APL Tournaments - Win Cash for Free Every Week!
The Asia Poker League (APL) is your chance to compete every day in exclusive tournaments against other players in the region, win cash prizes and prove that you are the best by making it to the top of the league rankings! It’s free to play, and the highest-scoring players at the end of every week get to share a cash prize pool of $500!
How the Asia Poker League Works
League points are awarded in every APL tournament, and you can get your seat to the next tournament for free by playing any of the APL Shootout Sit & Go qualifiers. These run concurrently, from 07:00-15:00 ET, Monday-Friday, and the winner of each gets a seat to one* of the APL tournaments.
The APL tournaments run at the times and days listed below, and you can buy-in directly for just $0.10. To register, open the PokerStars client and click ‘Tourney’ & ‘Regional’.
| Buy-In | Date | Time | Prize |
|---|---|---|---|
| $0.10 | Monday-Friday | 09:00 ET | $500 weekly prize pool |
* Players will be awarded an APL tournament ticket which can be used to participate in one tournament. This ticket may only be used once and must be used within seven days - after this point the ticket will expire.
Points & Prizes
Each APL tournament awards points and prizes as listed below, and you even get one point just for taking part. The players with the most points at the end of the week get a share of the $500 prize pool.
You can keep track of where you stand in the daily rankings on the APL League Table page.
