The Asian Poker Tour (APT) was founded in 2006. To date, the APT has staged more than 110 major events and numerous smaller tournaments mainly in the Asia-Pacific Region. The tour has stopped at Philippines, Macau, South Korea, Cambodia, Vietnam, India, China, Australia, London, New Caledonia and Mauritius. APT events combined have generated over US$50 Million in prize money all awarded to players. [4]
Asian Poker Tour (APT) was founded in 2006 by Capital Events Pte – a company based in Singapore.
In 2008 APT was acquired by AsianLogic but Capital Events Pte will continue to run the tour, which recently added the Korean Professional Poker Tour and remains a shareholder. The agreement will see AsianLogic manage the running of the APT's online and land-based tournaments, as well as taking control of the APT's brand and URLs giving the company access to the APT database, which it hopes will help drive players to its poker sites. [5] .
In June 2022, APT Events Private Limited bought the Asian Poker Tour is set to expand its presence outside of Asia. [6] APT veteran Lloyd Fontillas will, however, continue in his capacity as General Manager & Executive Tournament Director, with added responsibilities. [7]
