Beyond tournament prize pools, APT Online 2026 offers $400,000 in additional rewards through three promotions.

Each of the 20 trophy event winners receives a $10,000 seat to the APT Championship Main Event, in addition to their tournament winnings. This brings the total value of the Championship seats awarded through the series to $200,000.

$100,000 APT Championship Freeroll

The $100,000 APT Championship Freeroll takes place on November 7. Its prizes include APT Championship satellite tickets and a $10,000 APT Championship Main Event seat.

Every eligible player receives one freeroll entry. Playing each unique APT Online Trophy Event adds 1,000 chips to the player's freeroll starting stack. Participation in one trophy event provides 1,000 chips, while playing all 20 provides 20,000 chips.

Re-entries do not earn additional starting chips. Satellite entries alone do not count towards the stack, but players who qualify through a satellite and subsequently play the relevant trophy event receive credit for that event.

A separate $100,000 tournament leaderboard rewards players based on their performances across the 20 trophy events.
