FRAUD
December 27, 2024
Updated review

I pay ever month. Just cause I know the site will be sued for fraud. And I'm getting PAAAAAYED. IM THE SUCKER NOW. But I will win at the end. Getting that settlement money! Only way you win on this site. Fold 99% of hands and use up your time clock every decision. I win $50. Maybe play 20 hands in a 5 hr tournament. 250 hands dealt. WTF. WPT= Who Plays That.

Not a good site to learn poker. You will win more times with 7-2 off-suit. Then A-A...WPT Stands for.Who-Plays-That! It's just a scratch off ticket you play everday at your local gas stations's. There here to make money not give it away.

Its either a bad beat or you're sharing a pot.There's no actual glory playing this site as much as they hype it up. Joe Schmo(You),are just a victim on this site giving away hard earn money you'll never see a return from.The sad honest truth unfortunately.Live poker will always be the way to go.1.24 stars is a good indication this site is $#*!

WPT Programmjng.
April 1, 2024

My comment is for the WPT programming broadcasts. It is not for any other platforms. I'm tired of seeing women playing poker. I'm tired of seeing your ad nauseam commercials, interviews with the No-name bbpoker players. I'm tired of getting background and history of them. Ad nauseam, it drags out the program and fails to give us competition, competition, competition. Everything else is worthless, uninteresting and irrelevant. Also the numerous assistants on the program with low cut neck lines, giant bosoms flaunting their almost porn apparel is irrelevant, uninteresting, and not pertinent to what the program is about.
Thank you.

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.

Not a random deal
December 16, 2023

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.

Favoritism
December 6, 2023

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!

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!

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.

Poor stewardship of poker site
October 3, 2023
Previous review

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.

Very poor site
September 15, 2023

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

What can you say when you have a full house and you KNOW you're going to win and then when you go ALL IN for 8 million chips your hand is the 3rd best hand on the table (non-tournament) including a straight flush? It's like everyone else is saying in their reviews, they make you think you have a lock and set you up to lose. They try to keep the tournaments speedy and it means using logic that is NOTHING like real poker. Not even a little bit real... If you buy chips here and I'm guilty as hell, you are gonna get set up to take incredible bad beats. They love you when you buy chips. But they want you to buy MORE chips. FAST. I also keep noticing that my computer gets what seems like an attack on huge hands. I get a little spinning circle when the hands are the most important and I lose when I would have won a ton. If you run your task manager while you play, you'll see that the site runs up incredible amounts of memory on your computer. It's almost like an attack. I still play but this is nothing like poker.

Do not pay to play.
June 21, 2023

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.

Scam
June 9, 2023

This is a simple computer program designed to make money. That's it. Yes that is the goal. It would be very VERY easy to manipulate the program to make fake players, and then program the AI TO GENERATE ITS OWN WINNING COMBINATION. Smart, yes. But if you want to play real poker, go to the casino, or Texas card house or anywhere but here.

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.

I played the first month, i won some small tourneys. The site was looking good! As the days went into the second month I started noticing bad beats way above normal numbers i ignored it. Then i started getting bad beats even worse especiallly in the 1000. Not very big tourneys, I know how to play over 35 years ive played and all over the country. Ok they started in with more and more bad beats, just like others have said they put a crew on you and your not gonna win giving them every card they need. I am stubborn i knew i could beat them im better than they are but then they really got nasty, every time i go in couldnt go all in cause they always had an answer always they win and there people just play everuy hand and darte u to jump in but pretty much unwinable poker. If you want to play poker dont go here i have to tell you it wont go your way its reactive hardware u push it reacts, no matter what you do forget this site they are worste than bad never giving 8you good cards even. I still went right up to the final table even with bad hands but good luck trying to win all they will teach you is how to loose real bad!

Dress code

Your players dress like bums, install a dress code, no face covering with shirts, no sucking on your shirt etc. Clean up your players and be a class act.
