[WPT Global] Official Thread

Zero 2/4/8 when 5/10/20 running (or basicly at any time) sounds unreal.

Im forced to play stakes 4-6 times higher than im used to because AI think i have high ELO or whatever. There is no way for healthy progression on this site, to try and grind up the stakes, to learn the game, to grow and take some shots if you feel ready. Rather im almost forced to play higher on this site, to increase the variance of my bankroll a ludicrously amount . If i run bad my bankroll will get wrecked. If im just worse than my opponents on higher stakes i will probably get wrecked. This system is so bad on so many levles. I tried to start tables and increase the activity on the site waiting sitting for hours, waiting or playing heads up. I got about 50$ for starting tables (lol?) The rakeback is obviously ****. The rake is mad. The software is garbage, we are raking like crazy and nothing is improving. I think its time to cash out.

I mean, if we can somehow find a solution for this... something that will bring back agents, solve this table starters nonsense, bring back average regulars who are driving the traffic 24/7 and rakings thousands and thousands monthly...

There has been a problem with rakeback bonuses this week. It is impossible that being many times the person who starts the table in NL200 gets only 8$ rakeback this week. There must be some mistake.

I had a separate question about the rakeback on the outside, my agent told me that he will not get any more rackback by WPT decision but how do I know that this is true and the agent is not keeping the money?

Thanks for the answer.

$8 in free cash? Just log in and the bonus money is waiting for you!

Traffic is so low right now, time to move my friend? LoveZhouYe.

Hi

I have a couple of doubts about the new reward system:

What happens if I start the table and after a few hands I sit out and there are already 3+ players, would I lose the rb for starting the table?

What happens if I start the table, leave and come back when there are 4+ players?

What happens when one of the people who started the table leaves, does no one else get their rb?

I also dont like the new changes WPT is making, and i think is very unfair to the agents and regulars that promoted games on the site.

And what about players having multple acounts on the chinese newtwok? They have and edge against the players that doesnt know they are the same person on multiple acounts, they should be verified and someway relate all the acounts to be 1 alias.

Anyway, the path wpt was walking was perfect, i dont know what they are thinking right now besides gettin more money to their pokets, its sad.

The only one answer for your all questions is just "NO". Even when I asked if there are 2 players already sat in different time but not player HU(meanting the table not running any hands), then I sit down can I get the rakeback? their answer is still not 100%, they answerd like "if they are wrong in the future, they will say "oh sorry, but I just said "most likely or it should be" ".

And below is the result of the "rakeback for 2 starters" idea, the most idea I ever seen.

This is the result, no one want to play if they don't get the rakeback because the HU's rake is too high and they don't want to help other but they get nothing lolll

Just let this site die. They deserve it.

Anyone else got the 1k reload bonus after a month of not playing on wpt?

I was away for a few days and my internet access was much worse than anticipated, if I missed anything important that I haven't responded to here please let me know.

I have no further information to give here. Our security team has investigated, and continues to investigate new reports, but so far does not believe that 'burner accounts' are a significant problem.

No specific date, and internally this is a controversial idea. However I think it will be done eventually.

As far as I'm aware there was no rake increase and the rake has been 5% for quite some time.

We don't take any commission or fees on withdrawals and if you see these in the cashier, they are fees / commission charged by either the payment provider or the crypto network itself (e.g. gas fees).

If the software interacts in any way with WPTG, then yes it could impact your account, but generally it would be blocked from running by our systems. I suggest you check with the developer of the software.

Unfortunately this is indeed the case. Multi-tabling was only ever developed for WPT Global and does not exist on any of the Asian partners' platforms. I know this is an issue and we're lobbying hard for this to be changed now that we've proven the case for multi-tabling.

Concerning the rake increase Alex - that is not true.

It was 5% but capped at 200 for 50/100/200 and at 400 for 100/200/400 (all limit always 1BB or 1 straddle)

Now it increased to 300 and 500 - + preflop jackpot is being taken when there's no chance of winning a jackpot preflop.

Yes, I received such a letter as well after withdrawing all the money and not playing for an extended period. But in the current situation, this bonus is an easy skip for me.

This change happened around 4 months ago.

Good morning, Alex,

Could you please take a look at the question below and provide your input? Also, I'd appreciate your thoughts on my suggestion.

Thank you!

huh, I don't re-call this. Always tought it was 1 straddle.

Why is the rake 1.5x higher at 50/100/200 vs other stakes when we already pay much more in term of $ then other limits?

Also this particular limit got more regs per table vs other stakes.

I am reading the promotion page to understand the vip rewards but i cant find what is the rakeback for mtts, is there not mtt rakeback? i can see only cash for people who are starting tables

Any RB for mtts are festival specific in the form of promotions. Twice there has been 100% rakeback for a festival. One they just didn't charge any rake at all, the other was in the form of a massive freeroll with all the rake collected during the festival. Many ppl won $10K+ in those. Looks like there won't be anything that amazing this coming festival, but they still got a bunch of cool things offered.

Any money saved (if any - it's not completely clear yet) is going to reallocated into promos, with the goal to mostly reward players who make positive contributions such as starting tables. The first phase was the Table Starter scheme, which we recently increased from 20% rakeback to 40% rakeback. There is more planned, and some of the budget might be used to incentivise affiliates differently, yes.

Honestly, I can't answer that because the decisions about rake for CNY tables are taken at the network level and we weren't involved in this particular decision. As we get larger, we're getting more influence into those network-level decisions, but sometimes things happen that we don't have control over.

Table starter rakeback applies to players who start new cash game tables, we don't have a similar system for MTTs, but there will be a lot of promos around MTTs - particularly for Fall Festival and the upcoming WPT World Championship, before the end of the year.

Oh come on. You've made it 40% for 1% of the pool.

As mentioned last week our Fall Festival has $8,500,000 GTD, with just over $3,000,000 of that being in popular Mystery Bounty tournaments. The festival itself kicks off this Sunday (8th September) however satellites & feeders are running right now (including in about 1 minute our first $220 BI to the $2,100 High Roller Bounty tournament, with 4 seats guaranteed).

Many promotions for most verticals are tied to the Fall Festival and more details (including the full schedule) can be found [B]here[/B]

Sunday 8th September looks like this (and if you want the direct link to the full schedule please [B]click here[/B]):

Any update on the spins promo?

Alex

Finally, at tables NLH with straddle, is rake paid preflop? If I did 3bet, 4bet or 5bet?

Tables HU or 3max is rake paid preflop?

We are waiting for the data to be posted to the site, so that players can follow their progress more easily. Manually checking, you have (presuming its yourself) earned a $220 ticket so far (will be paid when I get the first lot of data)
