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.
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.
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.
You can be and won the hand and in WPT they give the chips outright to another player. This happens OFTEN. Have contacted then concerning this and it still continues. SAD. ITS A DAMN GAME WHY THE CHEATING.
Months ago I wrote a scathing rebuke to WPT's claim of "they teach you real poker". A number of us had been keeping track of the "bad beats" and "suck outs" for 3 years. Having played Holdem since 1979, we felt the percentages speak to not even close real world figures. At the time I said 63.7% of the time the river killed a solid hand. Well guess what. It is now 71.67% of the time. Pocket pairs or 10's of larger get beat 79.83% of the time. There are at least 2-3 "props" at each table during certain hours with algorithms set to win at least 75% of the time no matter your hand. I could go on with what we found but it would take days. WPT online is so fake that it is laughable. Why anyone would actually pay to play on their site is absurd. They teach you nothing about real Holdem that is even 1% useful. A billion dollar company, from their TV and "staged competitions", should be ashamed of the utter lack of credibility they present. But as always, as PT Barnum once so aptly put it: "there is a sucker born every day". If you want to really learn Holdem then go to your local card club, or Casino, and watch real money in front of real live people and take mental notes. Good Luck!
Said, "hey I'll download this and maybe actually win some money for nothing". So you create an account which they require a credit card but you get 14 days free. Found I did not live in a state that allows cash prizes so I'm blocked from those games. Try to play in a tournament and damn game is so buggy I was forced to sit out several hands because the damn buttons wouldn't register. Finally quit and went to my account to cancel THERE IS NO LINK TO CANCEL YOUR ACCOUNT OR EVEN CONTACT THE SERVICE. I had to go online and search out how to cancel my subscription. In addition you will get constant popups to but useless SH**, probably the most frustrating poker game of all not because of bad play but horrible program: 0 stars.
This game is a rip-off. These people should be in jail. Not random at all. Tony Dunst should be ashamed. But of course that would require a human soul.
I just bought 20,000,000 for $79.99.And just did it for a test, Well I can't stop winning hands after hands, This site is very rigged will keep you posted how I end up with all this...
Just like other reviews its bad beat after bad beat. I too will not pay real money for their play chips.it is the worst site I have ever played on and I will not go back. Back to pokerstars I guess.
The worst poker site I have ever been on, and by far the worst ''just gaming site" ever. I was told by one person that the Supervisor wold fix my problem the next day and refund my money. But all they did is say sorry about your luck and have a nice day! They are just out there to "$#*! YOU UP THE $#*!" and get your money, and hope you like it! I called back and the lady said I was not allowed to talk to the Supervisor, he was beside her, telling her what to say! He was not man ENOUGH to get on the phone and talk to me, he had to get a Lady to talk for HIM!
If you draw a great hand some one sitting at the table will stay in and draw on the last card to beat you and you can tell it is rigged because if you run out of chip it pops up to sell you more.
Want to learn how to play poker? This is the worst place ever. They know nothing of poker, they use lottery logic when it comes to Poker. They don't respect the game at all. These idiots want idiots who don't know the game to win. Good players get $#*!ed on the river. This is to make sure idiots who know nothing of Poker keep playing yet us who know the odds and the numbers get screwed regularly. I would say please don't use this site at all if you like poker. Even if you don't like Poker this is literally the worst place to play. Zinga is a better place to play and Zinga is $#*! too. Please don't play here to understand how Poker works because they don't either. This is the worst Poker site and it's 50 times worst than Zinga on Facebook. This is literally the worst site online for Poker players, new or old. This place should not be allowed to continue. Everyone should boycott it but new people who get to win on rivers against us people who understand the game. Well that's what keeps them coming back and then they lose too
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.
Spent the last 7 days keeping statistics on every hand played, in holdem and tournaments, and was outraged how many times the last card won for a player... like 1 billion to one odds... no rewards for players either... a rigged game... if you play you are just another sucker... no sudch "good luck" in a rigged game... and no way to send them a comment... RIGGED GAME - DO NOT SPEND YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY IN THIS SUCKER ROOM PARLOR.
I spend money to buy chips I'm tired of your business cheating. Play fair when people are paying money to play your game. It's obvious that you cheat on hands that are dealt
I just pre flop raised with A K.got 2 callers flop was king ten two off suit bet the pot got one caller turn was a 4 bet he called river was jack he bet i called...what do you think he had.yep jack 4
I will never play playwpt ever again it is absolutely the worst poker site in the world... i will tell everyone i know for the rest of my life! By the way i do play a lot of poker.
