Our mission
Fostering Excellence in Poker and Mind Sports
At WPF, our commitment knows no bounds. We’re on a mission to create the optimal environment for poker enthusiasts, players, behind-the-scenes professionals, sponsors, and poker’s dedicated fan base.
Poker as a Recognized Mind Sport
Poker is not just a game of cards; it’s a complex and dynamic mind sport that challenges players’ strategic thinking, psychological resilience, and decision-making prowess.
At WPF, our primary mission is to ensure that poker receives the recognition it truly deserves on the global stage. We firmly believe that poker is on par with other mind sports, such as chess and bridge, in terms of intellectual rigor and competitive spirit.
By advocating for the recognition of poker as a globally respected and recognized mind sport, we’re striving to provide a platform where players can showcase their skills and where the world can appreciate the depth and sophistication of this beloved game.
Mind Sports Growth
At WPF, we’re not just advocates for poker; we’re staunch supporters of all mind sports practices and competitions. We believe in the power of strategic thinking, intellectual competition, and the mental acumen that define mind sports.
Our mission extends beyond the poker table to foster a global community of strategic thinkers and mental athletes. We aim to create an environment where individuals from diverse backgrounds can come together to celebrate the beauty of mind sports, share their passion, and compete at the highest levels. By championing the growth of mind sports, we’re shaping a world where intellectual excellence is revered and celebrated.
Removing Barriers for Poker’s Global Recognition
In our pursuit of excellence, we understand that outdated laws and barriers can hinder the proper recognition and development of poker as a sport. WPF is committed to breaking down these barriers and advocating for a fair and open playing field.
Our team works tirelessly to dismantle outdated regulations that stand in the way of poker’s rightful place on the global stage. We stand alongside our stakeholders, including players, workforce, federations, and organizers, offering support and advocacy to ensure that poker-related activities can flourish without unnecessary obstacles.
Our mission is to create an environment where poker can thrive, where players can compete with integrity, and where the sport can continue to grow and evolve.
Inclusivity: Embracing All
Poker is not just a game of cards; it’s a universal language that transcends boundaries. At WPF, we firmly believe that poker should be a welcoming haven for all, regardless of age, background, or experience level. Our commitment to inclusivity runs deep, and we’re dedicated to creating a poker world where every individual is not only welcomed but valued.
Inclusivity means opening our arms wide to poker enthusiasts from every corner of the globe. It means removing any barriers that might deter someone from experiencing the thrill of the game. Whether you’re a seasoned pro, a newcomer eager to learn, or simply someone looking for a friendly card game, you have a place at our poker table.
We understand that diversity enriches the tapestry of poker, bringing together a mosaic of experiences, perspectives, and talents. Our goal is to foster an environment where players from different walks of life can come together to share their love for the game and build lasting connections.
In this spirit of inclusivity, we actively promote initiatives that ensure everyone feels comfortable and empowered to participate. We strive to create poker events and communities where all voices are heard, where everyone’s contributions are celebrated, and where the joy of the game is accessible to all.
By embracing inclusivity, we’re not just strengthening poker; we’re enriching our global poker family. Together, we’re shaping a poker world that reflects the diversity of the human experience, where every player, every fan, and every enthusiast is embraced, valued, and empowered.
The journey to elevate poker and mind sports to new heights is an inclusive one. Whether you’re a poker enthusiast, a mind sports advocate, or simply someone who believes in the power of strategic thinking, we invite you to join us on this mission.
Together, we’ll shape the future of mind sports, celebrate their achievements, and create an environment where intellectual excellence reigns supreme.
At WPF, our mission is clear: we’re not just playing the game; we’re changing it.
