Are they closing? What's going on? They out of sudden have one bajillion freerolls with quidspillion dollars in cash payouts?

It is not a WPT advertisement, it's just so uncharacteristic for them it raises an eyebrow.

Strategic changes are necessary! I don't see anything scary. Maybe this could be some attempt to expand the business and gain more users on the platform.

They could do that by making some major software improvements. That site is God awful.

Wow this is a dream come true for every freeroll grinder :). Hope they work on getting a gambling license for germany,
cant wait to grind on that site. :geek: I have noticed, that other sites like Pokerstart and partypoker have started to reduce
or completly stop providing freerolls. Even 888 poker only gives tickets instead of cash winning in there newest freeroll promotion.
The WPT marketing team may currently see a fantastic chance with freerolls and cash prizes as their rivals lowers theirs.

I've been playing on the WPT frequently, and frankly, I really enjoy playing there. It's actually the room where I currently make the most money. Cashouts are very fast, less than 10 minutes. The field is increasing frequently. Regarding the freerolls they're promoting, it's a strategy they're using, similar to the one ACR did two years ago with the $1,000 reward tournaments, and it worked. I even got one of those rewards by eliminating a woman who was broadcasting games half-naked. I didn't particularly like her broadcasts, but I won one of those $1,000. In my opinion, the WPT freeroll structure is more like bingo than poker, but that's okay. The site itself has some issues, but not many, and maybe they'll fix them in the near future. It's very heavy on both PC and mobile, and they should add a window for you to take notes on the players. Anyway, I don't think the WPT is going bankrupt; on the contrary, I think they're on the right track.

The most basic of all. Every poker room needs a reasonable number of players to maintain itself and even to improve the platform. Much of the money they distribute in freerolls ends up returning to the room itself, as players tend to reinvest their freeroll earnings by playing buy-in or cash tournaments. Nothing unusual.

WPT has been asking for ID and address verification lately... nothing unusual happened to me about a month ago. I went through the procedure, and once approved, I can withdraw normally. It's worth noting that you need to deposit first to activate the withdrawal mode. If you don't deposit, you can't withdraw anything.

Don't believe in rumors. The withdrawals from WPT are almost instantaneous. After having your account verified and making a deposit, they don't take more than 10 minutes.



My last withdrawal was today and in 2 minutes the money was already in the account.

reason i asked is that just recently i opened an account on ggpoker and started playing so just needed some re-assurance from more experienced players and for that thanks a lot
