Poker is one of the most popular social network games played over Facebook and something would seem missing if something as mainstream as the World Poker Tour wasn’t present for a piece of the poker action.
Since its release, the free WPT Facebook application has expanded to also accommodate MySpace users.
Facebook’s World Poker Tour application developed by Hands on Entertainment, appeals to both experienced and novice Texas Hold‘em 7 card poker players.
WPT features both regular, tournament tables and draws over 500,000 players monthly, and it is easy to see why, this poker company is eager to bridge the link between free play and real play.
Offering players the chance to win fantastic prizes such as WPT tournament poker chip sets, admission WPT Boot Camp Battle@ Sea Cruise, and a 7-night VIP poker trip for two on the Mexican Riviera.
Players of this app have the interesting option of creating avatars, earning a multitude of achievements, such as Days Play Streak and Largest Pot Won, and sending friends free poker chips, cupcakes, lucky pennies, and other thoughtfully useless gifts.
Once the $20,000 free chip sign up bonus is exhausted, players can continue to earn by signing up for affiliate offers or winning various shootout tournaments by gambling certain stakes at tournaments. Poker members can also go shopping on the app’s website, and earn chips for every few dollars spent on select websites.
Table buy-ins range from 80 to 400 with differing table speeds, while tournament tables start at 2,000 and provides sweepstakes entries.
Player support is excellent and optional player surveys offer chip bonuses in exchange for player opinion. Members can also follow WPT announcements on Twitter and download WPT applications to their iPhone, iPod, and iPad.
