WPT Poker Review

As a relatively new site, it's good to know that you're in fact dealing with the biggest name in gaming behind the WPT Poker site; bwin.party, a merger company (since 2011) between gaming power houses Bwin and Party Gaming, both highly reputable brands also to be found on Max Poker Bonus. In fact, WPT Poker shares the Party Poker network, guaranteeing players and games nearly all the time.

Unfortunately, the WPT Poker bonus is not one that attracts many big players, but then again that's really an advantage for recreational poker players. On first deposit you'll get an additional 100% up to $100, rewarded in parts of $10. Many players, however, don't choose WPT Poker for their bonus, but for their promotions, as they run numerous of satellite tournaments to the World Poker Tour, of which WPT Poker is the official presence online.

WPT Poker Bonuses and Promotions

Like we already wrote in the introduction of this WPT Poker review, it's rewards and promotions why players choose to play at this online poker room.

The WPT Poker reward programme offers the ability to collect points which can be redeemed for all kind of goods to be found in the WPT Poker Store. You'll earn points for all real money poker games. After finishing playing, WPT Poker updates your balance, and you'll see your points balance grow. I would advice you to save as many Reward Points as you can, as the more you spent at once, the better the exchange rate will be.

So how many Reward Points will WPT give you for playing? Just remember number 'two', as you get 2 points for every $1 in generated rake, as well as 2 points for every $1 in paid tournament fees.

And which goods can you get when you want to redeem your Reward Points? Besides merchandise, tournament entries, gift certificates and cash, the most remarkable item is bonuses, which is a nice addition to the somewhat lower first deposit bonus only up to a maximum of $100.

Besides the rewards programme, WPT Poker offers regular (ongoing) promotions, as well as periodically reoccurring promotions. For instance, three regular promotions are:

• Steps Challenge - where you will have to progress through a couple of stages of Sit & Gos before playing the $500 buy-in final, with the opportunity to win as much as $2,000 for a buy-in of $3
• Flat Fee STT - In this promotion WPT introduced a flat fee for all buy-ins of $200 and above, meaning the tournament fee for a $500 buy-in STT is only $10.
• Bad Beat Jackpot - When playing cash games you can choose to sit down at a designated Bad Beat Jackpot table. From every pot, WPT Poker takes $0.50 which will be added to a progressive jackpot, which in turn can be won when you lose with quads eights or better (some restrictions apply). Obviously, these jackpots may run up fairly high, and are definitely a welcome incentive to play.

The better periodical promotions at WPT Poker are usually those offering entries into World Poker Tour live events, which are held in casinos all over the world. Package winners are usually rewarded with the buy-ins which easily run up to $15,000 a piece, travel and accommodation, as well as spending money. Numerous of WPT winners have qualified themselves online, and WPT Poker is the right place for it.
