TMT Championship 2026 Nears Kickoff With Updated High Roller Packages and New Player Benefits

Less than a week remains until the TMT Championship 2026 gets underway at CTP Asia Poker Arena in Taipei, Taiwan, with several new additions announced ahead of the October 16 start.

The 11-day Taiwan Millions Tournament (TMT) festival runs from October 16 to 26 with more than NTD 48 million in guarantees, led by the NTD 35,000 TMT Championship Main Event and its NTD 30 million guaranteed prize pool.

Since the original schedule and player offers were released, TMT has updated its High Roller package program, added five evening High Roller Battle Stack events, highlighted additional VIP benefits and released a separate High Roller rakeback promotion.

Players looking for the wider festival breakdown, including the Main Event Early Bird package and WPF Ladies Weekend 2026, can revisit Somuchpoker's full TMT Championship 2026 preview.

Updated TMT Championship High Roller Packages

Players planning to enter multiple High Roller events now have four updated packages to choose from, with additional tournament credits available depending on the amount committed.

The NTD 150,000 package allows players to choose their events freely and adds NTD 10,000 in credits, while the NTD 200,000 package follows the same format with NTD 20,000 in additional credits.

At the higher end, the NTD 300,000 package includes automatic registration for the NTD 150,000 Super High Roller and adds NTD 30,000 in credits.

The NTD 400,000 package includes automatic registration for both the NTD 100,000 High Roller on October 22 and the NTD 150,000 Super High Roller on October 23, together with NTD 30,000 in credits and a TMT Championship Main Event ticket.

For the NTD 150,000 and NTD 200,000 packages, bonus credits are issued once 80% of the original credits have been used. For the two larger packages, the additional credits are released after the required events have been completed.

Credits are valid for TMT Championship 2026 High Roller events only and have no cash value, although cash top-ups are accepted. Unused original credits can also be carried forward to TMT January 2027 and TMT Championship 2027.

For the NTD 400,000 package, the Main Event ticket is issued at purchase and must be used before October 24 at 6:30 p.m. If the required events are not completed, NTD 35,000 is deducted from the remaining credits.

Players can find the updated package announcement through TMT's official Instagram.

Five High Roller Battle Stack Events Added

Another late addition gives High Roller players a new option during the busiest stretch of Main Event week.

TMT has added five High Roller Battle Stack events, with one scheduled at 7 p.m. each night from October 22 to 26.

CTP has previously used the Battle Stack format for 50-big-blind tournaments. For these Championship High Roller editions, the published schedule confirms 40-minute levels, with registration closing after Level 3.

The first three High Roller Battle Stack events, from October 22 to 24, carry NTD 30,000 buy-ins. The final two, on October 25 and 26, increase to NTD 50,000.

They join an already busy High Roller schedule. The NTD 100,000 High Roller takes place on October 22, followed by the NTD 150,000 Super High Roller on October 23. Further High Rollers are scheduled at NTD 40,000 on October 24, NTD 100,000 on October 25 and NTD 60,000 on October 26.

Players can find the latest event times and buy-ins on the complete TMT Championship 2026 schedule.

High Roller Rakeback Plan Released

TMT has also released a separate High Roller rakeback plan ahead of the Championship, adding another incentive for players targeting the higher-stakes end of the schedule.

The promotion sits alongside the updated High Roller packages and new Battle Stack events as TMT continues to add value for players planning to play multiple tournaments during the end of the series.

Players can check the full qualification and redemption terms in TMT's official High Roller rakeback announcement.

High Roller Packages Offer Route to TMTC VIP Status

Purchasing one of the High Roller packages is also one route to TMTC VIP status.

VIP benefits include express registration, five CTP Café coffee vouchers and entry into a TMT merchandise giveaway.

High Roller package buyers are not the only players eligible. VIP status is also available to TMTC 2025 and TMT20 trophy winners, previous TMT Main Event champions, players meeting selected GPI Masters ranking criteria in Taiwan or at CTP branches, members of the WPF Taiwan representative team and specially invited international players.

Players can also purchase VIP status directly for NTD 8,000.

NTD 30 Million Main Event Remains the Centerpiece

While much of the latest news has focused on the High Roller schedule, the main target remains the TMT Championship Main Event.

The NTD 35,000 tournament carries an NTD 30 million guarantee and begins on October 22, with six starting flights spread across three days.

Flights A and B take place on October 22, Flights C and D follow on October 23, and the final two starting flights run on October 24. Survivors return for Day 2 on October 25 before the champion is crowned on October 26.

The Main Event sits at the heart of an 11-day festival stretching from affordable No-Limit Hold'em tournaments and mixed games through to the expanded High Roller schedule.

Players still considering their Main Event options can also find details of the Flight A Early Bird offer in Somuchpoker's original TMT Championship 2026 preview.

TMT Championship 2026 Begins October 16

The countdown is now firmly on, with TMT Championship 2026 running from October 16 to 26 at CTP Asia Poker Arena in Taipei.

The updated High Roller packages, five Battle Stack additions, rakeback promotion and VIP benefits give players several new options since the Championship was first announced, while the NTD 30 million guaranteed Main Event remains the main target during the closing five days.
