The WPT Global poker rewards (rakeback) program has arrived for online poker players in select jurisdictions.
Between now and December 31st, players can earn up to 40% weekly rakeback just for being designated as a table starter.
Read on to find out more about how these incentives can help you build your poker bankroll while playing online at WPT Global.
WPT Global Poker Rewards Program: How It Works
To earn rakeback while playing a WPT Global cash game, you will need to be categorized as a “Table Starter” at a qualifying online table.
STEP 1: Browse the WPT Global cash game lobby and find an empty table (or one that has only one player seated)
STEP 2: Sit down and begin playing at that table.
STEP 3: As long as you are one of the first two players to begin playing, you will receive a weekly rakeback credit for all the action that subsequently takes place — for the duration of the session.
STEP 4: When you sit out or leave the table, the rakeback promotion ends.
STEP 5: Each Monday at 2:00pm CET, your account will be credited with rakeback earned during the prior week.
- This offer is currently active — it will end on December 31, 2024
- Breaks up to 5 minutes are allowed
WPT Global Poker Rewards Program: Rakeback Percentages for High, Mid, and Low Stakes
The percentage of rakeback that you will receive will depend on the specific stakes of each game you start.
HIGH LEVEL (minimum stakes)
$25/$50/$100 NLHE – 40%
$100/$200/$400 NLHE CNY – 40%
$25/$50 PLO – 40%
$200 CNY SD – 40%
MID, LOW, AND MICRO LEVEL GAMES
All games listed in the MID, LOW, or MICRO level tiers within the lobby will award 20% rakeback to Table Starters.
Terms and Conditions
This WPT Global rakeback opportunity will expire on December 31, 2024.
To become a Table Starter, you must buy-in and begin playing at a qualified online table.
The classification of tabs within the online poker client will determine whether you are playing at a HIGH LEVEL (40%) table or a MID/LOW/MICRO (20%) table.
The weekly rakeback will accumulate according to “attribution” percentages. Pace games — along with feature spend and insurance options — are excluded from this offer.
Disconnecting and subsequently sitting back in will result in the player losing his or her Table Starter status. However, the rakeback earned up to that point will still be awarded.
If you lose all your chips as a Table Starter but are able to reload and continue playing, then you will retain your status for the duration of that session.
A “session” (for rakeback accrual purposes) ends as soon as you leave the table, disconnect, or fail to reload.
WPT Global Benefits and Opportunities for Live Poker Players
Not only can you win rakeback benefits for the rest of 2024, you can also complete in WPT Global online satellites for a chance to earn a seat into a marquee World Poker Tour live event.
Throughout the year, the World Poker Tour holds online qualifiers into live poker festivals that are held around the globe.
This includes in-person events in Europe, North American, and even world-famous venues such as the Wynn Las Vegas.
To enter an online qualifier into a major live event, simply consult the categorized tabs shown in the WPT Global lobby.
Some events are sub-qualifiers (meaning you’ll need to win more than once to receive a seat), while other tournaments will award seats directly.
Typically speaking, the larger the online satellite tournament buy-in, the greater chance you will have at winning a seat.
