My MTT results at WSOP.COM:

________$2-$5 R&A satellites ______________$3-$7 R&A Daily MTT's
________won seats /total played____________final tables /total played

2017: ___8 / 20 , 40%______________________ 14/ 85 , 8.2%

May:_____16 / 37, 43.2% ____________________ 5 / 48, 10.4%

June: ____7 / 34, 20.6% ____________________1 / 40 , 2.5 %

Before the May 1st meger, I played on WSOP.COM Nevada for three years, mostly for fun. I've found these two types of tournaments very profitable and basically variance-free. My results in May are pretty much in line with the ones in 2017. But things changed drastically since June 1st.

I'm trying to figure out why suddenly I can't see a winning day during a full month at such a small stake level. Is there an influx of good players over such a short time? Did any of you MTT regulars experience similar down swings since the merger?

Couple questions:

1. I filled out the online form to link my total rewards to my wsop.com account, is there anyway to verify that went through correctly? How long does that usually take?

2. Is there still any sort of "status matching" with live total rewards tier levels? I know you earn TCs (the whole point of the linking) by playing on wsop.com but like if I reach "Champion's Club" level for the year do I get auto diamond status or anything?

Oh yeah I forgot my one other question, what are the actual RB%s for the various tiers? Is this info on their site somewhere? I couldn't find it. The whole APP/Reward points system is very confusing lol.

champions club is 20k apps or 20k TR tier so yes u would reach diamond.
apps get matched to tier and deposited into ur TR acct around the 3-5th of each month. Log in to TR and check.

What sucks is that your December Tier Credits earned on the site won't count toward your Diamond run, etc. because its not credited until 2019(Jan 5th, etc.) That is what they confirmed at Total rewards after talking to a Supervisor.

but your dec last year counted for this year so it balances out.

Well according to this article: https://www.njonlinegambling.com/wso...-online-poker/

The rakeback percentages are as follows:

Player (Monthly) – 0-199 APP’s ($0-$99 in rake) = 0% rakeback
Bronze (Monthly) – 200-749 APP’s ($100-$324 in rake) = 8% rakeback
Silver (Monthly) – 750-1,499 APP’s ($325-$749 in rake) = 20% rakeback
Elite (Monthly) – 1,500-19,999 APP’s ($750-$9,999 in rake) = 25% rakeback
Champions Club (Annual) – 20,000+ APP’s ($10,000+ in rake) = 32% rakeback

Anyone smarter than me ran the #'s on this and confirmed it?

that is confirmed and reload bonus are 20% rakeback on top.

I wouldn't use the personal insult, but I agree with the sentiment and feel strongly the issues at the site have gone on for too long to continue to ignore. It's time for regulators to investigate and I encourage anyone with unresolved issues to contact gaming regulators.

I got banned from WSOP.com after speaking out about its problem gambling protocol issues and attempts to get out of paying me my cash deposit and the $11 I won. The claim is that I'm a security risk due to KYC regs, which apparently wasn't a reason to ban me for the first three or so years I was a customer without a bounced transaction.

This banning happened even though I've been in online poker industry since 2001 without a scandal, helped uncover and put to light several online poker scandals, lobbied for regulations, submitted to numerous document checks, offered to go cash-only and have been a customer of Caesars for 15+ years, many of which I was a Diamond player. I've never owed any of them a penny.

The problem does not seem to be with Caesars, a company I have significant respect for. I feel like the issue is with 888, which provides many of the site's services. I plan on contacting senior management with the company with several quotes from this thread and from Twitter, in addition to my awful experiences.

I never dreamed this is what I was lobbying for. If I had known what we'd get, I never would have done it.

I'm putting together a presentation for regulators after the holiday. I'm going to shop the story to local Las Vegas media. It seems like a story the R-J would love.

It's time Nevada residents and regulators know what's going on at this site. It is a matter of serious public concern. It affects tax revenues at a time the state's school systems are broke, problem gamblers, and Nevada's reputation as a leader in gaming.

what do we need to be made aware of? I have been playing there for a few years... Heavy volume last 2

My biggest issue is their three attempts to get out of paying my last cashout. I withdrew my entire balance and they reversed it and wanted me to keep playing. I find this to be a gross violation of basic problem gambling protocols.

When a player wants to stop gambling, trying to push them back to the tables takes advantage of those with compulsion issues IMO. How many people put in this position go back to the tables and blow it or waste more time on playing when they don't want to?

They claimed something like I did not give enough action. I turned my cash deposit over about 15 times. How could that possibly not be enough action?

GA question #14 asks: Did you ever gamble longer than you had planned? The answer to this should not be "Yes. Because the casino made me."

After I pushed back on that, they wanted me to provide documentation on my cash deposit. If they had some issue with where my $400 cash originated, which doesn't make any sense, waiting until I withdraw to ask about it is absurd, as that request borders on the impossible. My account was $0 when I made the deposit so there was no other money to be concerned about beyond the cash they happily accepted at the Rio cage.

