Natural8 poker is currently trending in the Asian region, with its player base growing daily. The online poker platform offers 24-hour cash games and poker tournaments across a variety of stakes. Natural8's Daily Guarantees means there's $5 million to be won every week. Even better, these guarantees increase on Sundays and may even double up! There's the Daily Major Main Event, Daily Hyper, Daily Turbo, Daily Big and Daily Deep Stacks to choose from. Buy-ins start from as low as $2, and there are games starting almost every hour.
Earlier this month, the World Series of Poker announced a change in tactics for the 2020 WSOP. It planned to offer 85 tournaments online, all offering WSOP gold bracelets.
This week, the GGPoker Network revealed the list of events – 54 of 85 – that it will host on its online poker platform. That means Natural8 will be the closest skin on the network to offer the tournaments for people in the Asia-Pacific region. While Natural8 doesn’t accept players located in Australia, it does offer services to other countries, like New Zealand, in the region.
A Unique Year for WSOP
While Natural8 doesn’t accept players located in Australia, it does offer services to other countries, like New Zealand, in the region. A Unique Year for WSOP. The coronavirus pandemic changed the course of nearly everything in 2020. It certainly derailed poker players when casinos around the world closed to prevent the virus spread. Natural8 is Asia’s fastest growing poker room. With a player pool that hails from across the world and all walks of life, Natural8 plays host to a variety of players.
The coronavirus pandemic changed the course of nearly everything in 2020. It certainly derailed poker players when casinos around the world closed to prevent the virus spread.
Australia did relatively well with the containment of its virus cases, closing down in mid-March and then reopening very slowly in June and soon into July. Other parts of the world did not do as well, the United States being the most glaring example. Las Vegas was one of the cities to open its casinos in June, and Sin City is now seeing a spike in positive cases of Covid-19.
The direction of the disease curve is tough to predict going forward, but the World Series of Poker knew two things for sure when it had to face the 2020 WSOP. First, poker tournaments would not be safe for many, many months, no matter how low the numbers. Second, international flights would not be encouraged for a long time, either.
The WSOP’s announcement in April to postpone the 2020 summer series was not altogether unexpected, though it was disappointing for poker players around the world, nonetheless.
A few days into June, WSOP officials made another announcement. The WSOP 2020 Online was the answer to this year’s poker tournament dilemma. The entire series of 85 tournaments will be online.
US Players First

When the series gets underway on July 1, it will be happening on WSOP.com, a poker site available only to players in two American states – Nevada and New Jersey. Players only need to be located within the borders of those states and detected by geolocation technology to play. Those from anywhere in the world would be welcome to play…if there were international flights and no coronavirus concerns.
Even so, the US players will see one tournament per day from July 1-31.
We posted that schedule two weeks ago.
Rest of the World Up Next
That leaves 54 tournaments for the rest of the world, specifically anyone in countries approved by the GGPoker Network.

In the Asia-Pacific region, it seems that the Natural8 skin restricts players from Australia, the Philippines, and Taiwan in the Asia-Pacific region. Places like Cambodia, Vietnam, and New Zealand are not restricted. There may be some location validation issues with players traveling from other countries to play, however, so players should contact Natural8 before doing so.
The GGPoker Network tournaments will begin on July 19 and run through September 6. Most of the starting times are set to be convenient for players in EST or GMT – the Americas and Europe – but there are a handful of events designated for the Asian time zone.
