantee, while the full festival is projected to generate around USD 8,000,000 in total prize pools.

For players heading to Jeju, the High Roller Freeroll Satellites add another reason to get involved early, with entry into one of the eligible events unlocking a free chance at a major High Roller seat.
