WPT Global Review

WPT Global is a well-rounded iGaming platform that combines an online casino, sports betting, and, of course, a strong focus on poker. Originally, WPT was all about poker (after all, WPT stands for “World Poker Tour”), but it expanded into casino games a few years ago, offering a broader experience. The site is user-friendly, with everything from poker tournaments to live dealer games from top providers like NetEnt and Evolution.

One of the things I appreciate is the 100% up to $1,500 Welcome Bonus, which gives a great start whether you're into poker or casino games. The bonuses often combine perks like deposit matches, free spins, and poker tournament chips, making it a great value for new players.

WPT Global, launched in 2022, operates under a Curacao license, building on the World Poker Tour’s legacy from the early 2000s. While seeing such a comprehensive platform is great, I think it still shines brightest for poker enthusiasts. Offering popular games like Aviator and Big Bass Crash is a nice touch, adding variety for casino players.

WPT Global Bonuses and Coupon Codes

WPT Global is a major international poker, casino, and sports betting operator. As such, its bonus structure is complex, right from its casino welcome bonus package.

WPT Global Welcome Package

The welcome bonus you can redeem at WPT Global contains poker tournament tickets, free spins and, of course, deposit matches. The amount and the added benefits depend on how big your first deposit is:

Note: The exchange rate shown is in Rands, but please keep in mind that it may fluctuate depending on current market conditions.

Let’s break down what you actually get:

• Global Spins is a short-handed, no-limit hold ’em poker variant where the top prize is a random amount decided right before the game starts.

• MTTs are multi-table tournaments that you can participate in, with the prizes depending on the buy-in

• Sunday Slam is another tournament that takes place on Sundays

Of course, there are some caveats. For example, the free spins are only available in some regions, and in some cases, it is given in Casino Coins instead of real money. If you’re unsure, contact WPT Global’s support for details.

Summer Festival MTTs

You can earn casino bonuses at WPT Global by participating in their Summer Festival multi-table poker tournaments (MTTs). Depending on the tier you reach, you’ll get increasing benefits and bonuses to be used in the casino:

And if the casino bonuses are not reason enough for you to check out WPT Global’s Summer Festival, here’s another argument for you: it has a total prize pool of $8 million (R144 million)!

Network Promotions and Casino Tournaments

You can earn even more cash and bonuses by participating in tournaments and prize drops at the WPT Global Casino. These are mostly network promotions by Pragmatic Play giving away prizes for:

• Slot games: you can enroll on the famous Drops and Wins tournament and prize drop

• Crash games: The “Crash & Win” tournament rewards 300 players of Big Bass Crash and Spaceman each day. The tournament has a $300,000 prize pool.

• Blackjack: playing live dealer blackjack comes with big rewards in the Blackjack League, which has a $1 million prize pool each month

• Roulette: Playing Lucky 6 Roulette Madness rewards 8,000 lucky players each week with a share of the $1 million prize pool

Originally, WPT (as in World Poker Tour) was an exclusively poker-focused service, and it still is - in large part. This means that it works through an online poker client that you have to download and install on your computer or smartphone. So, if you want to register and log into your WPT Global account, you need to download and install the app first.

   1. On desktop computers, you’ll download and install the Windows application from the website

Casino Games at WPT Global

WPT Global has an impressive collection of 780 casino games from mainstream and less-known providers. You’ll get to explore online slots, live dealer games, skill games, crash games, and live casino games.

WPT Global Game Providers

WPT Global Slots

There are 788 video slots available at the WPT Global Casino. The vast majority are Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, and Red Tiger slots, but you’ll find quite a few of them that are less common and probably more exciting to play. We especially enjoyed Animak’s mobile-first Godzilla: The Slot game that perfectly captures the legendary kaiju movie’s atmosphere and Wild Fusion, Golden Hero’s innovative game with a novel format and loads of Wilds. 

WPT Global Live Casino Games

There are 113 live dealer games available at WPT Global from Evolution Gaming, Oryx Gaming, and Pragmatic Play. Aside from the usual suspects, it has quite a few live game shows, and a few classic, RNG-powered table games, too. There’s a featured game as well: Evolution’s Stock Market trading simulator. Who thought stocks could be so much fun?

• Roulette games are at their home at WPT Global, with 46 tables from Evolution and Pragmatic Play. 

• There are 23 Blackjack games available, from first-person to “speed” games

• The 9 poker games you can play at WPT Global cover everything from Video Poker to Side Bet City and Andar Bahar

• The 19 game shows you can choose from include popular shows like Crazy Time, exotic games like Dragon Tiger, and classics like Monopoly Live

• There are 29 table games available as well that don’t really fit into any other category, with titles like Top Card, Casino Barbut, Sic Bo, Casino Patience (Klondike Solitaire), and Mega Ball.

Deposit and Withdrawal Methods at WPT Global

WPT Global happens to accept South African players but it is aimed at a global audience. This means that the payment methods you can use for deposits and withdrawals are not selected to cater to a South African audience. Most of the payment methods available are global, just like the casino. The casino doesn’t list any deposit fees but the payment processors may require them - do check their Terms before you make your payments to avoid surprises.

You can use cryptocurrency to top up your WPT Global account. The list of supported currencies is pretty impressive:

• Bitcoin (BTC)

• Ethereum (ETH)

• Litecoin (LTC)

• BitcoinCash (BCH)

• Dai (ERC20)

• Dogecoin (DOGE)

• Cardano (ADA)

• Alogrand

• Solana (SOL)

• Tronix (TRX)

• BinanceCoin (BNB)

• PayPal USD (ERC20)

• Matic (POLYGON)

• Ripple (XRP)

• USDT

• USDCoin

The list of available withdrawal methods is shorter but still impressive. You can withdraw to debit cards, eWallets, and cryptocurrency, with the withdrawal times ranging from instant to a few hours or days. 

WPT Global on Mobile

WPT Global is one of the few top-tier online casinos not available on a mobile browser. Instead, it has native apps for iOS, Android, and Windows, too (although the latter is little more than a custom-built web browser loading the app from the web). 

How to Play at WPT Global on Mobile

On iOS

• Head over to the App Store

• Search for WPT Global

• Download, and install

• Log into your WPT Global account

• Make a real money deposit

• You’re done!

On Android: 

• Head over to the WPT Global website

• Open the ☰ hamburger menu in the top right

• Select “Download”

• Download and open the APK file

• When prompted, select “Install” to install the app

• When prompted, allow the app access to the device’s location (only when using the app)

• When you’re done, you can open the app

• Register or log into your WPT Global account

• Make a real money deposit

• You’re done!

WPT Global App

The design, menu, and navigation of the WPT Global app are a lot like its desktop version: clean, easy to navigate, with just a few issues. The only thing we didn’t like about it was that it logged us out pretty often, probably due to network problems. Otherwise, it’s one of the best casino apps we’ve ever tried.

Bottom line: Should you play at WPT Global?

Poker, sports betting, and casino all in one? What’s not to like? You should definitely give WPT Global a try, especially if you like to explore casino games from providers you haven’t tried before. But there are some caveats, of course.

First of all, remember that WPT Global is not a South African online casino. This becomes obvious especially when you look at the available payment methods: you’ll find none of the EFTs and prepaid vouchers you’ve gotten used to. Plus, be mindful of the exchange rates - deposits, withdrawals, and bonuses are all based on US dollars - and the potentially higher fees that may incur.
