Natural8 is boosting the APT Taipei 2026 festival with an Extra 8 percent Main Event payout bonus for online qualifiers. Players who cash will earn additional credits, while trophy winners and Main Event finalists receive $800 APT Online Main Event tickets.

The Asian Poker Tour is heading back to Taipei for the second festival of its 20-Year Anniversary season with APT Taipei 2026, and online qualifiers now have an added reason to chase a deep run in the Main Event.

To coincide with the festival, Natural8 has launched a new promotion designed specifically for players who qualify online. Through the Extra 8% Main Event Payout Bonus, eligible Natural8 qualifiers who finish in the money in the Main Event will receive an additional 8 percent bonus on top of their winnings.

The bonus is paid in Natural8 credits and comes with no cap, meaning larger payouts translate into bigger rewards. For example, a player who cashes for USD 10,000 would receive an extra USD 800 in Natural8 credits, while a massive USD 1,000,000 score would bring an additional USD 80,000 bonus.

How the Bonus Works

Eligibility for the promotion is straightforward. Players must qualify for the Main Event through Natural8 by one of the following methods:

Winning a satellite seat
Entering via the USD 1,750 OnLive Day 1
Buying in online

To qualify for the bonus, players must also use that entry to cash in the Main Event. Any Natural8 qualifier who reaches the money will automatically become eligible for the additional payout.

The credits will be issued after the festival concludes. Eligible players will be contacted by email and will have two weeks to claim their bonus. Like other credits on the platform, they will be subject to Natural8’s standard wagering requirements.

Importantly, the promotion only applies to the qualifying entry used to reach the money. If a player enters using a satellite seat but later re-enters the event with a direct buy-in, only the initial qualifying bullet remains eligible for the 8 percent payout bonus.

$800 APT Online Main Event Ticket for Trophy Winners

APT Taipei 2026 champions will also receive another reward beyond the trophy. Every winner of an official trophy event during the festival will be awarded an $800 APT Online Main Event Ticket. The ticket will be credited directly to the player’s Natural8 account and can be used for the APT Online 2026 Main Event.

In addition to trophy winners, every player who reaches the APT Taipei 2026 Main Event final table will also receive the same $800 ticket. Participation is simple. Players only need to have a Natural8 account in order to receive the reward once it is credited.

There is also no cap on the number of tickets a player can earn. A player who wins multiple trophy events during the festival will receive multiple $800 APT Online Main Event tickets, giving champions more opportunities to convert their live success into major online results.
