[WPT Global] Official Thread

No, it's a bug, this has nothing to do with the fair game system. You are supposed to be always be able to sit headsup or as a third player even if your tagged pro.
Also happen's only at 10/20/40 for me
sometimes I can't even sit an empty table because of that bug.

Alex, this bug has been happening for over 3 months btw and reported many times here - WPT is very slow at fixing this.

I’ll be honest I’m super confused at the decision to remove rakeback to regs, rake was already super high in bb/100 yet the site was growing very quickly

now you guys choose to shoot yourself in the foot for (hopefully) short term profit? it is such an incredibly greedy decision this is beyond me

My understanding is that yes, Player C will get rakeback here (since you specify that Player A / B left the table). I am not 100% sure what would happen if they didn't leave the table and just didn't play a hand, but will try to find out

Not shooting at you here but now knowing this when it's 100% obvious that it should be show's how unorganized WPT team is and how bad the software is regarding this kind of stuff.

I think you guys should work on fixing all the basic issues on the site before adding additional stuff that your team in unsure of.

Reduce the rake 2-4handed to give a chance for regulars that really wants to play and get games going.

I find it very hypocrit that you guys are raking a ridiculous amount 2-4 handed knowing it's not sustainable while saying that you want to promote starting games.

It's either you accept everyone will bumhunt heavily on your site and be predatory around whales or you make the games beatable for regulars.

If your promotion is that the first two players to start the games get 20% rakeback on the table - don't you think those two players should play rake free as well ?

Alex, at 6max you can see some tables and some not. why is this? the other day a rec was playing a reg and I tried sitting, didnt allow me, and then another reg was able to sit. while I was still unable to. and AFter I couldnt even find the table on the lobby. why does this happen?
ty

you will most likely be categorized as a professional and will have restricted access to most of the games when another reg with a fish is already playing.

This will be due to the fact the other reg has somehow cheated the fair play system, and is marked as a VIP

but they say it shouldnt work that way...

I have screen shots on my phone I will post them later, many times Im not allowed to play HU and its not a bug for a certain stake because its on diferent stake... also I have seen many tables with 4 or even 6 recreationals and Im not allowed to play, but at the same time Im allowed to play with 5 regs on other table...

also the other day I was about to sit 3 handed wiht a reg and a recreational, and one recreational beat me for the sit and suddenly I wasnt allowed to play... that guy just cant be tagged as a HSP he was a 40/5 or something like that...

so clearly the software dont work the way they are saying

We have a $220 BI 12 seat guaranteed feeder to the $2,100 starting in about 6 hours, with many smaller feeders running for that.

We also have a $530 BI 10 seat guaranteed feeder for today's 17:00 ET $3,500. This starts at 16:05 and will have some smaller feeders running to it.

Hello Alex,

I’m curious about the affiliate commission changes and have two Questions

1. Are there now cases where regs, who aren’t tagged as High-Skilled but have a solid win rate (e.g., 10 big blinds per 100 hands), end up earning more than pros? These pros might have higher winrate but no longer receive the 40% rakeback. If so, doesn’t this go against your intentions?

2. Additionally, wouldn’t it make sense for High-Skilled Players to widen their preflop range slightly to avoid detection, while still dominating postflop?

Hi Alex

After the day wpt stop paying affiliate commission for HSP, so many reg create new accounts and play. I can easily recognize them (through their play style, their playing time and of course the way they bum hunt) because I battle against them everyday. Some of them try to avoid AI detection by playing at micro and mid stake at the same time (they go all in with any two cards at micro table to fake stats too). Can your AI detects them? And do you have any plans to stop this problem? I try to report them through [email]customercare@wptglobal.com[/email] but nothing happens. Please check these accounts, some of them may have the same IP with their old accounts: mrblue1986 (kemsu01), brave88 (kitmepro88), Latini68 (Nina218). Hope to see new improvements in our games.

Thank you!

Our final day of the Summer Festival is a big one with over $2,000,000 GTD! Some more flights will run for our multi day events, before the Day 2s start. Listed below are the larger feeders that will run today (and there are many feeders to most of these too). You can begin to qualify for our $1,000,000 GTD $3.5K WPT Championship for $0.11!

I got a ticket for the 220 championship that was given me as a present I guess, I didnt receive any mail or communication via client. Unfortunately there are no flights anymore, can it be converted to another ticket please?

There is a flight currently running for the $220 Summer Festival Championship and it can be used for that

Actually late reg was already finished

No, there was one more flight

We're making a couple of changes that will be interesting for many of you posting in this thread, effective today.

1. Table Starter cashback is being increased to 40% for High Stakes games (everything in the high stakes tab of the client, which is 100/200/400 bomb CNY and 25/50/100 USD and higher).

2. Affiliate commission is being made more generous - details will be shared with all affiliates this week.

1. I suppose that is possible in theory, if such a player has a rakeback deal through an affiliate, but such cases would be pretty rare.

2. No, this wouldn't help them to avoid detection.

I've addressed this in recent posts, please see above.

Why do you guys insist on making the same mistakes that killed so many other poker platforms only to then ''fix'' the problem a month later?

Then here come Wpt global, ghost town with all 1/8 2/8 table.

No game almost have been running at those stakes sincd the changes.

Sadly, this change wont do much.

Yeah, I dont get this. Why don't they focus their business on majority of their customers? (i.e. Low to Mid-stakes cash grinders) Its so confusing how, they're pouring money into parts of the platform that majority of the players don't know or care at all. The Festival for example was a huge L for them, I checked the overlay for the 3.5k ME they lost a cool 236k pre rake and post rake still lost 170k. Same went for the $220 PKO lost 55k post rake with all the overlays.

Poorly ran company who thinks they need to reinvent the wheel when all they had to do is learn from the mistakes made by literally everyone before them.

The only person happy about this change at highstakes are the 1-3 crushers that hold the lobby.

Nobody will play them even with 40% RB
When a fish join the crusher get 40% RB and rest of the table Nothing

Haha incredible useless decision by wpt.

Even the the current table starter crap is a joke, they forcing regs to either HU each other, play tables with no RB or have like 10 empty tables open sitted. It sucks because us grinders want to put hours in and when i look at the lobby with 5 tables all 1/8, I just want to close the app because I don't want to get rape in rake playing a reg HU or be the 6th guy sitting there and wait hours to fire one table.
