If you're in the middle of mapping out an online route to a live championship, WPT Global has you covered with its Live Champion Bonus, which keeps the steps predictable. Each week, low-buy-in feeders lead to a single Sunday final that awards two packages and confers Golden Ticket status on every winner.

The Weekly Ladder: From Micro Steps To Sunday Finals

The action begins with $1.10 feeders that award $11 seats, then $11 feeders that award $110 seats.

The $110 Sunday satellite runs at 22:00 UTC on August 24 and 31, and on September 7, 14, and 21. Each of those Sunday finals guarantees two $2,100 packages, aligning the qualifiers with the live dates in October.

What Your Package Covers And How Transfers Work

A $2,100 package includes the $1,100 Championship buy-in and a $1,000 travel stipend paid into your WPT Global account.

Travel and accommodation are on the player for this one. Packages can be transferred to an eligible, fully KYC-verified friend if you win more than one or if you are under 21 and therefore cannot play live in the United States.

Just keep in mind that no cash alternatives are offered, and any unused tickets expire.

A Few Golden Ticket Conditions You Should Know

The Golden Ticket is a result-based bonus. This means that if you win the WPT Prime Lodge Championship as a package winner, you'll receive an extra $100,000 from WPT Global.

With that said, the Championship must finish naturally for the bonus to apply; negotiated deals void the bonus. Also, good to know, the Golden Tickets cannot be transferred and have no standalone value.

WPT Prime Lodge: A Little Snapshot

The WPT Prime Lodge Championship runs October 9 to 13 at The Lodge Card Club in Austin, Texas, with a $1,100 entry and a $1,000,000 guarantee.

Given the October 1 KYC deadline for package and Golden Ticket eligibility, qualifiers should complete verification early and confirm any travel or visa requirements in good time.
