World College Poker typically organizes free online poker tournaments for college players only.

"World College Poker is thrilled to work with Poker Powher to expand their reach globally with the upcoming tourney in honor of Women’s History Month,” said co-founder of WCP Craig Tapscott. "Together, we can flip the table on this male-dominated game and inspire dedicated female players to leave their mark."
