WPT Global Review - Everything You Need To Know (2026 Updated)

WPT Global operates 2x $10,000 Freeroll Tournaments every single week.

These freerolls are always run on Saturday 17:05 UTC and Sunday 13:05 UTC.

Requirements to qualify for a ticket:

✅ Deposit $30 total in a week = 1 ticket

✅ Deposit $100+ total in a week = 1 more ticket

‎‎

NOTE: Deposits do not have to be made all at once. You are able to spread it out over the course of the week and still qualify for a freeroll ticket given you reach the required total deposit amount. The period where deposits are considered for that week's freeroll tournaments is Monday 00:00 UTC - Saturday 23:59 UTC.

WPT Global has one of the best "Welcome Bonus" offers out of all online poker sites.

To be eligible, you can't already have a verified WPT Global account.‎‎

✅ Instant Freebies

✅ 100% Deposit Match Up To $3,000

WPT Global will match your initial deposit as an unlockable bonus. The bonus is released to you as you progressively unlock it as per the below table.

Note that this is not an up front bonus. They provide you with a path to unlock it by playing, therefore this effectively works as accelerated cash back.

You have 60 days from your first deposit date to unlock as much as you can. However much you unlock during that period you are able to keep, and the unlocked bonus money will be actively added to your balance as you continue to progress.

WPT Global is offering 30% cashback on their Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO) cash games

The site traditionally does not offer cashback on rake fees paid, and instead opts to reward players through free tournament tickets and unlockable deposit bonuses that effectively work as cashback.

However, for all Pot-Limit Omaha cash games you are able to earn 30% cash back on all rake fees paid in addition to your Welcome Bonus and other promotional kickbacks you receive.

A few key notes:

✅ This applies to ALL cash games that run Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO)

✅ The cashback is paid weekly every single Monday at 1 PM UTC

✅ There is no limit to how much cashback you can earn.

Upon signing into the downloaded Desktop Client, you're greeted with a full list of cash game stake levels that are currently running. The stakes vary from $0.02/0.05 to as large as $200/400.

After clicking on a stake level, you're presented with the full list of tables for that stake which are currently running.

Since this is a global player pool, the displayed currency that the table is played in can vary from U.S. Dollar ($) to Chinese Yen (¥). For easier viewing, you can convert how all currency is shown back into USD by clicking the circled dollar sign icon.

‎‎

Note: You don't have to do anything special with your account balance to play at either USD tables or CNY tables. You can play on both if you have sufficient account balance. The only reason WPT Global has this features is because Asian players may find it more comfortable to have values displayed in a more familiar currency, and vice versa for Western country players.‎‎

To navigate to the full list of ongoing and scheduled tournaments, click on the "MTT" selection panel at the very top of the application.

Similarly to cash games, if you select the circled dollar sign ($) button right beneath the "MTT" selection panel at the top of the application, you are able to convert all displayed currencies back into the USD ($).

For mobile users, WPT Global is currently only available on the iOS App Store. Android users must use the browser version of the site instead in order to play on their phones- or alternatively can download the desktop client on their laptop/PC.

The below graphic shows a split screen view of the overall table layout and home page of the iOS app.

The mobile poker table layout closely resembles other free poker apps that you may have played in the past. It allows you to sit at up to 4 tables at once, using the top row selectors to either add new tables or swap between existing tables easily.

The below graphics show the basic layout in addition to a side by side example of all available customization options.

The following rake table applies to No Limit Holdem cash games, differing by stake levels and how many players were dealt in the hand.

All amounts are shown in the U.S. Dollar (USD).

NOTE: For all of these standard cash games, a "no flop, no drop" policy applies, meaning rake is only taken if the hand reaches the flop.

Tournaments are raked differently than cash games, as the rake is paid lump sum up front along with your tournament buy in instead of paid every hand participated in.

WPT Global usually sets tournament rake as 8-10% of the total tournament buy in, dependent on the stakes played. The higher the stakes, the lower the percentage. At the low to mid stakes however, you can expect to pay around a 10% rake on tournament entries.

The buy in and rake in the tournament details are formatted as "Buy In + Rake". The buy in goes directly into the prize pool, whereas the rake goes to the house for facilitating the game.

WPT Global offers all traditional style casino games as well as a few newer releases from casino game developers. The full list includes but is not limited to the following:

WPT Global has a few custom developed casino games that use poker as the main theme.

WPT Global offers a full suite of slot gaming options in addition to the previously mentioned traditional casino card games.
