WPT Global has announced the WPT Asia Series: Overdrive, an online poker festival running from July 19 to August 30. The 43-day series guarantees more than ¥200 million in total prize money, including 13 WPT Rings up for grabs.
Of the 13 ring events, seven are single-day tournaments, while the remaining six will feature lower buy-ins with multiple starting flights. This follows last week’s announcement of the Triple Ring Challenge, which offers players the chance to win a ¥3 million (roughly $440,000) bonus for capturing three WPT Rings across WPT Asia Series festivals.
Beyond the ring events, WPT Global is also running a ¥2 million weekly leaderboard promotion throughout the series. The first four weeks will each award ¥300,000, while Weeks 5 and 6 will see the guarantee rise to ¥400,000 per week. Rankings are determined through a combination of tournament points, early bird points, and bubble points, with points awarded based on finishing position and tournament tier.
Each weekly leaderboard will pay out to the top 500 finishers, with prizes ranging from ¥100 up to ¥50,000 during the first four weeks, and up to ¥65,200 during the final two weeks.
Additionally, players can take part in daily missions offering 42 separate chances to share in ¥50,000 each day. Completing tasks such as deposits, designated tournaments, or casino wagering earns entry into hourly All-In Flip tournaments, which feed into a Daily Final held at 10:30 p.m. UTC+8, guaranteeing ¥50,000 per day — totaling ¥2.1 million across the series.
New players joining via PokerNews can also access welcome bonuses, including a $15.50 gift package for deposits of $10 or more, along with up to 100% cashback on deposits up to $3,000, unlockable over 60 days through poker and casino play.
