People need to come to this better product.
I like their tourney structure and nightly low-buy-in guaranteed tourneys, but if I'm going to be playing the same opponents as on UP (which is what it seems like now) I prefer the lower rake and superior rewards program at UP.

For WSOP to earn my cash game business, they're going to have to stock the pond significantly as I don 't expect much value from the rewards program and (for me) it will require significantly softer games to compensate.

I also object to their dormant account policy and expiring reward points as these are policies based solely on corporate greed and only deprive players of value rather than providing value which I believe should be their job in exchange for the revenue we generate.

UP works just fine for me and, frankly, I like those guys. I continue to believe that the majority of features absent from UP are in the pipeline and will be added to the product in time - I've been waiting for years to play online again, a few more months won't kill me.

Yes, I love a lot about the WSOP client (waiting lists, player tags & notes, better slider, the list goes on and on) but for me, all of these features improve the aesthetic of my playing experience but don't really do anything to improve my score and I personally don't want to pay more for what is, at it's core, an identical product (being able to play poker online). I'm reminded of being able to order a cocktail of choice in the Paradise Poker client for some reason - that was fun...

In any event, I'll continue to watch the action on both sites and I'm pretty sure I'll be playing the majority of my tournaments on WSOP but, for now, UP has my cash table business. I'm just a low-stakes guy so the 11% rake difference and significant shortfalls of the WSOP frequent player program make a real difference.

Just my two cents...

There is no way to view action points. You must email support and ask how many you are at.

If you're bonus hunting, you can see where you're at in 'My Account' or in the upper left corner of cash tables. It doesn't show a total balance, but it's something.

Alternatively, you can track how much rake you've paid and multiply x2.

5 APP's YES!

In the tournaments the synched breaks are great but you need to make one adjustment. The 5 minute break clock should not start until the last hand is finished, that way everyone gets a full 5 minutes and sometimes lots of things need to be done in that 5 minutes and 4 minutes is not enough.

That's the way most sites do it.

Something just happened in the tournament that seemed wrong but maybe I am wrong.

A guy was sitting out for awhile and he happened to be all in on the bb while still sitting out. Is his hand auto dead and he is out of tournament or does he get to be all in and look at 5 cards and possibly win that portion of pot even tho he was sitting out?

On here they let him be all in and he won but that doesn't seem right, live obviously his hand would be dead and lose. And it seems like poker stars it would have been dead too.

Your password can only be eight characters long and you can't use any symbols in it? Is this not a glaring security issue?

Sorry I'm a noob and hadn't installed the updated real-money version of the client yet.
09-20-2013 , 10:21 PM
Still weird that your password can't contain symbols...

A note has been sent to our product team to review. If you happen to have the hand number, or the tournament you observed this in, please send us a PM. Thank you.

Well one reason there are few players is lack of Sprint verification. I refuse to buy a new phone and will just withdraw my money. I can play on up just fine.

So I'm not sure if it was my phone signal was weak or I had the phone wifi on or maybe should have tried a few more times but apparently century link does work.
I can be playing on UP and still not get onto WSOP. The online chat rep verified that my phone was locating. The software gives a different error for a phone problem than for a IP address problem. I emailed support. The rep here PM'd me for my screen name. That was a few days ago. No response. No change.

I believe Century Link does work for most people, just like Cox worked for most people. They said the Cox issue was a data coding problem or something and got it fixed.

This is also how it is handled at 888 poker (the base software package for WSOP.com). If I remember correctly, that is also how Full Tilt handled all-ins. To the best of my recollection, only Stars handled those hands by killing them.

In real life poker, it would depend on your tournament director, but technically there is no violation of the rules to handle it either way.

Either the no HUD rule just went out the window or somebody is doing a hell of a copy/paste job.

Do we have to deposit before we receive the 100k freeroll ticket?

Is anyone here one of the 62 who have been able to register for the Oct 25th $100K freeroll? I've been registered since May and I don't have a ticket for the tournament...yet?

I think so. I didn't get the email for my 100k freeroll ticket until after I had deposited Thursday. I had been registered all summer.

I registered at WSOP also and I deposited on Tuesday and still no ticket but there are a few dozen registered already.

For what it's worth, the launch problems for WSOP.com seem less than the launch problems were for UP's launch. I'm loving the software here and I'm sure most of the technical problems like connecting with Sprint and Century Link will be resolved soon, just like they got resolved on UP.

I'm definitely done playing on U.P. and don't feel vested in it just because I'm almost cranberry status. When WSOP.com gets it's advertising campaign rolling soon, then we will see a lot more players. I lol'd at myself when I realized I had exactly 51 pages of hand written notes on players at UP....so loving being able to have onscreen note taking again like most online sites. Other things I love on WSOP - wait lists, instant top off on tables, multiple poker games besides Texas holdem, tourney structures are better, graphics are smoother and faster, better betting buttons, seat selection, no silly avatars, contributed rake, and the client doesn't boot you off when you leave the computer for awhile. Oh and I like the auto log in without having to type in my name and password each time. Probably missed some other things but these are enough for now. I sound like a shill right? lol. GL WSOP.com and thanks for getting most things right.

I registered in July at the WSOP, deposited and have been playing but no ticket yet...

I never received an email with a "Claim link" to unlock the seven $100 Welcome Week Freerolls. I also cannot register for the 100k Freeroll. I made a deposit and got verified shortly thereafter. Otherwise the software is good, hoping the traffic picks up!

Thank you for offering Mac support!
