The World Poker Tour continues to expand its presence in Asia. After Cambodia, the popular poker brand will host the first-ever WPT Championship in Bangkok, the Thai capital, in 2025.
An important meeting was held on April 10, 2025, with several participants:
Poker company representatives do not usually negotiate directly with official government representatives. However, there was a compelling reason for this meeting, as the final outcome was the decision to host the debut of the First WPT Thai in Bangkok this year.
Likewise, the Thai authorities:
In January, the Thai authorities passed a law legalizing casinos and gambling. If adopted by parliament, a major live casino industry could emerge in the country within the next five years. This could attract new tourists.
The WPT will be the first major poker brand to tap into the prospects of the Thai poker market and plans to organize three to four tournament series in the country next year.
The event's popularity could be guaranteed by online satellites in the WPT Global poker room, including buy-ins and packages. In fact, thanks to this, the WPT Cambodia Championship held in February had over 1,500 buy-ins. Players from eight countries made the final table of the tournament.
