The partnership will offer APAT members access to GGPoker’s advanced platform and extensive player base to develop their skills, compete in prestigious events, and connect with poker enthusiasts worldwide.

As part of the collaboration, GGPoker will host exclusive online events for APAT members, including Championship tournaments and qualifiers for live events.
