ClubWPT Gold is a new sweepstakes-based platform that will be launching in 2025. The $5 million ClubWPT freeroll is a three-day event that pays out $1 million to the winner. The World Poker Tour has been providing entries into the biggest freeroll in poker history, and offering tons of direct value to the poker community and WPT World Championship Festival.

For the 2,000 winners of a Golden Passport to the ClubWPT Gold $5M Invitational Freeroll, the event is going to be unforgettable. It’s the one-of-one tournament with a million-dollar first-place prize that has ignited the imagination of the poker community as to what could be. Ahead of the Friday night dealine, 30 Golden Passports remain in the drum to be drawn from the 200 total passports.

The celebrations for the looming launch of ClubWPT are picking up speed during the WPT Championship Festival with one person winning a 2025 gold plated McLaren GTS, courtesy of ClubWPT Gold.

Three Gold Jackpot winners have been determined, and those players will draw for the top prize of a 2025 Gold McLaren GTS (or $150,000 cash) ahead of the Dec. 15 WPT Gold Freeroll TV Final Table. The two runner-ups will both win cash prizes up to $50,000 from the Ultimate Cash Booth drawing.

The popular Meet-Up Game is Dec. 17 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Wynn Las Vegas. Live cash games with WPT ambassadors, poker pros and celebrities plus prizes and drawings into tournaments are part of the fun festivities.

The WPT World Championship Festival is providing more opportunities than ever this year for players to try their hand at tournament poker.
