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.

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

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.

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 $#*!

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.

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!

Twice recently I have won a big hand only to have pokerallday kick me off their site without paying my winners. They have,today, taken my $49.00 and not credited my account. I am left to assume they are thieves.

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.

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.

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.

BS
November 8, 2022

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.

Why the idiotic play for free poker? Four times there was a 4 of a kind, (1 by me) in less than an hour, plus I lost to 3 straight flushes. Is the idea, if you cheat people enough they will buy free chips? Not even worth playing for free chips!

Been playing poker for 20 plus years and there is definitely a corrupt algorithm on this site. The hands that come up and virtually impossible. If it happened once in a while... ok. It happens but for example. Three hands in a row I got 7/3. Twice in about twenty minutes I had a hand with "the nuts". No hand could beat me... and someone else at the table had the same hand. There are boys playing that just cant be beat. If your smart enough to pick them out and not go heads up against them... you have a chance. Overall... just outright pathetic cheating.

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.

Rigged garbage
May 12, 2021

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

Fraudulent
August 23, 2019

They say eligibility to play is based on where you live until you pay the year subscription and then tell you it's based on your IP address. Also, no customer service number and 4 out of the 5 that I have emailed are completely incompetent or intentional criminals.

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.

Biggest Joke of All
September 29, 2020

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.

If you're wondering whether this is a legit poker site, it's not. Though it is touted as such on tv, it's as bad of a rigged game as any other. Worse than some because they are going after your money to stay in the game. Why is it so difficult to provide an honest game online? I would have become a member of their other site if this had been as advertised. Glad I tried the "practice" site first. Shows me the other site will be just as rigged as this... along with a monthly payment.
