Passport package
An online satellite prize that covers not just the buy-in to a live event but travel and hotel as well, and — in the WPT Global version — can be used at a choice of stops. Packages are how most online qualifiers reach festivals abroad.
Frequently asked questions
What is a passport or travel package in poker?
A prize that bundles entry to a live event with the cost of getting there — typically the buy-in, hotel nights for the duration, a travel allowance and sometimes spending money. Operators run them as the top prize in online satellites and promotions.
How do you win one?
Usually through satellites, leaderboard races or qualifying freerolls on an operator's site. Multi-stage satellites are common: small buy-ins feed a weekly final, with the packages awarded there.
What should you check before accepting a package?
Whether it is transferable or convertible to cash, which event and dates it is tied to, what the travel allowance actually covers, who arranges the booking, and how the value is treated for tax where you live. The operator's promotional terms set all of this out — read them before the final table, not after.
