ClubWPT Gold Changes its Business Model - Becomes Training Tool Poker Playing Site

ClubWPT Gold has overhauled its business model.

  • No more Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins

  • Instead, players buy “hand analysis credits,” which are spent to provide GTO analysis of the hands they plan.

  • Sweeps Coins are "chips"

i wonder if NY and states like it will allow the site with this new model?


Are they changing their tax reporting? Rake? If not the site remains unplayable.


makes sense why they bought upswing poker training site now from doug Polk


So can nj players now play there ? It’s a god dam training site now. I reason why we shouldn’t be allowed to play on a training site.

Ps nj sites are all trash


Same states still show excluded, it changed nothing so far

What a joke

Hey guys since the landscape has changed we changed even though it fixes nothing


And still no PLO


So they're really trying the pachinko model. You buy "hand analysis credits" which can be used for "chips".


And said chips can be taken and cashed out for USD.

What could go wrong.


I live in California and they are going to ban sweeps coins on Jan 1 2026 if Newsome passes the bill. How the hell can I play poker moving forward?

Go to Commerce or move

Victim blame me that will solve things. So I have to move because of things that are out of my control? Why do people like you exist?

You are a terrible human being you should be ashamed of yourself for what you said.

Online poker in the US is a lost case


this is still highly illegal and will accelerate them getting shut down and or getting criminal charges as well. It shows intent not to comply as well which is why they will make an example out of them.

Only you made yourself a victim, I gave you options. You want me to stop earthquakes, wildfires, and mudslides for you too? If you don’t like what CA is offering you then move, if you like it then stay

Enjoy life as a troll or whatever you are, it’s your life not mine

You chose a career, online poker, and you chose to live in CA. Those choices are incompatible given online poker is not legal in CA.

You have couple of choices. You can move to where your career choice is legal. Or you can change your career choice. Moving to Commerce fits this latter choice by switching to playing live.

That you feel this is victimized blaming is laughable. It tells me you are likely not well suited to playing poker as a career. You will always find something about the game to blame based on your victimhood.

Lots of people in the history of the world had to make a choice about doing to what's best for them including relocating for work reasons all the time. You are not special. You knew online wasn't legal in CA the whole time as well. Anyway only you can make that decision and you should focus your efforts on that.

I'm in CA too and whining about this isn't going to do anything. Just deal with it and move on.

Their lawyers clearly think it is NOT illegal.
A legal loophole, is still legal.

Why do you say its highly illegal?

If their lawyers believe it is not illegal then why aren't they back in the states they've banned this year? It makes no sense. If the new model was to bypass sweeps laws and legislation then those states should be back instantly under the new model........they are not though

If their lawyers believe its not illegal then why withdraw from the states where they decided it was illegal?
Idk if this new model changes the legality in places like NJ/NY/Cali but guess we will find out eventually.

The states banned sweeps sites. They are claiming this site is now a training site...not a sweeps site. If they were so confident in the new model they would be back in those states. The point is they are not confident at all

You don’t have a clue about how this works. Do you have any evidence to support your claim any lawyers think this is legal?

1. Do you know the operators even asked any lawyer for an opinion?

2. Very possible lawyers told them this was still illegal but operators choose to ignore the lawyers.

3. Even if their lawyers shared an opinion they felt the new model was legal, that opinion legally carries no probative weight. Legally no more weight than your or my opinions.
