P2P - New Flexible Funding Options

Hello WPT,

I play your tournaments recently on my Android phone, everything is fine. But there is an issue, when I've moved to another table, your "waiting for next hand" notification appear, it covers the middle of the screen so I can't see the cards below, the same thing happens when the "break soon" appears.

Thank you!

Is it possible to play on WPT Global with HM3 or H2N4 running? I know they don't allow DriveHud because they are ok with some illegal converter, but even their support couldn't answer me that. Don't want to do anything illegal, it's just because I want to play multiple sites. Back in 2023-24 I was playing with HM3 running, but not sure if things changed since then

Was it okay with GG? Would be useful with mixed site playing; especially with MTTs.

I am currently playing blind at CP, when having GG and/or WPT Global open also. At 888, I play w/o a tracker, and at WPT Global it is possible but clumsy - cant get HHs, I suppose -- new there.

Isn't the cashout EV only 5%? Many tables are very loose on this site.

I played two MTTs recently here and was wondering how so many dominating kickers WON, like I saw happening at CP, too. Though I got busted the usual way on money with a dominating kicker - and run very lucky before that (2 MTT-tables both at top 10%).

Not used to that at GG. At GG, their cashout EV is only 1%? Started to play again lately, and I think it might have changed, but whatever, I use it when I need it.

I haven't played much at 888 lately, and I liked their micro MTTs, above $1 (the below $1 MTTs are a joke everywhere), and I am planning to give it another shot to see how it goes these days, if they have enough action, for the smaller fields and nice micro MTTs games, as I remember them.

The 3-player hypers are what they are; I liked more the GGs 6-max hypers the few times I have so far played them (up to 2nd position, that seems to be the best I can manage), but so far seems more sensible. At GG, I like the other free-ticket fast format also, that ends to final table fast.

Maybe you should rethink about your strategy? GG has fast-poker tables - tight, that I have played regularly at micros.

I have enough loose games experience also, so will see how it goes at WPT Global longer run.

If enough games run or/and maybe I build them myself, if I have the time. I am not a PLO HUHU player - if I get targeted by micro sharks and the table doesn't build up. Will need to see the rake and quality.

I wouldn't mind the 40% or even 30% bots, fuller ring, to get more PLO action on this site.

The rake may not be too much of an issue, so I think more players should try this site.

They accept a somewhat surprisingly limited amount of countries and seems to have almost a paranoid amount of KYC, security etc. worries?

Technically, set to be player friendly, but will need to see what that is in practice also, as I am obviously a "Pro" skilled player by their definition.

Would hope the house-HUD stats to be more visible. And HHs for trackers like at GG.

No NLHE/PLO 4 cash games available now or is it just me? I see some PLO 5 games running and MTTs...

Yup, maintenance indeed.

Any idea about how we can get some stats out of this site? E.g. number of hands played and total profit / loss. Is it just not possible without manual tracking?

Number of hands is relatively easy to track through your own stats. You need to check both $ and ¥ and if you want a detailed overview you can break it down for every stake you play. Cashier history for keeping track of profits and you something. No bb/100 though, but maybe you can calculate an avg stake and avg bb/100 with the data.

Thanks, good idea with the cashier! I also realized you can see "number of hands played" by clicking on your avatar while sitting down without a hand. You can do that either before you get your first hand or in a narrow window when the cards are being dealt.

Seems like I'm at ~40BB/100 at 0.05/0.10/0.20 (0.05) straddle + ante game over 14k hands. Not bad I guess, but it's a tough game.

Really surprised about all the people above reporting bot activity. Are they prevalent on Yuan tables? I don't think I've encountered any bots on USD tables. Maybe it also helps playing tables with Bomb Pots, which I assume bots would avoid.

I was recently banned from WPT for collusion, but they wont tell me with who/when or show any hands or anything. Im fairly sure they are talking about basically the only player I have any kind of relationship with, an IRL friend who plays under me/my agency who also received a lifetime ban. We play different games but every now and then will play an MTT and swap some action (maybe 20-30 times total over 1.5 - 2 years?). We've probably played like 20 notable hands vs eachother lifetime, the only one I can remember in recent months is him stacking me QQ v AA all in pre. Majority of swaps we do are for MTTs quite below my usual avg buyin.

I play full time and am up around $20-25k on the site, I have 8 players playing under me there. To go and then collude in a way smaller than normal buyin MTT seems pretty damn ridic. And even if I was colluding, were talking like 2-5 max potentially suspicious hands over 2 years in small buyin MTTs.. is that really enough to warrant a lifetime ban + funds confiscated? ;s

Im just wondering if anyone else has had anything like this happen..? The whole situation is very strange.. would be nice to get some peace of mind on it 😃 First time ive had an issue like this on any site.

I asked WPT for my hands just to look through myself to see if theres anything that could be seen as suspicious, but they wont/ignored that request. I just received a lifetime ban/funds confiscated, one follow up email telling me they cant tell me about their investigation procedures and now they just ignoring..

I know a player playing at 25-50-100-200 stake, and he changed account 3 times but WPT did not do anything.

I reported to them already but nothing change, so from now on if people get HSP tag and can't see the table they just need to change the account and see all the tables again right?

So so unfair for a player playing more than 500k hands like me and other players.

That's crazy Yazzx! Can they really confiscate the funds without giving any justification? I suppose the best strategy in this case is to have as little as possible funds on-site at any given time...

Read the Complaints section in their T&C, carefully, and follow the instructions to initiate a formal complaint, exactly.

The other player in question did exactly this. They replied within 9 minutes (no way they could have read all of his email) with a copy pasted email they had sent me. They didnt even bother to change the name to his and left mine at the top of the email

Luckily my account was pretty much empty at the time of the ban

I am the other player in question, and did this - as per paragraph 10 of their T&C'S... wrote a fairly long formal dispute/complaint via email that was nothing but respectful & fully transparent about our histories on WPTG, suspicions as to why we were banned w/o warning and without explanation, and a reasonable defence to anything we could think of that came close to warranting such swift decisive action.

I was expecting some sort of justification for the ban, smth - at least a well thought out response but instead as Yazz said, I was completely ignored & got a copied & pasted reply from a previous exchange with Yazz within 9 minutes (Given I felt that was our last line of recourse, it was pretty long and left no stone unturned) and they forgot to even change the names.. addressing the completely wrong person.. not a good look, honestly - massively unprofessional I'm sure you'd agree. That being said, WPTG has improved tenfold and is a great site to play on, so this is disappointing but it seems little can be done, and they seemingly can snap ban anyone at will on a whim and spam you with template replies if you ask for some sort of evidence.

Next to nothing was seized, Yazz was empty & I had a small amount, but that is of little relevance here I feel. If you assume (correctly) that the same action would be taken irrespective of this.

Thank you.

Could you post a copy/paste of para 10, please? There should be a "what to do next" bit if you are still dissatisfied with their treatment of your case.

Yes, I remember reading that, you can forward it on to a third party but given my email wasn't even read before, I'm not massively keen to commit more time to this cause, despite being disappointed about it.. 😃 Maybe if I felt there was a >0.5% chance of anything coming of it.

Sad really, haven't been on 2+2 in a while, Just checked.... I've made 2 other posts after 2022 and both were in the WPTG thread making suggestions & reporting bugs. Says it all. Appreciate the replies Mike.

EDIT - Here is Paragraph 10 which includes action that could be taken beyond what we already have.

You guys received an email about your account being moved to nexapoker ?
