Extra 8% Payout Bonus for Natural8 Qualifiers

The Journey to APT Jeju 2026 campaign also includes an extra 8% payout bonus for eligible Natural8 qualifiers who finish in the money in the APT Jeju 2026 Main Event.

The bonus is available to players who qualify through Natural8 satellites or the $1,888 OnLive flight. Direct buy-ins are not eligible.

For example, a $10,000 cashout would qualify for an additional $800 in Natural8 credits, subject to the stated terms and conditions.

Trophy Winners Can Receive an $800 Online Ticket - Every APT Jeju 2026 trophy winner is eligible for an $800 Online Main Event ticket. Players must have a Natural8 account and win an official APT Jeju 2026 trophy event to receive the ticket.

Target Stack Satellites Offer Another Qualification Format - Journey to APT Jeju 2026 also features Target Stack Satellites.

Under this format, reaching the specified chip milestone immediately ends the tournament for the qualifying player, who receives a seat to the target event.

The example provided uses a target stack of 120,000 chips. Once a player reaches 120,000 chips, the seat is awarded without requiring the player to continue until the tournament ends.

Qualification and Attendance Requirements

Players who qualify for the live events through the promotion are required to attend in person. If a player cannot attend the live Main Event, the seat is forfeited.

Natural8 states that its team will contact qualifying players by email with further details, instructions and a digital seat coupon by September 22, 2026.

After confirming attendance, players must approach the APT registration counter at the venue with their digital seat coupon at least one day before Main Event Day 1 begins on September 27.

Players are also advised to complete KYC verification as soon as possible because participants will be identified at APT Jeju 2026 using their real names.

Players qualifying through OnLive Day 1 who cannot attend Live Day 3 will forfeit their stack and receive the minimum cash in the form of online credits after the Live Main Event.
