[ClubWPTGold] Unofficial Thread

thanks everyone for your answers.

are there promos and bonuses at this site?

I logged in one day and there was $10 more than when I logged out last. What is this?

any idea how the hand analysis works? When I first deposited I was told I had about 15 HA. Now its zero and I don't remember ever using this feature.

No promos or bonuses so far. Other than the chip dumps.

Every hand that sees a flop uses a hand analysis credit... The analyzed hands will show up in the hand analysis tab.

Then play like a maniac until you bust. I think if you rebuy immediately you stay at same table. Once you’re on your second bullet, nit it up and get paid whenever you hit.

Sat down for a little PLO sesh. First all in GII set over set and he hits quads. Next all in GII set over set and I hit quads. Ended up +2BI on the ~30 min session but come on man.

standard for gold. just like the 95% vpip player with 500 hands with a 1000bb stack.

For U.S. taxes in 2026 on WPT Gold: (I'm sure some people are up a fair amount of money on this site)

If you're up a lot, how would you report this on your taxes?

A. Deduct 90% of deposits as your expenses, and the cash outs are the wins

B. Deduct 90% of losing sessions? This could end up with a situation where you're paying taxes on money you didn't make?

C. Other?

Any tips? Anybody have CPA who advised you? You can PM me if you want. I'm up a lot on the site.

thanks,

When trying to add additional tables, does anyone else desktop client refresh then shut down new table before it loads? Or is that just me?

I’m having all kinds of trouble getting new tables to load. I came here to ask if anyone knew why.

Yes, frequently. Trying to move the table while it's loading seems to make it happen more often. Just another aspect of the world's worst poker software.

Botting continues to get worse.

All day I sit out vs players with 32/18 stats across stakes and they follow me from table to table so I can't play heads up.

Will make a list of all accounts if it continues to happen.

Ok, thanks! Wasn't sure if it was a computer issue on my end. It's SUPER frustrating. Almost went back to Global bc of it, they just have nowhere near the number of games. You'd think WPT would take a small % of their profits to make a really nice software with a user-friendly UI, I know they're raking in **** tons with this site.

can we get doug in here to comment on this; or for some reassurance?

combine the stuff that so many regs have posted here and in the WPTGOLD RNG thread and it's kind of crazy.

i don't mind losing fair, but the possibility of being cheated should not be a thing that all the pros and vloggers should be promoting. not saying it's actually happening, but COME ON GUYS. no one representing this company will offer any proof to the contrary?

Unless you're playing the games day in and day out it's tough to detect

I suspect they also get banned and then create new accounts.

Another way of noticing at the small stakes games is to see which regs table select and which regs don't. It's 2026 pretty sure any non bot winning player is table selecting. You'll notice the ones that don't and will continue to play in any game.

Also the ones that never move seats. Never deviate from their same playing style.

I don't believe the RNG thing by the way. I think that's most players that don't understand proper bankroll management and true variance in poker.

But would be nice if the botting was more under control.

Always somebody who convinces themself they understand variance better than the rest.

I’m sure all of us who have played millions of hands on multiple sites over decades still don’t understand “true variance”.

Fair enough.

I get lots of bad beats every day but still win so try and not to focus on it.

I guess the same logic could be said about the botting so I see what you are saying.

When you've played across stakes and playing as low as 40 NL now and see the exact same stat profiles at lots of different stakes, I guess for me that's more concerning. If they leave you alone that's one thing but actively blocking your tables is another.

It's online poker in 2026. Tough gig. And very hard to police.

Ah that's too bad not being able to play more than one table. I like to play 4 tables on globalpoker on my laptop. I think I'll still eventually try WPT because I heard they have some better tournaments than global.

It's not that you can't play more than 1 table. You just can't open 4 new tables like you used to.

It's 1 new table per stake

You can play as many tournament tables as you want. I often have 3-5 WPT MTTs, 2-4 Global MTTs and 2-3 Ignition MTTs going at once.

WPT has way bigger tournaments than Global; the site is like 10x larger, but Global MTTs offer a lot of value as many/most of their MTTs have overlays, at least until they wise up and reduce their guarantees further than they already have.

I have made multiple 5-figure redemptions to a bank and they all took 3 business days. Then I tried to make a smaller crypto redemption. It has been over 10 days, it's still "pending", and it won't let me cancel it or choose any other redemption methods. Support is not replying. So I currently just have funds in limbo on this site indefinitely - would not recommend using crypto here.

Sounds good. I know WPT has a larger tournament than the 100k at global. I heard WPT's was cheaper to enter also.

Been playing low end sit and gos and it seems like when I get down to 3 players the other 2 are playing almost perfect poker. Almost too perfect for $5-$20 Sit and Gos.

don't you need to deposit crypto first? i have a crypto option too, but it's greyed out in my cashier

Those of you guys with option to use crypto, are you US based or is this option only for Canadians?

I'm glad WPT gold has banned numerous regs for grimming & blocking seats but after how many times I open sat 10k to have brooks/yourdad spam min buy me and max timebank/limp every hand until the rec joined their table (working together to block every table I opened since it's 4max), I feel like some sort of refund would be reasonable. I've open sat on and off for months and them banning these players is great stuff but to email me back and say they can't confirm how much I've been effected so they'll refund nothing is silly. Another reg Kazak who got banned for btning me literally 1000s of times at 4k because he wanted a table and I kept joining him, I got no refund for either. Tbh the main point of this message is that they're doing a good job banning scumbags off their platform but you'd think they'd have slight appreciation for those starting HS games & doing it the correct way, oh well.. mainly a positive message here 😀
