Latin American Poker Tour (LAPT) - How to enter
HOW TO ENTER
The easiest way to win a seat at an LAPT event is to qualify online with PokerStars. More than 130 players won seats for the first LAPT - in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil - and more than 190 players qualified for LAPT San José in Costa Rica.
Satellites for LAPT Punta del Este in Uruguay are running now until late July. Daily qualifiers give players the chance to win an LAPT prize package worth $5,000 - which includes the tournament buy-in, four nights' hotel accommodation and spending money to help cover transportation expenses.
To enter, go to the PokerStars tournament lobby, click "Events", then "LAPT".
STEPS SIT & GO SATELLITES
Players can also qualify for the LAPT with PokerStars Steps Sit & Go satellites. Buy-ins start from just $7.50 or 500 FPPs. Click LAPT Steps for more details.
HOW TO ENTER
Direct Buy-in Information
Players who'd like to register in advance for LAPT tournaments (and be guaranteed a seat!) should e-mail registrations@pokerstars.net to receive instructions on sending their payment by wire transfer or bank draft. Players may buy seat-only packages or they may also buy four-night LAPT accommodation packages which include breakfast - depending on availability. Qualifiers may also take the seat-only package.
For full details for each event, please click the following links: LAPT Rio | LAPT San José | LAPT Punta del Este
For those wishing to pay in person, cash purchases only will be accepted until the last moment depending on availability. Credit card buy-ins are not accepted and you cannot buy in from your PokerStars account.
W$ Buy-In Information
Depending on availability, players may buy in to LAPT events using W$ providing they have PlatinumStar or Supernova VIP status on PokerStars. Requests for W$ direct buy-ins must be submitted to registrations@pokerstars.net. Requests typically need to be received at least a week before the event and while PokerStars still has seats to sell. To avoid disappointment, please notify PokerStars as soon as possible if you want to buy-in directly. Players may buy seat-only packages or they may also buy four-night LAPT accommodation packages which include breakfast - depending on availability.
All W$ buy-ins to LAPT events will be PokerStars sponsored players for that event, and they are required to wear a PokerStars shirt for the duration of the tournament. All players who buy-in with W$ will be supplied with a PokerStars player bag.
