[WSOP PA] Unofficial Thread

Figured we needed one of these.

Just installed the client and made an account but have not yet deposited. Not planning to play during the soft-trial.

The software is more modern and very different from WSOP PA and NJ. Some good additions like auto-time bank, customizable bet slider, and big blind chip view.

Seems like there is no local HH so HM/PT won't work. Game selection also is not a thing or at least not a typical lobby like other sites. You can open one game at a time from a menu where you choose your format/stake. Unless I'm missing some alternate lobby view. Will make game selection far more difficult.

Tons of geolocation issues in the past week, though strangely it works on my phone using the same wifi. Support is useless. Anyone else having similar issues and/or solution? I have no idea how their geolocation cannot detect my computer but can detect my phone when they are using the same wifi lol

Do you by chance has Service Electric as you ISP? A group of players with Service Electric have had crippling disconnection issues with all the PA poker sites for about a week now. Most likely some sort of geolocation issue with Service Electric. However, during the disconnection periods i have NOT been able to access via phone app (although I've only tried the PokerStars app during down time). Typically 2 or 3 disconnections per hour, lasting about 1 to 5 minutes each time.

No it's Verizon. I had one issue with stars connection this week, but overall PS and MGM have been fine and it's just wsop that has been problematic.

Do you get the "please restart your client" error on PS and it disconnects you (mid hand)? I just got that one today, though I think I've only gotten it one other time recently.


Whats up with this site and their slow withdraw times and withdraw issues?

9/10 times I request a withdraw from WSOP site it takes them 24 hours or more to even acknowledge the withdraw then another 1-2 days maybe to process it and send it to PayPal.

I mean it's not THE worst, I remember waiting like 2 months for a check from Bovada years ago , but still I expect more from a heavily regulated site in 2024 linked to a regulated licensed casino.

But still some of the delays include:

- One time they froze account and a withdraw because I made a deposit then later withdrew a bunch of money , they asked me to provide an explanation!

- One time they just cancelled the withdraw for no reason and no reply.

- Most recent time it took over 30 hours to acknowledge the withdraw request, then asked for copy of an old credit card to "review and verify" and still waiting - had verified my account months ago!

And half the time their emails go to my spam folder and you have to click Deposit to access Withdraw on the software.

Pokerstars delivers withdraw to PayPal within minutes and even Bovada with crypto generally sends funds in a few hours!

Not the worst site and great to play for WSOP rings and bracelets but you'd think the WSOP would make sure they're putting their name on a good service site.


new updated table look is AWFUL.

Everything blends in together.

Came here to post this. Already sent an email to support.

The ability to not change color of player names/stack sizes.

Red font only? What ****ing idiot gets paid for these ideas. I bet some study shows that red induces more action or makes people more agro, it's also awful look at.

It's hard to put into words how bad it is.

But at least they upgraded the throwables and brought it emoticons that were previously only allowed on mobile to desktop.

I don't even understand the themes,
choose your background looks like checkers , nope a table with a maroon gradient with red font right by it?

888caption works for changing colors of stack sizes.


I'm close to just not playing on this site. The grey on black bet/fold buttons are just so so bad, and the red writing looks similar to what stuff looked like before I got lasik and had to squint to read something. Whoever designed it should be fired.


I'm not in PA but just started using the new WSOP software in the 3 state merge.
I've been using this software for 2 days. Is it as bad as it seems or will I get used to it?
This would not have been good software in 2008. Beyond that, I have a constant lag when using it.


I usually only play 3-4 tournaments on there a day, but I've yet to get used to it. Not sure I will.

I know all I'm doing is complaining ITT but my god I hate it

You get used to it...kinda

Not offering options to change font but you can be 17 different types of animal avatar, ok.

New rant.

The constant lag??

Desktop pc is 8700k , 64gb ram, ssd , dedicated GPU - The app freezes/crashes multiple times throughout the day. Just played 1-2 hrs crashed twice, had chrome, civilization 5, pokerstars, etc all open. CPU sub 20%, ram usage non existant. I did have 6-8 tables open and I feel that more tables, or update has increased crashing or at least my frustration so I am more inclined to rant about it.

My laptop is a 1260p(12th gen mobile whatever), 16gb ram, ssd, integrated graphics - holy **** - I swear this thing is going to explode, probably because of no graphics card? Again cpu and ram usage are not high but I load 3 tables and I get tables whiting/greying out, lagging etc, and then like every 1/3 times the app just freezes and crashes... This is plugged in. Maybe I overshot with my expectations of a 12th gen best "mobile" chip instead of the H or HQ or HX or whatever the more serious laptop processor is from intel.

Probably because it is so graphically intensive? No idea. It's worse with chrome open but cpu and ram usage are not unusual or even strained according to task manager.


The mobile app is quite excellent. Never crashes, transfers to and from desktop smoothly.


New update is appreciated.


Agreed, new update is much better. They pushed this quick too. Appreciate it if anyone reads this thread!!


is it really on one Caesars rewards tier credit for every 50 rewards points ($25 in rake)?

Did it get severely nerfed? I used to easily get diamond paying in NJ a few years ago

I’ve had the same issues with them regarding withdrawal time lines. I’ve been using their site for multiple years, everything is verified, etc. I cashed out just under $5k a week ago using PayPal. They only issued a partial pay out (less than I withdrew by ~$1k) and a week later I’m still waiting for my funds. I do not have any pending deposits.

Leaving withdrawals pending for multiple days in hopes that people will reverse their cash outs is such terrible business. In 2024, it’s not difficult to move money. Whenever I deposited in the past, the money is out of my bank account within a day. Now I’m waiting more than a week to get money through PayPal from them.

I also withdrew funds via bank wire so we will see how long that takes. At this point, it seems a week is their norm. I’m going to at least let the PA Gamblimg Control Board know about the issues.


BetMGM and Pokerstars pay out in minutes to an hour or two. They are equal or superior to WSOP in just about every other metric. If you want to play regulated poker in PA choose one of those two options instead of WSOP, and they will improve or die.


I no longer live in PA but I remember wondering why the WSOP withdrawals were like molasses compared to the other two sites.

At the time I wondered if it might be that because WSOP is the only PA poker site without an online casino, maybe they just don't have the same liquidity as BetMGM & PokerStars.

I am waiting two weeks now for my pay. They haven't even PROCESSED it yet. I am playing on WSOP.MI. I have sent numerous emails and all they kept telling me that is my account needs to be verified again, my cards need to be verified again and PayPal needs to have proof of screen shot ownership. I did all those, mind you my account has been verified when i Opened my account like a freaking year ago. It's insane, Ive sent emails every other day with just them responding basically saying, "We have processed your payment." "You need to verify your card used.", "We have forwarded your inquiry to someone in the relevant department." Like holy ****, its mind boggling that Pokerstars and Betmgm have instant withdrawals. But WSOP doesn't. I would advise to never play on this **** site.


The series PLO tournament offering last two months has been nerfed.

They offered $215 regular PLO & $415 PKO in July
August only $415 PKO
and again, now
only $415 PKO

Why remove the $215 PLO that never had overlay because people actually wanted to play it?

Spicy. I also play on WSOP in Michigan. Slow withdrawals, but I always get them. Did one this past Friday and it was approved today.
