This is not the first time that Adda52.com has sent qualified players to WPT events. Last year the site hosted satellites enabling winning players to participate in a number of WPT events including WPT500 at ARIA Resort and Casino, WPT National U.K., WPT National China, WPT National Rozvadov and WPT National Cambodia.

So far the poker site has set over 30 players to such WPT events held across the world. This year Adda52.com is planning on increasing the number of players it sends. It is hoping to send around 20 players to take part in the WPT500 Las Vegas offering them a chance to showcase their poker skills on an international platform.

Adda52.com has an ongoing international brand licensing deal with the World Poker Tour which it signed in April 2016.Among other things, the agreement allows the site to send qualified players to WPT events. Adam Pliska, President and CEO of the WPT had said at that time that the deal would enable the WPT to expand its footprint into one of the fastest growing markets in poker and bring the WPT experience to poker players in India.
