Hi 2+2ers,
Welcome to the official WPT Global thread!
WPT Global makes poker players’ dreams come true in associati
In Asian skins called PokerKing, players can note colors and some words as well. This is a huge disavantage for WPT players.
2 weeks notice at the bottom of a random 2+2 post is a grotesque way to handle this news. This is a 4 figure per month loss (or more) to a lot of pros.
Who do you think are the main customer base for affiliates?
Your affiliates are incentivised to get players onto your site, not consider if they are winning players or not. Otherwise, why would they be incentivised to push them to your site and not another?
How is an affiliate going to adjust a deal to anything but zero when you aren't paying rakeback as per the intial agreement?
As others have mentioned, rakeback is a big reason why a lot of people are playing on the site. You are about to nuke your pool, or lead people down the road of burner accounts. This is evidently bad for the site, fun players and pros alike.
Of course, and this is the trade off for them not taking their business elsewhere due to limitations enforced by your site re: software that can be used.
You can't have your cake and eat it. Your company policy makers should realise this is a fundamental part of why the player pool plays on your site (the juice is worth the squeeze), but whoever is handling the company direction is just seeking short term windfall in the shape of "let's just take all the pros rakeback". It is an awful look and does not instill confidence from your player base that WPTG is a trustworthy place to leave your funds.
All these promos and rewards sound good on paper but rarely translate to anything resembling satisfying for pros, and are nothing but some bells and whistles for the fun players. Pros will likely hate it. Fun players won't care about it and WPTG pockets the difference.
Pros keep the action going 24/7 and create rake for the site. They want rakeback they can set their clock to each month.
Anything else is just an angle for immediate short term profit from WPTG, and giving out less money long term. We've seen other sites try this out and it never ends well for them.
It is very well known now that once you are tagged as a winning player you get segregated.
When starting games previously they would fill up fast. Now my table selection is limited the only tables I start up rarely fill up, or I can only see 1 table running with 8 regs. I have tried in all time slots of the day since my tables got limited and it's the same every time so it is clearly not a "table configuration" issue. I have numerous friends who are regs who have ran into the same issue once they were long standing winners on the site, and many many posters here have advised you of the same league of issues. Not one of them had the issue initially once they signed up.
Making out an internal policy to be a bug is egregious and again does not instill confidence in WPTG as a trustworthy site.
I sincerely hope WPTG will review their stance on these matters for all parties concerned.
MeeowthAgreed. Maybe he just went on vacation with GoldenTurtle and GoldenTurtlo
