[WPT Global] Official Thread

Alex you do realize that you have been saying for months that XYZ will be done and a big update is coming and there's absolutely nothing done ever?

Difficult to take you guys seriously with anything.

The mobile app is horrible, the pc app is full of issues. No way to download hands, email support is incompetent, there's no promotions.

Where is the rake actually going?

Alex or Peter, am I correct to assume the Fall Festival Global Spins promo is also canceled?

Hi Alex. On what approximate date and what improvements will there be in the software?

Yes, but we'll make a plan for this promo ASAP.

I'm expecting the upgrade in the next 2-3 weeks, it is an upgrade to a foundational part of our software that should deliver significant performance and reliability improvements (there's a known issue right now, where the client uses more CPU and memory resources than expected).

WPT = AMATEURS

Have 5/10/20 and 10/20/40 been removed with no warning?

** Nevermind seems it was just a temporary glitch. Showing now.

This table starter promotion rakeback ain't working at all, lobby is now a ghost town of 1/x tables

Hi, a few questions about affiliates with WPT. Since your recent change has seen a few affiliates not being able to offer anything anymore.

Currently playing through an affiliate locks my account for normal dep/withdrawal and im only able to move funds in and out through transfers to my affiliate. If my affiliate were to ghost me, is there any way I can get help from WPT support to go back to the normal dep/with setting and be able to move my balance myself? (thus terminating the affiliate/any deals involved with them?).

Also if it comes to this, is there any side effects. For exampel me having to terminate my current account and create a new etc. I hope I at least will be able to access my balance and have it withdrawn to my bank.

Im new to this so just looking for reassurance before I keep playing. I really do enjoy WPT sofar. Thanks in advance.

hi alex, The JP or rake pre flop is not working the way you have been explained

in this hand we where 8 players at the table and Im on the BB

there is 7.5$ pre flop

I posted 2.5 including ante

OR made it 9 I 3bet and he folded

I should have won 14 but JP is getting there without the 20 bb

Hey guys, just a headsup on the burner account situation. I got a mail back from security and they were able to catch a bunch of them and confiscate their funds. They also sent me $500 which was very generous.

I would encourage other players to send in reports on this issue. I just take screenshots of accounts I suspect and send them into security. I know it's tedious but we would all be better off if these accounts were just eradicated. It has to be a bunch of hassle opening new accounts every day so we just need to make it not worth that hassle. The last week or so I am seeing less of them so it seems to be working.

Are most of them playing 100bb?

It's taken no matter what when pot is 20bb total even if they fold.

Let's say one limp, you iso raise at 10bb, it's already 20.5bb total in the pot, he folds and voila, 1bb is taken away. So pretty much 99% of pots get the 1bb jackpot taken

I wouldn't think that is a reliable metric as it would be easy for them to alter their buyins. What they have in common is the following:
1) New accounts with generally fewer than 1k hands played.
2) Playing one table.
3) They have the stats of a standard aggressive reg. I heard that some of them will play lower stakes to distort this but most of them don't bother.
4) Another thing I noted is that they sometimes leave the table after getting stacked. I'd expect this is because they don't have the funds in their account and want to keep risk as low as possible.

These guys will have a very significant impact on the win rates of pros and will amplify the loss rates of recs. I don't know how prevalent the problem is outside of 2k and 4k.

Alex said múltiple times that jp fee Is 1bb when you win More than 20bb, in this case Is half a BB AND in bigger pots they take 1bb

This seems wrong

I think I asked about this and I have never got an answer...This half of BB JP is the thing since I play on WPTG (~ 1 year)

When do the MTT leaderboard payouts get sent? 😃

Bunch of new account every days.

They know us well because we only play 1 account, they see all the tables, they also have the rakeback.

What a unfair situation.

Yes, we can support you. You can also request to be untagged from an affiliate.

Jimbo - I really want to thank you for this because a lot has changed since my last post on the subject. For complete transparency, my last post said 'Our security team has investigated, and continues to investigate new reports, but so far does not believe that 'burner accounts' are a significant problem.'

We got it wrong and thanks to Jimbo's persistence and the other posts in this thread we were able to uncover some users that we believe were creating new accounts to try to avoid the FairGame system (all accounts from Asia).

Now that we've made this progress thanks to your help, our focus is on getting better at stopping it from happening in the first place and I'm confident that we'll be able to minimise this problem fairly quickly. In the meantime - please continue to send any suspicions you have to our team at [email]customercare@wptglobal.com[/email]. Thanks

This is correct. Again in the spirit of transparency, some full disclosure. This feature is, unfortunately, not documented and we've been figuring it out by looking at the code, asking people who should know, and testing it ourselves. This is our best understanding of the feature:

Which leads me to the following:

Honestly - I can't say for sure whether this is true or not. I will ask for it to be tested. To be honest I'm kind of embarrassed about this, but I'm working with what I have.

Please see my comment above. Of course, when people get caught trying this (which thanks to the help of posters in this thread, we will now do much more often), we will seize their funds. These consequences combined with better detection are likely to reduce this problem pretty quickly.

No worries, thank you for working to get it sorted.

Fairly new to WPT_Global and ran into an issue I think is new for me. Not sure if I've played in the past with other sites open so I can't confirm this as recent.

When I have DriveHud2 open for games on WPN/Pokerstars where it is allowed. I can open WPT and pass the fairplay check. When I go to register or sit at a table I am then hit with a warning about using a HUD (paraphrased) .

I am in no way trying to use the HUD for WPT games, and in the past have been able to have my HUD launched for sites that allow it and play at the same time on sites that don't allow it. I am trying to figure out if this is standard - No HUD allowed for other sites while playing WPT.

If so Ideally this would change.

This is the case for 100%. I remember I asked my affiliate how those JP works, but he couldn't answer ~ 1 year ago

this is true 100%. I used to play PKA before WPT and this thing with segregate tables was since from then, i have a video with this thing so ...

""Let's start with benefits for regular players - a skilled winning regular on WPT Global, playing in our most popular type of game, wins on average…

20.65 bb/100. ""

Alex i can see your blog very funny today !!! I think is better to say, guys our idea wasnt the best and we are going back to normal rakeback and no "ai system". Recognize you made a mistake give you a better chance to succeed.

im looking for the rng third party independant certification where can i find it?

The tickets are actually only for some live event sat? ;o I could have sworn I got a $22 one before that could be used for events online...
