WPT Global Poker review

WPT Global is a brand new online poker site 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, under the leadership of Alex Scott.

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).

☝️Big update! Now WPT Global accepts even more countries. Unique promotions are available for our players. Contact us to find out more.

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 Poker is promising, mainly thanks to its Asian bias. In this review, we will share why:

• Welcome promotions and rakeback.
• Deposit and withdrawal methods.
• Games and traffic.
• Is it safe to play at WPT Global?
• Why are the games played in the Chinese Renminbi?

WPT Global rakeback

WPT Global Poker defined from its foundation that it will focus on providing a superior experience to recreational players, and one of the most critical points for this is its approach to rakeback.

To date, the room does not have a traditional loyalty program rewarding the volume but has launched lottery-type promotions and raffles with guaranteed packages to tournaments in Las Vegas, among others. Below, we summarize all the current promotions of the poker room:

WPD rakeback deal

To date, the primary source of rakeback in WPT Global are affiliates, who organize exclusive promotions for their players. In the case of Worldpokerdeals. Our users enjoy:

1. Private rakeback deal. A monthly payment that is based on your game volume. An excellent antidote to fight variance.
2. Monthly rake chase monthly. In this promotion, you will not compete with other players but with your own volume. When you reach a specific net rake, you will receive a prize of up to 1,000 dollars.

All details will be confirmed by our team before creating your account.

WPT Global rake

WPT Global has a cash games rake from 3% to 5%, depending on the game format and the currency of the tables. Cash games (NLH, PLO, Short Deck): 3%-4%. MTT Tournaments: 10%. Spin&Go (Global Spins): 5% + 1% Jackpot. Fast-fold poker: 4%-5%

Overall, we consider that WPT Global has a fair rake in low and medium limits, while for high rollers, it charges up to 2BB, which we consider pretty high.

WPT Global welcome bonus

Nowadays, any online poker room that wants to attract players' attention must organize great welcome promotions. Having good software and a great company supporting the operation is not enough. WPT Global understands this, which is why it offers a generous welcome package divided into several parts:

WPT Global gives a 100% welcome bonus up to $1,200, giving 25% rakeback (for every $10 of rake, $2.5 is paid to the player's account). You have 90 days to release it; the minimum deposit is $20.

• First deposit of $20 or more: 2 free tickets of $5 for the WPT Passport satellite and 2 tickets of $5 for Global Spins.
• Second deposit of $20 or more: 2 free tickets of $5 for the WPT Passport satellite and 1 ticket of $10 for Global spins.
• Deposit of $300 or more: $110 entry for the $50,000 GTD Sunday Slam and two $10 entries for Global Spins.
• Deposit of $1,200 or more: $110 entry for the $50,000 GTD Sunday Slam, two $50 entries for Global Spins, and 1 $25 entry for Global Spins.

The promotion is cumulative. If you deposit $1,200, you will receive a complete package of tickets to try the tables.

Use the bonus code WPT Global WPDEALS to get all these benefits.

Promotions

Although WPT Global announced a loyalty program, it is not yet available to players. During its operation, the site's focus has been the promotions focused on casual players (lotteries, deposit bonuses, satellites to large live tournaments, etc.)

However, all registered players with our link will get a profitable rakeback deal. We can anticipate incredible rewards.

Leaderboards

WPT Global organizes two rake races (leaderboards):

1. $14,000 MTT weekly leaderboard
2. $25,000 weekly cash games leaderboard Kings of Cash.

The online poker room rewards the most active players with leaderboards like Kings of Cash, which guarantees $25,000 weekly. There's something unique about this promotion: for every 100 hands you play at the tables, you'll receive a ticket to a raffle that will randomly determine the winners.

Players who accumulate at least two tickets will participate in the Kings of Cash freerolls that deliver $4,500 weekly.

Considering that it is a new poker site with a powerful backer, we consider that WPT Global could be a little more generous with promotions for its players since, compared to other sites in the same category, it seems to fall a little short.

Games and traffic

Understanding the traffic of WPT Global is somewhat complex due to the distribution of the tables on the site: when opening the lobby, you will find games in US dollars (USD) and Chinese renminbi (CNY).

Most traffic is concentrated in Chinese yuan (CNY), which is excellent news for players who prefer to play against Asian fans. Tables in USD are preferred by foreigners who prefer not to make conversions when playing.

In general, you will be able to find the following games on WPT Global:

• Cash Games: NLHE, Bomb NLHE, Big Ante NLHE, Pace (fast-fold poker Zoom), PLO4 and PLO5, Short Deck (CNY only).
• MTT Tournaments.
• Global Spins (Spin&Go).

Apart from the Asian influence, the most crucial feature of the traffic at WPT Global is that the tables are automatically balanced between professionals and amateurs, ensuring that the games are fun for everyone. We also remember that multitabling is heavily restricted in the poker room.

