CTP Asia Poker Arena & Red Space Taipei | 2 Venue Guide

CTP Asia Poker Arena & Red Space Taipei are the primary hubs for Taiwanese poker . Combined, these CTP-operated venues host the world’s biggest tours, including the Asian Poker Tour (APT)  and World Poker Tour (WPT) , providing a massive 100+ table capacity across Taipei.

Two Venues, One World-Class Experience

• Asia Poker Arena (APA): The “Crown Jewel” located in Zhongshan, featuring 540 square meters of space, 65+ tables, and a professional RFID livestreaming studio.
• Red Space: The high-energy urban hub in Songshan, serving as a primary tournament center and essential overflow venue for massive international series.
• Seamless Integration: Both venues operate under the CTP umbrella, meaning registration, memberships, and player services are fully integrated via the CTP App.

Tournament Dynamics

Because poker in Taiwan is recognized as a “Mind Sport,” action at both APA and Red Space is strictly tournament-focused. During major festivals, the schedule is often split between the two:

* Asia Poker Arena typically hosts the Main Stage events, High Rollers, and televised Final Tables.
* Red Space handles massive opening flights, side events, and satellite tournaments to ensure a smooth player experience.

Daily tournaments run year-round with buy-ins from TWD 1,000 to TWD 4,000, while major series see events scaling up to TWD 100,000+.
