Joining APL is easy. When you arrive at your local APL venue, you will be greeted by one of our friendly Tournament Directors. They'll sign you up free of charge, providing you with your official APL Membership Card and explain everything you need to know about how the game is played and how the league works.

We encourage our new players to watch our learn to play' video, viewable at any APL venue, but chances are you'll pick up plenty of game-play tips from APL staff and the friendly players at your table.

Once you've completed your first APL tournament, you can follow your progress right here at playAPL.com by keeping your eyes on the various leaderboards.

By scaling the heights of our APL Leaderboards, you give yourself the opportunity to win some incredible cash and prizes including seats into the APL Poker Tour, the world's only free poker tour.
