The Six-Week Countdown: Inside WPT Global’s WPT Cyprus Satellite Deadlines

When it comes to high-value online poker promotions, missing a crucial logistical deadline can be just as costly as a bad beat on the river. WPT Global has officially initiated a precise, six-week countdown for its WPT Cyprus Championship online qualifiers, running from June 28 until August 9, 2026. 

The qualification pipeline runs continuously through a three-step tournament tree. Micro-stakes feeders begin with the daily $1.10 Step Satellites, which advance players into the daily $11 Satellites. Both daily tiers funnel directly into the premier $108 Qualifier, which takes place every single Sunday at 18:06 UTC.

The first $108 Qualifier takes place on July 5, 2026, giving players their first major shot at the prize package, while the entire promotion concludes with the Final Qualifier on August 9, 2026.

Every package won through the Sunday $108 tournaments delivers a comprehensive itinerary for the live event at the Chamada Prestige Hotel & Spa in Cyprus. The prize includes a WPT Cyprus Championship tournament entry, a five-night hotel stay (August 18–23, 2026), an all-inclusive food and beverage hospitality package, airport transfers, exclusive merchandise, and automatic eligibility for an exclusive $100,000 Winner's Bonus if the qualifier takes down the live title.

To make sure these prizes are actually honored, players must log these critical administrative deadlines:

• August 11, 2026 (KYC Deadline): Players must pass full KYC identity verification by this date. Failure to do so results in immediate disqualification and package removal with no cash alternatives.

• August 15, 2026 (Booking Deadline): Package winners must contact the Chamada Prestige Hotel and provide all booking details to lock in their room and airport transfers.

• Transfer Restrictions: If a player wins multiple packages, the first must be used by the account holder. Packages may be transferred to a KYC-verified friend, but the transfer instantly forfeits the hotel stay, hospitality benefits, and the $100,000 Winner's Bonus.

• The No-Chop Rule: The $100,000 on-top cash bonus requires the live tournament to play to a natural finish; any deals or prize-pool chops instantly void the promotion.
