[WPT] Unofficial Thread for WPT Poker

Is this site legit? The brand has a trustworthy reputation because of the live events, but along with the usual rigtard crazies that you can safely ignore, there are numerous entirely plausible complaints of no-pay and deposit problems as well: https://www.trustpilot.com/review/www.wp...

yes its a legit site, a lot of friends and customers and myself have played for over a year with no issues.

Approximately how many bb/100 or STR/100 rake are paid in 2550100 cny (3,5/7/14 usd)?

They have rake paid in the info section of the website

I just have to say that i haven`t had any problems with WPT Global or WD.

Yeah had to verify my account of course (which I did already when I registered my account)

Made WD this sunday and was approved after 6h... Also WDs in the past never any issue. Max 24h.

Thank, I know, but I'd like to know how many bb/100 (best straddle/100 ) really pay por play in 2550100. For example in GG I rake paid about to 7bb/100 in NL1000 playing 29/21/8

I question whether these people actually read the T & C. I did. Spent about 1hour reading every rule they have before d/l their software and signing up.

My experience was exactly what WPT stated. I deposited $1205 USD on 2024/02/05. Funds credited 4 hrs later.
I received $1200 in bonus poker money that is released in increments.
I also received the following, as stated on their site.
2 x $5 WPT Global Spins Tickets-won one lost one
2 x $5 WPT Passport Satellite Tickets-unused
2 x $110 Sunday Slam Tickets-unused
2 x $10 WPT Global Spins Tickets-lost both
2 x $50 WPT Global Spins Tickets-unused
1 x $25 WPT Global Spins Ticket-lost
200 free spins on one slot machine. Won $113 which was immediately credited to my account

On 2024/02/06 I started playing for 10 hrs. After playing thru the mandatory $1200 as stated by the T&C, I was up $1094.
I initiated a withdrawal of $1200 @ 830pm. To my surprise the funds were received by my financial institution @ 2:45am this morning.

Everyone's experience will vary.

If i may suggest before you accuse any site of being rigged or cheating, look for factual information. People stating this site is rigger or that site has bots does not mean it is real.

I cannot give factual information regarding one site to the next whether bots are infecting that site or not,

I can say that I believe Super users are rare. I can say I believe their are bots are on every poker site.

I do notice when reputable poker players, such as Doug Polk, accuse sites of supers users or bots, he presents factual information allowing you to research this information yourself.

On a different note. Does any notice their CPU runs @ max turbo speed on WTP Global?
My CPU runs roughly 25C hotter and @ 5433MHZ consistently. This is even when the lobby is open. No games.

yeah I also noticed that. Somehow my cpu are working actively when opening wptg software. For sure, it does not happen with other sites software.
It seems bit suspicious like the software are doing some shitty things behind, like mining. Or its just made teribbly.

WPTG allowed to use hud/converter? I dont get it why you risk the ban for hud.

Thanks sonnychiba2 for confirming what I suspected.

I played for 7 hrs. yesterday and won $1500. I requested a cash out of this amount and had to go thru the usual process of verifying my identity.
Read the T&C carefully. If you agree to the T&C , they are allowed to share your private information with other unspecified parties.
I hesitantly proceeded. Within 24hrs I was verified and received my $1500.

Today I will play the rest of my tickets.

Tomorrow, I will research why my CPU boils on this site.

Not sure why my CPU fries on this site.

72-75C is not normal temperature for a poker site. This is with no tables open and standing the lobby.

Gaming @ max settings this temp would be normal.

Others sites max 55c with 4-9 tables running.

Things that make you go Hmmmmmm.

Anyone have any decent sized cash game hh sample they could share? I'd like to analyze board run outs as my experience so far has been bizarre, and while I understand that it is likely just variance it's got to the point where I'm not so certain anymore.

For reference, I play hs cash up to 10knl and I've put in a big amount of hands over the last few months. I've seen an absurd amount of coolers and quads/straight flushes; both in my favor and others, including making 2 straight flushes and 3 quads in the last 24 hrs(using both hole cards), which seems incredibly improbable. I've also spoken with other hs cash game regs who felt the rng was off.

