Our Mission

Why We Exist

The World Poker Federation exists to establish poker as a respected mind sport, recognized by institutions, protected by clear standards, and open to anyone with the will to play.

Our mission is to unite the poker world and give it the professional foundation every major sport already takes for granted.

For too long, poker grew without a home. We are that home.
