Micro-stakes tournament grinders have a massive new volume option to add to their daily schedules. WPT Global launched its Mega Hour promotion, a daily tournament series specifically designed to give low-stakes players a shot at substantial prize pools for minimal risk. 


Running around the clock during peak hours, the series injects significant daily guarantees into the platform's micro-stakes lobby, making it one of the most accessible value options currently available in online poker.

Schedule and Format Breakdown

The series is built for consistent, hourly action, ensuring that players can find a tournament regardless of when they choose to log in.

  • Daily Running Times: 12:00 to 24:00 (UTC+8)
  • Frequency: At least one Mega Hour event kicks off every hour during the block.

To keep the grind engaging, WPT Global is utilizing a diverse mix of poker variants rather than sticking strictly to standard formats. The daily rotation includes traditional No-Limit Hold'em, Progressive Knockouts (PKOs), and highly popular Mystery Bounty tournaments.

Massive Guarantees for Pocket Change

The standout feature of the Mega Hour lineup is the striking balance between low barriers to entry and high financial upside.


Every single day, the promotion guarantees a collective ¥500,000 (approximately $69,000 USD) in prize pools across the schedule. Despite the heavy daily payouts, the average buy-in for these events hovers at just ¥30 (approximately $4 USD).
