“How else do you finish a tournament with 1200 people in 5 hours?”

M A.
5/29/23

So I read alot of these reviews. Lots of pissed off people. Here's what I say about it. The run free tournaments evert 10 minutes. They offer a variety of Texas hold-em games from limit to no limit and from standard to omaha hi-low (I'd like to see more of those). But you have to understand that these tournaments have to go fast. So whatever shuffle they use pops out alot of winners! Unlike a tournament at a casino, the shuffling is artifical, it has to be. They run 144 or so tournaments in a 24 hour period. At the casino, a pair almost always wins, not here. So relax and play for entertainment.

“Disabled Veterans Against Racist Cheaters”

Nite K.
11/8/23

The results of the hands are based More on Race, than the cards, about 10 to 1. Top pair, 2 pairs, 3 of a kind, straight, flush, full house will Win 9 out of 10 for 1 race, and 1 out of 10 for the other races. Statistically Impossible Results are the norm for some players, and a Bad Beats for others, occuring Occasionally for 1 group, and Constantly for another group. So Constant and Consistent, that it's Reliable. 9 out of 10 No matter what cards they have, or what cards they are up against!

WPT controls the hand and seal is not random. They site does accurately rate the hand. For example: a hand with clearly three duces is noted as a pair of two. A hand with a five card flush is noted as a king high. Both hands lose to a lesser hand. Very frequent statistically improbable and strategically placed river to win a hand. I don't understand why it is allowed to continue. It does a disservice to those that are learning the game of poker.

All I have read here are reviews claiming that PlayWPT is rigged so you have to purchase more "gold" with real money. I have been playing for about a month, have not spent one single real cent, and am up to about 42 million. Are there bad beats and suck outs? Yep. Are there also in live poker? Yep. I will allow that a lot of players take reckless chances because it is not real money, but that fact can be exploited to your benefit. Maybe all of you crying "foul" just need to learn how to play poker.

I have only played free on WPT but playing against most members in games. They are teaching goin all in on 3-10 off suit, betting the worst hands ever and they are letting members win multiple pots this way. They give the members the cards to win no matter what they go in with. I have witnessed about 30,4 of a kind and about 20 straight flushes in a matter of a year. This is so rare in poker it tells the whole story,m they are a scam.

I feel sorry a bit for those who pay a membership fee of $25 and upwards to play on this site. The ridiculous amount of 4 of a kind, straight flushes hands are a huge red flag. They also set up players to win going in on the worst poker hands that when playing for money in a casino one would never play on. This is teaching these poor saps the absolute wrong poker fundamentals. I have played for free and amassed a large number of chips which means very little but seeing this go on is alarming to me.

Anyone who understands poker and plays would faint at the straight flushes, or four of a kind hands. This web site teaches playing the worst cards and win phylosophy which is certainly not true in Texas Holdem. I never paid so I am simply stating facts that they are duping many people out of $25 a month and more, while the site is cheating and teaching the worst possible playing ever. Luckily I never paid one dime played for free but it is really not good practice as the cheat for paying players vs nonpaying to keep the money flowing.

Play for awhile, you see it if you look. If you don't pay to play, the favoritism for those that do is so obvious. Pay at your own risk, if you just want to play for fun and not sink a lot of money into a hypocritical "FREE" online site. GO ELSEWHERE! Do not play this one. If you pay, you win, if not, you just keep losing just outside the money. SCAM SITE!

Tip for consumers:
If you pay for the service, your results in tournaments is better. Try the free play, You Will NEVER get to a Final

Very user unfriendly site there were more user friendly sites over 20 yrs ago. Very little money to win and as with all online sites it's pseudo random because it's a computer program so don't be surprised on runner runners. Nothing like playing at a club

Terrible site, i cant even fathom the level of ridiculousness with these cards. These cards are not organic TRUST ME. The likelihood that this many bad beats occur is astounding. The system absolutely baits! The amount of times where unlikely stuff occurs is incredible. Were talking 5% or less chances over and over and over and over so i absolutely will never touch this site ever again. I really hope some people see this and go to a more credible place because this site is absolute larsony.

If you lose internet connection due to power loss or temporary internet drop, you lose all your money that you are playing. There is absolutely no way to get it back. Don't use this site... or at least, do not buy any coins to play. A complete rip-off. Secondarily, they use a very high currency rate... i. e. 1.44 for Canadian dollars to U.S. when it should be 1.25. Be very careful with this WPT site.

When you play on this site, brace yourself. You are about to see some unbelievable $#*!. You will see so many four of a kinds your head will be spinning. You flop a straight, you are most likely going to lose to a turn, river, flush or full house. There is no such thing as a good hand. The obvious question, why cheat on a free poker site? With the trillions of dollars floating around, why are there so few players?
Because this site sucks. Nobody stays here for long.

WPT global is a Corrupted pokersite. They allow players to work together to cheat others with advantage gaining software. They also break own policies allowing multiple unverified accounts. All round worse pojer experience I have ever had. I would never go back and would recommend against playing here

In your wildest dreams you have never seen anything like this site. Bad beats happen in poker but this game,,,, it is every second hand. Straights happen very frequently and the person with the worst hand wins 75% of the time.
I guess the idea is try and get people to buy chips.
Somewhere there is an owner (MarkMonitor, Inc.) of this site. Every time someone buys chips, they must laugh their asses off.

Tip for consumers:
Stay away from this site

In Aug 2023 I received a check for $75 from WPT for my winning on the site. It was unable to be cashed or deposited due to misprinting of the bar code. I immediately contacted WPT representatives and after over 5 phone calls I have still not received a replacement check and it is now Januarary. I have asked to speak with a supervisor and was told they were unavailable. Not the best customer service. The site is fine but the people who run it don't seem to care.

Dont waste your money. U can use a bank account for payment so just add 1 with no money it. After a few days it bounces like a check so u can still play in the tournaments without paying. I feel sorry for the people who do pay because its rigged algorithm trash. Ace on every other board... trash & no one ever wins with a high card. Someone has a pair no matter what. Its not real poker

dont use it

New players constantly win with crap hands.
They lure them in to make them believe winning is easy.
Buy chips, and you win.
Keep playing those crap hands and pay again.
Play only with the chips you have won; never pay.
If you enjoy playing and getting beat by 24 against AA or 67 against KK, go for it.

You can't get 4 of a kind 4 times in a week. You can't see Royal Flushes several times in a month. The odds are rigged if that's happening. I have personally gotten 4 of a kind 4 times in one week and the number of Full Houses that I've lost to in a single game is statistically impossible.

This site is crooked and the only explanation has to be that they get people to buy chips. I *NEVER* buy chips for this cheating website.

Ever.

I play poker locally all the time, I have never went 120 hands with only winning once. I even had pairs of jacks and above, no joy. When they are ready for you to buy more chips, you will not win. I'm an IT dude, these guys are screwing you.
