Calling all card playing primates, sign ups  for the Bored Ape Yacht Club’s first ever Bored Ape Poker Classic open this Thursday at 1 P.M. EST!

ApeFest 2025 is two months away, but the time to secure your seat for the club’s members only poker tournament is later this week.

“The Bored Ape Poker Classic hits The Venetian Poker Room on Sunday, Oct 26 at 10am PT,” the club tweeted this afternoon. “Sign-ups open Thursday. Seats are limited. Only Apes with an ApeFest Vegas ticket can sign up and play. Deposit: $50 to hold your spot (refunded at check-in). Buy-in: $250 at the cage.”

 

 

The Bored Ape Poker Classic promises to be anything but boring. Community members will compete for the title of poker champ around the swam, the prize purse, and a one of a kind World Series of Poker inspired tournament bracelet designed by BAYC member CryptoJeweler, according to Yuga Labs CEO Garga.

"Working with @cryptojeweler  on a 1 of 1 WSOP-style bracelet for the winner of the BAYC Poker Classic very excited to see who takes it home," he tweeted over the weekend. "But now I need to learn to play Poker well."

 

As the Bored Ape Gazette previously reported, the idea of a BAYC members only poker tourney was first announced by Yuga Labs Co-Founder Gordon Goner in July and could become an annual tradition!

 

The Bored Ape Gazette will continue to follow this week’s Bored Ape Poker Classic sign ups and will be reporting live from the event this October. Stay tuned for updates!