Once I explained that, they went back and found some $25 echeck deposit they wanted me to document that had long cleared to point I couldn't prove it anymore. The fact that it didn't bounce, nor did any others from this account over three years or so, and I had already submitted a bank statement on this account as well as an ID on several occasions, makes this an unreasonable request.

The time for WSOP.com to inquire about this was at the time of the echeck transaction. Waiting until later, months after it cleared, when they accept a cash deposit and I'm trying to cash it out is definitely not the time, as far as I'm concerned. It feels like a freeroll to me.

Even if they wanted to push the issue on this $25, reverse it and pay me the other $384. I found it difficult to trust them after the other run around. It had all the makings of a phishing scam or stall job to me.

I finally had it with them and demanded payment or else I would file a gaming complaint. They paid me, then emailed me claiming that I requested that my account be closed so they did. I never made any such request and told them to reopen my account.

They then told me that I violated T&Cs and I was banned from all CIE sites. I find it easy to demonstrate that they were dishonest by saying I requested it, then changing the story when I called them on it. I expect better from a licensed Nevada gaming operation.

This doesn't even cover all the support issues I've encountered or money lost from their geolocation failures that they will not refund.

Banning me from the state's monopoly site for requesting a $411 off a $400 cash deposit and pushing back on their attempts to get out of paying me is unacceptable. I feel strongly that a site that hassles players this badly, especially through means that could abuse problem gamblers, needs to be set straight by regulators.

Does anyone know where you can track your progress towards the rewards tiers?

So before I activated my deposit bonus I could track my progress to the champions club level in the top left corner of any cash game table I had open. But now it instead shows progress towards the next 10$ of my deposit bonus. (also its quite buggy, the progress bar constantly gets stuck when I'm in a session and then after the session I see I cleared several levels of it but thats really beside the point). Where do I go to check my continued progress towards champions club?

Is there like a web portal or something?

in game display settings there is an option for showing the status bar... but u cant have both bonus and status bar showing, 1 or the other.

Hey guys, is there a July reload bonus? I thought I saw a promotion for it two weeks ago and then when I was trying to find a code I couldnt find the promotion on the website. Thanks for the help

Wow. Read this entire thread. Haven't posted in the Zoo for 10 years. Was thinking about signing up at WSOP.com, but thought I should do some research first.

I've lived in Vegas a long time, but it seems like I'll have nothing but problems opening an account and maintaining it.

I also wanted to make sure I got the proper bonuses and rakeback, if any. All I could find was a "Get10" bonus code. The software does ask for a bonus code.

So, I guess my other questions are: should I sign up? Is it worth the hassle? Can I fund my account with a debit card? Do I have to use a credit card? Are there fees? Can I go down to the RIO and sign up by depositing money with them? From what I read, I'm pretty sure bonuses and rake-back are paid automatically.

Are they going to make me jump through all kinds of hoops to open an account? Will I have to fax them IDs, etc.? Or is it simply a matter of downloading the software, funding and start to play? I did an IPS check of my computer and it shows Hollywood California, is that going to be a problem?

Has game selection improved? Has the "merge" with the other two states been smoothed out?

I see Doug Polk playing at WSOP occasionally, and the functionality seems to be acceptable.

Like I said, I read the entire thread, but I still have some questions.

Any help appreciated.

noticed PokerstarsNJ lowered a few Guarantees on some 5$-20$ freezeout mtts.

would be cool if wsop would just copy/paste those FO's to the schedule (with bigger Guar). + add one or 2 PKOs.

but i guess this schedule is never going to be altered meh.

thanks so much

i had a couple dollars in rakeback vanish overnight, i think this happened last week too. anyone else?

Quick question,

I was wondering if anyone knew if blackjack winnings on WSOP are considered to be slot winnings (aka getting a W2G for certain amount wagered/won)?

Came across a thread in the party poker nj forum about it and I was wondering if anyone had any info on what it was considered to be on WSOP.

Hey guys,

I am not a conspiracy theory person at all, but has been a lot of chatter about possible collusion on accounts and a few players consistently
Ending up at the final tables. Recent players at tables have complained that variance is off and that the same players are always finding themselves in the money and that one player made a direct complaint to wsop and they replied with “ happens everywhere” whatever that means. Has anyone see anytbing supscious recently with the site? I’ve noticed that players up a lot of money the site tend to buy in late reg, then will double buy add on and just end up dominating the tourney. I get players are good and better then others but it seems like wsop starting to heavly favor certain players and heavly go against certain players. My real question is has anyone been experiencing anytbing that causes for concern?

i onyl play 1 tourney a day so i dont see what they are seeing... but wouldnt the better players tend to make more final tables than others? I havent seen anything that looks fishy in cash games and sngs.
