WPT® Global is running a Battle of Malta satellite series through May 17, with qualification path starting from as little as $1.10 — or free via a weekly Sunday freeroll.
The Satellite Path
The four-step ladder runs as follows:
| Step | Buy-in | What You Win |
|---|---|---|
| Freeroll or Step 1 | Free / $1.10 | $11 satellite ticket |
| Step 2 | $11 | Entry to $110 qualifier |
| Step 3 | $110 | $1,600 BoM package (2x GTD per week) |
| Package | $1,600 value | Full Battle of Malta package |
The $110 final runs every Sunday at 19:05 UTC. Each week guarantees two $1,600 packages plus $550 in added MTT entries. Sunday freerolls run at 17:02 UTC and guarantee four $11 satellite tickets per event. Both the freerolls and the satellite series are open to players in Europe and Canada only.
What the $1,600 Package Includes
| Component | Detail |
|---|---|
| Main Event entry | €600 Battle of Malta Main Event |
| Hotel | 4 nights at Holiday Inn (May 29–June 2), breakfast included, for 2 people |
| Travel stipend | $200, paid to the winner's WPT® Global account |

The $100,000 Live Champion Bonus
WPT® Global will add $100,000 to the winner's prize if the winner is one of the first 20 players to have qualified via a Sunday $110 satellite on WPT® Global — whether they entered that satellite through the feeder stages or bought in directly at $110.
The bonus requires the Main Event to play to a natural conclusion. Any deal or prize-pool chop forfeits the bonus entirely. WPT® Global also reserves the right to cancel the bonus if collusion is suspected. Only 20 Golden Tickets are available across the full promotion period.
