The World Poker Tour (WPT) is continuing its push into the fashionable world of NFTs by partnering with Theta Labs to create a Web3-based season pass for all WPT broadcasts. This is the first product of this kind on the poker world and will be located on the Theta blockchain.
Forward-Thinking
This season pass will be given to all WPT NFT owners without any cost and will be for sale on ThetaDrop.
The WPT is carving a name for itself as a trailblazer when it comes to utilising technology to engage with fans. WPT CEO Adam Pliska said in a press release:
“We are proud to partner with Theta to offer users an exclusive way to access WPT Seasons 18 and 19 with the first digital season pass powered by Theta Metachain. WPT has always taken a forward-thinking approach to using technology to engage with our users, and this is the next step in bringing more value to our loyal fans.”
Season 19 of the WPT will run from December 2022 through February 2023 and will be available to all pass holders without commercials.
Back in February of this year, the WPT launched the first NFT poker club. Teaming up with GAMAVRS, the Poker Heroes Club was born and allows members all manner of special perks.
“Club members will be able to use their Poker Heroes as in-client avatars with special abilities such as access to freeroll tournaments, exclusive celebrity tables, and access to WPT live VIP events. Poker Heroes owners can upload their NFTs to use as avatars that unlock ‘poker superpowers’ on an exciting, upcoming online poker venue, WPTGlobal. Once they have been properly verified in the WPT Global client, they’ll unlock access to exciting in-game perks.”
