It’s the norm nowadays with real money online poker for operators to go much further than just offer a range of Texas Hold’em and Omaha cash tables, Sit & Go games and online poker tournaments and so on. If a poker room doesn’t make an effort to provide players with the prospect of enjoying a big money live poker tournament experience, it can’t expect to compete in an industry that no longer sees the online and live poker sectors as separate, stand-alone entities. Indeed, the two are closely connected and harmoniously co-exist to the point that the world is a much bigger place for both.

Not that many years ago, the new generation of players who had never set foot in a casino knew only of online poker tournaments and had no interest in bricks & mortar poker, while the traditionalist old guard, for their part, didn’t consider the new-fangled online version as the real deal. Fastforward to today, and it’s completely normal even for poker-on-the-sofa hobbyists to seek out ways to qualify online for prestigious poker festivals around the globe.

Living up to their name, WPT Global – the online platform of the mighty World Poker Tour (WPT) – have already carved out a deserved reputation, despite being in existence only since 2022, for being a great springboard to live events. And it’s not like yesteryear, when events seemed to be populated by just the same band of top players and the indulgent rich – everyone now gets the chance to play for big money in exotic locations.

One such is San Remo. The gem of the Italian Riviera is known as Italy’s Monte Carlo, and it’s easy to see why. The popular holiday spot will welcome all-comers in the beginning of June when it hosts a much-awaited WPT Prime event. If your only live poker experience has been limited to the poker room at your local downtown casino, then you might want to take up the opportunity to win yourself a $1,500 WPT Poker Passport and prepare for a poker culture shock…

San Remo – also known as the City of Flowers – is a sun-washed Mediterranean paradise on the western coast of Liguria, and is a perfect destination. Even San Remo’s luxurious casino is an extra special venue, serving as host of the famous Italian Song Festival (allegedly the inspiration for the Eurovision Song Contest) and, during Mussolini’s reign, the only exception to Italy’s gambling ban.