The Good:
- You can play for free and there are free tournaments to join. I've place to 5 in man and then there is some payout.
- At a low level, you can accumulate chips for free by winning hands and tournaments. I've accumulated over 2 million chips just through winning - not much but enough to play for free.
The Bad:
- The cards that come up are fixed by the computer so that you can easily lose. Many times there are multiple straights, flushes, and even full house hands in the same game. This is simply not possible wen one looks at statistics. I've had flush hands many times and then the last card give someone else a full house. Yes, this is possible, but when it happens over and over, then it's simply a fixed game.
- Play the game for a while and you see flops repeatedly that are 3 cards of the same suit. I've played poker for years in real games and this is not normal. On WPT poker, I seen this happen 2 times in row and 3-4 times in a round of 20 hands. Clearly either a glitch or a fix to ensure some players loose.
I don't put any real money into such a site as it ensures you will lose it. Play with free chips and it can be fun for a while. I'll be looking for a better site but not sure if there are any on-line poker sites that aren't rigged to take you money.
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.
This morning i played 6 hands before i quit. In that time the 3 queens the was a queen. The next the flop was 3 queens and one had the other. One of the other hands was a straight. That's when i quit
This site is so fixed it is not funny. You have to pay to play if you want to win TP Tourney Points to play in the money games. This site is so full of it. Stay away - spend time with your family - play games with your kids. STAY AWAY - THIS SITE AND THEIR FAMILY ONLY WIN. FULL OF CRAP - FIXED.
WORST SITE EVER THATS RIGGED SO BADLY THATS ITS EMBARRASSING. AND THE PROS THAT SUPPORT THIS SITE SHOULD HANG THEMSELVES OR SHOOT THEMSELVES. PATHETICALLY THE WORST SITE EVER. ENCOURAGE ALL THE PLAYERS BEFORE JOINING TO CHECK REVIEWS OF SITES LIKE WPT THAN JOIN.IM QUITTING AFTER 4 MONHS ON THIS SITE AS IM STARTING TO BELIEVE IMM A LOSER AND KILL MYSELF. BAD SITE FOR SELF ESTEEM QUITTING POKER CAUSE OF WPT POKER. $#*! U $#*!S AND SOMEDAY I MAY PAESONALLY VISIT UR HEAD OFFICE IN CALIFORNIA.
First thing I notice is that there is only 1 good review. LOL
Now, I played LIVE no limit/ pot limit poker for over 50 years. Never have I seen the play like I saw in WPT. You have aces or something. You raise before the flop, and 5 people go all in with hands like, J-3, O-7,8-2, and they win almost every time.
Then, are ready for the line? They want you to spend your money to buy more chips to be able to play. They got me, ( I am ashamed to admit), twice. And the best I could do was win perhaps 1 out of every 35/40 hands.
All I wanted to do was have a bit of fun, NOT GET SCAMMED OUT OF MY MONEY!
If players played like the one's on this sight, I would be one of the world's richest people LOL. So, once I accepted that I was just had with NOTHING I could do about it as they are NOT regulated in any way, I took my last 25,000,000 and just laughed my asz off.
Then it WAS fun for the 3 days I lasted.
Pure scam i had played Lot of hands and sa the scam common fail you win at beginning but later you flop flash to full house or win with k2 to JJ…the game push bad players to win and gable
This site is truely a fking scam. I signed on for the 14day free trial. They charged me anyway stating i had already used my free trail back in 2014. Ive never been on this site till just recently. Even if i was on this site back then, their add doesnt say anything about past membership. It just says try it out for 14days free. I was charged immediately and didnt know until i cancled before the 14days were up. I just couldnt take this fake poker site anymore. In just over a week i saw more badbeats then ive seen in the past 10 years in real live poker. This is no place for a beginner or talented poker player. This poker site wil ruin your poker game and cause you to lose your self confidence. Play live poker and forget this site and anyother online poker site. You will do much, much better. Terry parsley
The site is designed to drain your chips so you spend real money. Unbelievable suck outs. Save yourself the aggravation and $$. A total rip-off
Never have I seen so many 4 cards to a flush with the worst hand winning or river aces hitting a 3 outer
