Did not buy any chips despite constant reminders to. Ran chip count to 8,984,600. Bad beat after bad beat. How the Scheme works, you are dealt good staring cards, one card would consistently match the flop and sometimes pair up with high card. As an example dealt A/K, the flop 6, K, 10. Have pair of K's, seat 3 raises (30K), seat 6 calls, I call, turn is an ace, (top two pair), seat 3 bets pot (60K), seat 6 calls, you call, the river is a dud 3, seat 3 raises, seat 6 bumps it (120K), I call with top two pair. Seat 3 folds and seat 6 reveals pocket 3's. This scenario happens occasionally but once I reached almost 9M, it happened consistently, out of the blue bad beats. My flushes K high were always beat by A on the river. How many straight flushes have you ever seen, I lost to 5, I'm dealt A, K of spades, flop Is 5, 6, 9 of spades, seat 3 bets 90K, seat 6 calls, I call, turn is 4 of spades, I raise 245K, seat 3 calls, seat 6 calls, river is 3 spades, no bets but seat 3 folds?, seat 6 shows Q hearts and 2 of spades. Not in your wildest imagination can you call this a bad beat. Eventually you see the pattern, On the flop I have premium hand, seat 2 raises, following seat calls, I call, on the turn seat 2 raises, all call, on the river seat 2 again raises, seat 6 has minimal raise river, seat 2 the original raiser always folds, seat 6 sucks out and wins. Other times I would go all in on the river, bet is called, screen goes black, and some other seat wins But you never actually see the winning hand. This site is a well set up fraud.

Cheating software
December 5, 2020

This Game has players that use cheating software and the owner does not care. The site will also not refund your money. The Site is a total ripoff..

100% Rigged for sure!
September 9, 2017

I have a FREE account and refuse to hand over my credit card for them to charge me. I was once signed up on their ClubWPT (it was their first free poker version on the internet) but then WPT sold ClubWPT to CHINA! China kicked me off of their site since I was FREE. I signed up for PlayWPT hoping for the best, but oh no the worst happened. They now OWE ME 200K for winning TWO tournaments, I still have no resolution and it's all due to the fact that my account is still FREE. So, rigged, rigged, rigged all day long and if you have a FREE account they will phase you out like they are me because all they want is your credit card number to charge you REAL money for FAKE gold money on their site to play. IT's a scam, NO ONE at PlayWPT has ever answered a single email I sent about the 200K that's owed to my account. So, if you hand over your credit card and have a problem, good luck on getting anyone to help you, BECAUSE THEY WON'T! You have been warned, proceed with extreme caution with PLAYWPT and CLUBWPT. In my opinion The World Poker Tour's reputation has been damaged beyond repair for me.

Why I decided to cancel my membership:

1. Speed. Site is extraordinarily SLOW. They allow FAR too much time for every bet, and most of the players sit there and take every damn second of it to make the simplest decisions, regardless of the blinds, point in the game, etc. It is stupid to make everyone waste all of this time. For example, I have played several single table Sit-and-Go's and some of them have taken as long as 1.5 – 2 hours. Ridiculous.
2. "Sitting Out" – this is a complete joke. What exactly is the point of this "sitting out" function anyway? They don't have any explanation of it on the web site, which is also just plain dumb. I think the very first and most important thing someone running a web site like this must do is to clearly explain ALL of the rules and functionality of the site. If sitting out is just so someone can run to the bathroom or something, then that is fine. But they allow people to sit out forever, especially in tournaments. Then they also, amazingly, even allow people to win a hand even when they are supposedly sitting out? What the heck? I've even been sitting at a table with several other players, and EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM is sitting out. So I sit there hand after hand just clicking away. Who goes to a poker site and then sits out for half an hour or whatever? This is REALLY dumb and must be better policed!
3. Loyalty Points – I supposedly have over 30,000 loyalty points. So what? No place on the web site does it tell us what these are or what they are used for. How can they go to the trouble of creating something like this and then neglect to thoroughly explain it? They must have just got bored when they were building this web site and decide it wasn't worth the trouble to do it properly and professionally. I would think that for the exorbitant monthly cost ($27.95) they could at least do it right for Christ sakes.
4."Ring Games" – it is next to impossible to get on a ring game table. Even when it shows that there is room on a table you always seem to find the table full.
5. Cost – I'm sorry, but the return you get for a monthly VIP cost of $27.95 is just not there. The vast majority of games that even offer a few dollars back is a paltry amount. I mean $10? Really? The cost of a Diamond membership ($147.95) is a complete joke and I can't imagine ever spending that much money on it.

They need to seriously re-think this entire thing. I thought Zynga was the worst poker site out there. At least now I know they are just second worst - to ClubWPT.
