WPT Poker

The World Poker Tour, or WPT, was the first poker tour in the world.  The WPT Poker website aims to offer a fun, easy-to-use, secure and reliable online poker experience.

On your first visit to the site, it will ask you if you want to download the WPT Poker software.  This is an effective way to ease a customer into the world of online poker.  The site is evocative of a sophisticated gaming room, with its dark colour scheme and playing cards highlighted like neon lights.

Game Variety

The navigation of the site is uncomplicated and easy.  New customers will be eligible for a welcome bonus; an initial deposit of up to $100 will be matched by the site in ten separate parts.  There are three forms of poker available – Texas Hold’em, Omaha and 7-Card Stud.

For customers who are new to the game WPT Poker offers a range of text-based tutorials which explain the basics of poker as well as outlining basic poker strategies.  The lessons take you from the very basic rules and definitions through to the subtle skills that can help you to win at poker.  This is an invaluable resource for everyone just starting to play the game and remains useful and informative as a player progresses.

Loyalty Scheme

WPT Poker offers a rewards scheme for frequent players called Palladium Rewards.  In this scheme you earn WPT Points as you play in real money games.  The more points you earn, the further up the variety of levels you go, where you can earn bonuses or cash back.  The WPT Points you earn can be exchanged for a huge range of items at the WPT Points Store.  The scheme is explained fully in quite simple terms on the site, including how you earn the points and how the rewards vary at the different levels.

Games & Promotions

The promotions at WPT Poker offer a range of different challenges and rewards.  For some it may be the chance to play at a live WPT event, while for others the big money prizes offered will be the attraction.  There is also the ‘Monthly Million’ held on the first Sunday of every month, and you can qualify for as little as $1.

Tournaments are where poker players can really test their skills and WPT Poker offers a fantastic range of both scheduled and ‘sit and go’ events.  Scheduled tournaments require that you register, whereas with ‘sit and go’ events it is a case of pulling up a virtual chair and enjoying the game.  The buy-ins for scheduled tournaments start at $1 and go up to $530, depending on the event.

The heart of WPT Poker is live events, and the site gives you a link to learn more about tournaments that may be taking place near you.

Overall, WPT Poker is an excellent website, particularly for more experienced or regular players, offering a strong list of promotions and tournaments that will keep you entertained and challenged for a long time.
