Why Asia Remains One of the Fastest-Growing Poker Markets
The continued expansion of tours such as Gods of Poker reflects the growing popularity of live tournament poker across Asia.
Countries including the Philippines, Taiwan, South Korea, Cambodia, and Vietnam now host regular international festivals that attract players from around the world. Established tours have demonstrated strong attendance in these markets, while newer brands like GOP continue to add destinations and increase tournament offerings.
The Arena of Champions in Manila, featuring 82 trophy events and ₱60 million in guaranteed prize pools, highlights the confidence organizers have in the continued growth of the Asian poker community. As more international players travel throughout the region, Asia’s position on the global poker calendar continues to strengthen.
