WPT Global Review

WPT Global is a brand new poker room launched in mid-April 2022 by the famous homonymous company. There are many things to say about this site but let's start with the obvious: it's backed by one of the most trusted companies in the gambling industry: World Poker Tour.

Besides the obvious, WPT Global features exciting promotions and a new platform, including a mobile app crafted for the current conditions (for example NFT Avatars with the Poker Heroes Club).

Operating under a Curacao license (GLH-OCCHKTW0701202022 issued to Seventip N.V.), which is surprising for such a company, we can fairly say WPT Global is promising, mainly thanks to its Asian bias. In this review, we will share why:

• What are the welcome promotions?
• Deposit and withdrawal methods
• Games available (cash games, tournaments)
• Customer service
• Why are the games played in Chinese Renminbi?

WPT Global welcome bonus

Nowadays, any room wanting to draw the players' attention needs to host massive welcome promotions. It's not enough to have nice software and a big company endorsing the operation. WPT Global understands this; we can say they have a pretty decent marketing budget:

The site gives a 100% first deposit bonus up to $1,200, giving 25% rakeback (for every $20 rake, $5 is paid to the players' account). You have 90 days to clear it, and the minimum deposit is $20. A jackpot rewards players for getting strong hands (four of a kind, straight flush, royal flush).

For a limited time (until November 13, 2022) all new depositing players will get a free $55 Satelite ticket to the WPT World Championship Seat Qualifier.

WPT Global rakeback

Although WPT Global announced a loyalty program, it isn't still available to all players. Nevertheless, all players who sign up using our link will get a profitable rakeback deal. We can anticipate the massive rewards.

After registering with Worldpokerdeals you will enjoy a unique rakeback deal. The details will be confirmed by our team in private.

About the rake structure, we consider predatory that NLH microstakes have a no cap structure. Low to high stakes seem fair. Short Deck games feature a regular structure with caps across all stakes.

• Microstakes (up to ¥0.5/¥1): 4% without caps (red flag alert)
• Low to high stakes (from ¥1/¥2 to ¥100/¥200): 3% with caps from 1 to 6BB

All the above numbers in CNY. In tournamente the fee is 10%.

Games and traffic

Although the site was recently launched, our scouts have identified exciting traffic across cash games and MTTs. 

Highlights:

• You can only play one table at once (in theory a temporary restriction);
• Only MTT, NLH (fast-fold, Bomb, and regular), and Short Deck are available;
• Many cash games feature straddle;
• Games are played in Chinese Yuan.

Regular cash games are played from ¥0.1/0.2/0.4 ($0.01/$0.02/$0.06) to ¥100/200/400(100) ($15/$30$60($15)), and for 6+ Hold'em up to 500 CNY ante ($78).

About the MTT grid, the most expensive tournaments feature a 1100 CNY buy-in ($172), and we have spotted almost 1,000 players in ¥330 events (¥218k GTD). Of course, you can win exclusive packages to live WPT events worldwide.

WPT Global software

WPT Global uses proprietary software developed for the project. Although in the future this could be great news, for now, we must say the platform is not very friendly and has some bugs that need to be fixed.

The games are played in Chinese currency (hence the Yuan symbol ¥). You can change the currency in the lobby, but on the tables, it will keep showing Renmimbis,

You can only play 1 cash table at a time, an unusual limit.

On the bright side, WPT Global launched a client for all popular operating systems at once:

• Windows;
• Mac;
• Android;
• iPhone (iOS).

The Poker Heroes Club allows players to enter the metaverse with playable NFT avatars, the latest trend of the poker world.

WPT Global does not allow the use of any HUDs / Third Party Software

Mobile app

The mobile app is available for both platforms (iOS and Android) and features a portrait display very similar to Asian mobile apps like Red Dragon Poker. 

Reliability

Perhaps the most recognizable feature of the room. Although the site operates under a Curacao license (not the best one, we must say) and is focused on the gray Chinese poker market, the project is backed by one of the most trusted companies in the poker industry: World Poker Tour.

Undoubtedly any player following the rules (no bots, no VPN, no cheating) won't face any problem with WPT Global.

Nevertheless, we must highlight there is no visible link to verify the RNG of the platform, although WPT Global announced an "AI Player Matching system" and a "custom game integrity engine" to ensure fair games.

KYC and account verification

WPT Global requires all new players to verify their account; to do this, they ask for regular documents:

• Valid ID card (passport, drivers' license);
• Proof of address (bank statement, utility bill).

Documents can be sent to: [email protected] Although a complete verification may be requested only on the first withdrawal, we recommend sorting out this process as soon as possible.

Deposits and withdrawals

Let's start with the good news. You can deposit and withdraw to WPT Global via cryptocurrencies (Coinspaid and Coindirect). All other regular payment methods are also available*:

• Skrill;
• Neteller;
• Cryptos (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin);
• Credit cards (Visa, MasterCard);
• Luxon;
• Astropay;
• MuchBetter;
• Bank transfer.

*Let's recall payment methods depend on your region

No fees are charged for deposits or withdrawals (with a common 1-time roll-over rule; if the deposit is not wagered at least 1 time, an 8% fee will be charged).

There is, however, an unusual rule: if your account balance is 10 times larger than your all-time deposits, you can only withdraw €5,000 per month. This is a funny rule for an MTT lucky player.

Pros and cons of WPT Global

We highlight the following features of the app:

• Backed by World Poker Tour
• Asian bias (Chinese fish at the tables)
• Many tournaments
• Cashier with cryptocurrencies

On the dark side:

• Buggy new platform;
• No cap in rake at microstakes;
• Not available in many countries.
