20 Years of WAPL Poker!
This week, Western Australian Poker League is celebrating 20 years since we started the pub and club poker scene in Perth — and we'd love you to join us at the tables.
Since 2006, WAPL has proudly brought players together for friendly, professional, great-value poker nights across WA.
To celebrate our 20th birthday, each player will receive a commemorative WAPL gift bag, courtesy of Sweet Devotion:
Join us to help celebrate on:
Sunday 24th – Scarborough Bowling Club @ 1pm
Tuesday 26th – Yanchep Sports & Social Club @ 6pm
Wednesday 27th – Innaloo Sports Club @ 6pm
Whether you've been with us since the early days or you're brand new to WAPL, come down, play some cards, catch up with the crew, and help us celebrate two decades of WA poker history.
Thank you to every player, venue, staff member, supporter, and poker friend who has been part of the journey.
20 years strong — and still dealing.
See you at the tables, and thank you for your continued support ❤
WAPL – Western Australian Poker League
