Kiwi Poker League

We’re a New Zealand based, professionally organised league. Registration is free and there are events held at local bars and pubs throughout New Zealand each week.

Well done to Karl Meyer!

Karl is our latest KPL player to win a trip to Aussie, he will be joining Trent and the two players from the next final over in Aussie at either the Crown Casino in Melbourne or Star city in Sydney in July.

Our first Special event in Alexandra

On Saturday the 27th of March at 2pm we are holding a special $20 deep stack tournament at the Stadium Tavern in Alexandra, There will be CASH PRIZES and bonus spot prizes given away! Everyone is welcome but for those who regularly attend KPL events and are in the top 16 at any pub will receive a bonus $2500 chips to their regular $5000 chip starting stack. *note* if prize pool exceeds $500 a percentage will be donated to a chosen Charity.

Here's how points this year is going to work!

MORE BIG TOURNAMENTS

MORE PRIZES

MORE TRIPS TO AUSTRALIA

EVERY REGIONAL FINAL TWO PLAYERS WILL NOW GO TO AUSTRALIA TO PLAY FOR CASH!

1st place prize for the regional final will still be a trip to Australia but this time you are going to the Crown Casino in Melbourne and you will be playing a tournament with a $20,000 cash prize pool. (Prize includes, Flights, accommodation and entry fee to available tournament.) 2nd place = $200 3rd place = $150 4th place = $100 5th place =$50 (2nd-5th prizes based on a $500 pool) To gain entry to the regionals you need to score in the top 6 with points at your venue

The other lucky player to win the trip to Aussie will be one of the top point scorers of the season.

The top player with the most points from each venue at the end of the season will be invited to compete in a winner takes all bonus tournament on the same day as the regional final. He or she will play a knock out tournament where first place is a trip to Aussie's crown casino! (and as an added bonus the player with the most total points for the season overall will receive an extra $1000 chip to start the winner takes all game with) *Throughout the year KPL will be looking for sponsorship so note extra prizes are likely to be added on top of the main prizes

Another new change to the KPL structure is: seasons will be slightly longer (3months) but in between main event regionals that are held in Dunedin there will be bonus monthly mini regionals held away from Dunedin!

so the last weekend of each month there will be a big tournament with cash prizes and every 3 months there will be a main event regional with 2 trips to Aussie up for grabs!
