Request to update the History section

Hello editors of the APT Wikipedia page,

I am Matthew Ooi, Media Coordinator of the Asian Poker Tour. I understand that due to Wikipedia’s conflict of interest policy, I should not edit this page directly. However, I would like to suggest a factual update to the "History" section based on independent sources, as well as new subsections for clarity and future addition of information about the APT.

The current text states under the History section: The Asian Poker Tour was founded in 2006 by Capital Events Pte – a company based in Singapore.

In 2008 APT was acquired by AsianLogic but Capital Events Pte will continue to run the tour, which recently added the Korean Professional Poker Tour and remains a shareholder. The agreement will see AsianLogic manage the running of the APT's online and land-based tournaments, as well as taking control of the APT's brand and URLs giving the company access to the APT database, which it hopes will help drive players to its poker sites.[5]

In June 2022, APT Events Private Limited bought the Asian Poker Tour is set to expand its presence outside of Asia.[6] APT veteran Lloyd Fontillas will, however, continue in his capacity as General Manager & Executive Tournament Director, with added responsibilities.[7]

I suggest updating this to:

Old Era

The Asian Poker Tour was founded in 2006 by Capital Events Pte – a company based in Singapore.

In 2008 APT was acquired by AsianLogic but Capital Events Pte will continue to run the tour, which recently added the Korean Professional Poker Tour and remains a shareholder. The agreement will see AsianLogic manage the running of the APT's online and land-based tournaments, as well as taking control of the APT's brand and URLs giving the company access to the APT database, which it hopes will help drive players to its poker sites.[5]

New Era

In June 2022, APT Events Private Limited bought the Asian Poker Tour is set to expand its presence outside of Asia.[6] APT veteran Lloyd Fontillas will, however, continue in his capacity as General Manager & Executive Tournament Director, with added responsibilities.[7]

APT Championship

The Asian Poker Tour (APT) has introduced the APT Championship (APTC), a newly established series finale set to conclude the 2025 season. The APTC Main Event is a freezeout tournament featuring, also boasting the largest guaranteed prize pool in the Tour's history at USD 5 million.

(Source: https://www.pokernews.com/news/2025/01/5m-gtd-apt-championship-announced-season-2025-47730.htm)

This change uses the same references for the distinction between Old Era and New Era. We plan to provide factual and sourced information to further update the history section moving forward.

As for the APT Championship, this announcement is a significant milestone in the Tour's history and will be a constant feature moving forward each season, and thus this section will be updated with results for winners for each season. Of course, do suggest any edits if necessary.

We hope this request reaches you and we appreciate the time taken to consistently edit and update our Wikipedia page.

Best regards,

Matthew Ooi
