So basically you can’t play on WPT if you are cathegorised as a skilled player.

I was playing 2 sessions. After that I observed lobby for 3 weeks and saw 0 tables. And even when I tried to start new table there wasn’t any action so I just withdrew and left.

You are only allowed to play decent games if you are losing or being breakeven/barely winning player. I guess you just put so called ‘extremely skilled players’ in separate pool to play against each other.

So you actually physically cannot see tables you are not allowed to play? I thought you would just be restricted from sitting but could still observe.

Today is the last day of our Warm Up Festival, which will see over $750,000 awarded! Everyone is still playing for points in our $250,000 Player of the Year promo



Satellites will run for a lot of the above today and will also start for our 100% Rakeback $7,000,000 guaranteed Spring Festival. Use any remaining Warm Up Festival tickets today!

When will a freeroll for winners of Warm Up festival events happen?

Correct.

Next Sunday. They will go into the lobby & tickets will be distributed over the next couple of days

You are not permitted to watch the table in WPTG for longer than a minute, and if you do, our security system will ban you for 24 hours.

Cool to see some reps reppin' for a site.

For the passport tickets, it mentions they can be broken up depending on which event it's used for.

Does that mean we could say use a 12.4k for a series somewhere in the world, and use it to buy into multiple events, e.g,a 2k a 5k a 2.5k etcetc. And if we don't use it all in one series somehow, can it be carried over to another?

Thanks

The package containing 12.4K cannot be broken down. Only valid for use at a single event, such as WPT Voyage or WPT Las Vegas. This kind of package will be available for use at future events.

It says that though. I read that to mean break it up

It is possible to break down in a single event, such as WPT Voyage, where your 12.4K package included the following:

-$4,000 cruise, entry to the $5,000 WPT® Main Event, $1,100 WPT® Prime, and a $2,300 travel stipend.

That's pretty awful. I hope a lot more options open up ASAP

That's not how the system works. What game are you trying to find? Let me see if I can help you - it's more likely that you were encountering some sort of technical issue I think.

At the moment, you can't see a table if there are no seats at that table available to you (for example, if you're categorised as a highly-skilled pro, and that table already has its maximum number of such players). We're changing this later this year, to make the system more transparent.

We are making changes immediately after Spring Festival which will give players a lot more options to use their passports.

That's encouraging to hear Alex!

The blurb I posted kind of suggests a few more options and flexibility than just Vegas (or cruise), and the connotations of 'passport' sound 'global', so I'm looking forward to more options.

When does the 'second chance' freeroll take place?

There was an issue with the previous setup, which has now been fixed. It is in the lobby and start 30 minutes after the Champion of Champions freeroll, at 10:30am UTC-5 this coming Sunday (5th May)

The winner will receive a Spring Festival tickets package, worth up to $5,000

Thank you. Alas, I'll be travelling, boo hoo!

Daily posts starting this weekend!

There weren’t any technical issues. When I contacted WPT support at that time, I was informed that the system operates exactly as described above, and that there is nothing to be done about it. That’s why I withdrew all my money and left.

Would you mind sharing with me exactly what support said? Either here or PM, whatever you feel most comfortable with. I want to take this opportunity to better train the team because what they told you is not correct.
