[WPT Global] Official Thread
Hi 2+2ers,
Welcome to the official WPT Global thread!
WPT Global makes poker players’ dreams come true in associati
Good morning, Alex,
I understand that the community is currently dissatisfied with the recent changes. However, I believe we need to allow a few months to truly evaluate whether these changes will yield positive results.
I have a question and a suggestion regarding the rake.
Question: How do you plan to allocate the rake that will no longer be distributed to the players?
Suggestion: I suggest reconsidering the distribution of funds to affiliates. Instead of continuing to provide affiliates with a perpetual commission for referring players, it might be more beneficial to redirect a portion of this money to the players who actively spend time in the room. Perhaps setting a time or financial limit on affiliate commissions could ensure that more of the rakeback is awarded to the players themselves.

This is good advice, I saw in Vietnam many agent scams money from player(rakeback) or at least not transparent about rakeback.
Hi Alex, I was curious as to whether the decision makers have any idea what HU winrates look like? If they did they'd know that the regs starting tables and generating action for your site, are looking at a best case scenario winrate of around -15bb/100 (After the 20% rb). How can they possibly justify this?
Screen recording is fine, screen sharing (e.g. Teamviewer) is not. Your best bet is Windows' free built-in screen recorder:
Hello , Alex !
For safety purposes i decided to clarify once again that "screen recording is fine" with WPT Global support and their answer surprised me :
"The customer should not install any software so it cannot be detected by the security team because this may lead his account to be banned. But screen recording is fine you can do it using mobile phone only without installing any software" .
Do they suggest me to record my full poker session holding my phone in my hand and recording my monitor on phone's camera? . It's insanaly uncomfortable and my phone is connected to my PC all the time with mobile internet turned on. If my main internet goes down, i immediatelly switch to mobile internet in several clicks.
I use windows 10 and really don't want to upgrade to 11 , since when everything works fine it's best not to experiment and upgrade windows , because you never know what can go bad after this upgrade and how many programs will you have to reinstall\reconfigure.
Windows 10 have in-built recodring (windows key+alt+G) , but unfortunatelly, it can only record the whole screen ( which has 4k resulition in my case and will have huge file size in the end) .
I found this (
) program for screen recording. It's free and , most imporatnly, it can record just a selected area of the screen and not the whole screen. I am allowed to use it ?

Of course it's fine. Use OBS studio it's much better.
Honestly whoever answers customercare for wpt are surprisingly ignorant about everything, it's always total nonsense and except answering fast it's always ******ed answers from them (they are just lost/incompetent)
Gamesecurity email support on the other hand is doing a good job from my experience

You should use OBS and streaming to Youtube(make it private), then you can watch again your poker season easily.
Not yet unfortunately, it's scheduled for the release after next so I suspect it will not be released for another few weeks. I share your disappointment, and I know that a lot of players are waiting for this upgrade, but obviously we can't release it until our team has worked out the kinks.

That's a strange answer, please let me know who responded and i'll follow up.
Any software that simply records the screen is fine. Sharing your screen is not. Windows 10 also has built in screen recording functionality: https://www.zdnet.com/article/how-to-scr...

Standard answer.
like 75% of the answers I get from customer care are pure non sense always. I usually get a good answer when it's forwarded eventually to the right team.
Whoever runs "customercare" need an extended training regarding the company's and how poker work's
Thanks for getting back to me Alex. Just regarding the burner accounts, I'll say the following:
(i) I think it would be helpful to check the winrates of existing regulars and recreationals (i.e. old accounts) and compare how they have performed over the last two months compared to out they have performed historically. Please filter for NL4k and NL2k. If you are looking at the entire pool irrespective of stakes, it will skew the results and I'd expect the issue to be primarily at those levels.
(ii)
Hi Alex, do you have any feedback on the above? Have there been any developments with regards to finding a solution for this? I still see on average about two of these burner accounts per table. Thanks.
More rake less RB is better?

Wptalex says a lot of these accounts are bonus abuser but i dont believe it, you need 10's of thousands of hands to unblock the welcome bonus and all these accounts that we see have a few hundreds hands and have all the latest players ID
the latest players id's are 6 884 000 and it will keep going, they gonna keep having the lastest ones as weeks and months goes on
This makes no sense to increase rake in 50 100. Its not even listed as highstakes and RB is only 20% for table starters. And for those who join later they get absolutely rekt from 0 RB.
I am pretty sure that's the point. Nobody would make this system if they weren't trying to make sure everybody loses.
Is there an approximate date for a change to be made in the room so that our played hands can be downloaded?
Legit robbery. “Good news RB is now 40% for table starting in 100/200/400+ but we are increasing rake from 4% to 5% in 50 100 200+” the hell is this? 50 100 200 is the highest stake game that runs daily and they chose to increase rake yet kept everything the same.
Not sure if you saw but they also increased from 1 straddle to 1.5 straddle.
Probably a 60%~ rake increase.
You add the rakeback removed and its now what, a 200% rake increase in a few weeks?
CROOKS.
Alex,
Best rake, they mean...highest rake?
Or what do they really mean by "best" I'm very curious
As long as I’m concerned, in most of the platforms both online and live, the higher the stakes the lower the rake in terms of bb. Am I correct? Or am I just a silly one? Why is it opposite on this site where higher stakes have higher rake rate and also higher rake cap? I dont understand this. Can someone help me to clarify the logic behind this? Is it because people in higher stakes have bigger bankroll so they dont need to care about rake or something?

You are correct, it’s just greed. As you can tell from the past month, they’ve been cutting down rewards and now increasing rake even more.
Do other players use HUD on WPT, do you think? Even if it’s not allowed? Is it even possible? No handhistory is saved.
Is anyone else having problems with the betting bar? When I hit the raise button it goes straight to all-in.

Yes I can explain it very easily.
GREED