Cash games

The most popular game in the WPT Global is No Limit Hold 'em. In low and medium levels up to $0.5/$1 ($0.25), you will find enough tables to play in USD and CNY, but higher levels are only available in Chinese yuan. All tables are 6-max and 8-max, although most traffic corresponds to the latter.

Regarding PLO and Short Deck, the traffic is still very low at all levels, and you can only find up to 3-4 tables per level in CNY in medium bets.

We recommend visiting the tables in CNY because there you can find more enjoyable games.

Tournaments

WPT Global's tournament traffic is also split between dollars and Asian currency. The guaranteed prizes are usually low (up to $50,000 GTD on Sundays). For those just creating their bankroll, there are daily freerolls with up to $200 added.

One of the plus points is the satellites for live tournaments of the WPT brand, an almost exclusive opportunity to travel around the world (Las Vegas, Europe, etc.) playing cards.
We highlight the "Major Tournaments"

• $50,000 GTD Sunday Slam of $110.
• $20,000 GTD Grand Slam from $330.
• $8,888 GTD Mini Slam of $11.

Any player who manages to win all three Major Tournaments in a 22-day period will win a $100,000 Jackpot in addition to the Triple Crown title.

Global Spins

In WPTGlobal, Spin&Go are called Global Spins. Those are available from $1 to $250. The maximum multiplier is 6,000x (maximum prize of $1,500,000). Each level has an independent jackpot that is formed with an additional 1% commission and is activated when the most significant multiplier falls.

The initial chips depend on the multiplier (the higher the multiplier, the bigger the starting stack), and the big blinds go up every six hands played.

WPT Global software

WPT Global uses proprietary software developed for the project. The games are primarily in Chinese currency (then the ¥ symbol). You can change the currency in the lobby, but it will still be Renmimbis at the tables.

WPT Global has clients for all operating systems: Windows, Mac, Android, iPhone (iOS).

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

Third-party software, including trackers and hand converters, is prohibited on WPT Global. 

You will find a button in the lobby to convert the currency CNY to USD. If you use this option, you can recognize the original Asian tables by comparing the bet amounts (as they will have unusual numbers such as $0.03/$0.07/$0.14).

Unique features:

• Restrictions on multi-tabling (maximum total of 7 tables): 4 cash games, 7 MTT tables (4 on Mac), 7 Global Spins tables (4 on Mac), 1 Pace table, 1 PokerFlips table.
• Rabbit Hunt: a function inherited from live poker, it allows you to see the cards that would fall when a hand ends.
• Insurance: You can "insure" your hand against bad beats for a 5% commission in different ways, taking into account your share of the pot or your equity.

Mobile app

The mobile application is available on both platforms (iOS and Android) and has a vertical presentation very similar to Asian mobile apps such as ClubGG. About multitabling, you can join up to 3 tables of any combination of games (cash games, tournaments, Spin &Go).

Reliability and trustworthiness

As affiliates, we understand that the reliability of a room is one of the most important factors for players. Below, we evaluate two main aspects:

Regulatory details and license

Although the site operates under a Curacao license (not the best one, we must say) and focuses on the challenging Chinese poker market, the project has the backing of one of the most respected companies in the poker industry: World Poker Tour.

We consider that any player who follows the rules (no bots, no VPN, no cheating, no "overexploiting" the tables) will have no problem at WPT Global.

However, we must highlight that we do not see a link to verify the platform's RNG, although WPT Global announced a "Player AI System" and a "custom game integrity engine" to ensure safe games.

Hall of Fame and ambassadors

Famous players always bring an extra layer of confidence to online poker rooms. WPT Global makes use of the prestige of the World Poker Tour and has excellent figures in its team:

• Phil Ivey
• Brad Owen
• Andrew Neeme
• Ethan "RampagePoker” Yau
• Xuan Liu

KYC and account verification

WPT Global requires all new players to verify their account; to do so, they will ask for the usual documents: Valid identity document (passport, driver's license) and proof of residency (bank statement, utility bill).

The documents can be sent to [email protected]. Even if complete verification is only requested at the time of withdrawal for the first time, we recommend completing this procedure as soon as possible.

Deposits and withdrawals

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

*Available cryptocurrencies :

• Bitcoin (BTC)
• Ethereum (ETH)
• USDT (TRC-20 and ERC-20)
• Bitcoin Cash (BCH)
• ICD (ERC-20)
• USDC (ERC-20)
• Cardano (ADA)
• Algorand (ALGO)
• Solana (SUN)
• Tronix (TRX)
• Binance Coin (BNB)

Remember that the payment methods depend on your region. No fees are charged for deposits and withdrawals, and the payment time is up to 48 hours, although the money is usually sent in less time.
