The World Amateur Poker Tour™, (WAPT)™ was founded in 2004 and in that year, the first ever poker league was conceptualized and the International Amateur Poker League™(IAPL™) was started. In addition, national and continental tournaments, including the first ever World Amateur Poker Championship™ were held. The entire program was operated on-line until 2009.
With the legal uncertainty related to on-line poker, the WAPT, in keeping with its mission statement, abandoned the on-line program and is embarking on an event licensing program with legal and licensed Casino card rooms only.
WAPT poker tournaments are held only at legal Casino card rooms ensuring a secure, fair and fun experience for all Amateur poker players.