Again I realize this is likely just variance, but I'd like to get some peace of mind.

Im PLO reg lately I've been getting heavily crushed at 10/20/40(10). I hope it's just variance and that there isn't a collusion that I'm not noticing

any PLO reg here?

Well guys, I'm a spin & go 25s reg and I feel that variancie as well, losing 100BI in 1000 spins, not usual in my history.

One question ... I want to play here but i play at Bodog with Holdem Manager 2 too at the same time ... Is there any problem if i open and run HM2 while playing at WPT?

Hello. I've been playing since Aug '23. RNG def feels off. Everything you've described about jackpots real for sure.

The thing that's getting me recently is for the past 3 months, I'm on an absolutely insane DS (worst in 10years as pro in terms of AIEV). If my opponent has a shred of equity, I'm losing more often than not repeatedly. It appears that if there is a 'new' account (under 10kh played) they have some kind of 'protection' where they can't really lose many allins. Feels like anyone with a VPIP over 60, AND they've played less than 10kh' just has some kind of 'magnet'

Has anyone else noticed this?

I've been forced to move down to 5/10/20 for my mental game, feeling like an absolute chump playing vs guys who seem to not know how to even play, just making sets vs whales and losing vs underpair AIOTF (BDF just hits in this situation 20+ times already).

When I first signed up through agent I made 2 Royals in 1st 5kh (lol) and a ridiculous amount of quads. Felt fishy even when I was winning. I don't get that RNG now, and I don't hold in allins.

I feel like any 200-500nl reg could make 20bb/100+ EASILY in these games. So DS's of like 10000bbs+ (50BIs) should be quite rare despite the nature of the games

P.S. as a warning, do not get it in with your premiums vs an account lelesom

You will see him GII for stacks with hands like 77, KQs as UTG opener vs your big squeeze and 5bj. He has never folded preflop in situations like this, and I've never won an allin vs him with my overpairs etcetc. There's over 20 accounts like this. Very hard to win allins vs them.

He's playing 57/30 and can't lose a hand, because he's played only 7.8kh

Been reluctant to leave this site as I've never seen anything like it in my career, and I understand variance is just so high in this ante format vs wide ranges, but I'm seeing patterns now. Usually make big hand on flop/turn and lose to river in miracle fashion (feels like it wants me to start buying insurance - I'd certainly be a hell of a lot better off financially if I did that), but also new players making a LOT of quads+

There are also many many regs who have 'unrestricted' accounts, i.e. they can see tables that will be disappeared from the lobby for you. I can only start 'good' tables in this fashion. They will disappear from 'my games' if certain whale accounts join, but many 'good reg' accounts who have player 100k+ hands can see and join them.

I have absolutely no idea how WPT discerns who gets access to these 'god' accounts. Obviously extremely unfair

I asked other players who played here much longer than me - it was a resounding no. Far too risky and accounts do get banned

Indeed. I definitely am starting to feel quite manic lol

It's so hard to quantify variance for games like this, where there's antes, you're allin a lot, and villains can have unexpected ATC combos. As well as villains making unexpected call offs with extremely low equity hands - giving you a ton of EV with your value hands, but also a small chance of losing, that you very rarely see on other sites.

Decided to deposit on there to take advantage of a free $50 offered when deposit plus other incentives. Soon as I deposited I also sent in proof identity as well as proof of residence so when I did decide to cash out the process would be faster. Well I sent in my documents 6 days ago, have heard anything back and today I can't join any games as it says "you cannot join this room due to security reasons" This is what I get from straying away from legitimate sites? I thought it ok since it's associated with WPT. Hopefully the nearly $1,000 I made doesn't get stolen from me.

I have to agree with most of what you say, RNG has to be off jackpots happens way to often... and there are some very strange things happening for sure

on top of that I have to say that for the first time in a year playing there I have a strong suspicion about a bot account

found two chinese players boosting their stats playing heads up each other

they where playing super fast just folding each other 100% of the time... they went over 200 hands without a showdown or 3 bet despite the fact that both of them have the same stats around 55/29

when other players arrive they insta sit out and keep going on other table
