WPT Branded Online Gaming Site Taking Bets

WPT Enterprises and WagerWorks have recently unveiled the latest addition to the online poker and casino mix, WPTonline. WPT Enterprises has already become a household name in the world of live poker, and while it is a relatively late entrant into the virtual poker world, it is obviously banking on the clout of its brand to bring in the customers.

If you have ever played poker at another online poker room, you will know exactly what to expect with WPTonline. The card room hosts the standard games: Hold’em, Omaha, Omaha H/L, 7 Stud, and 7 Stud H/L. Single table and multi table tournaments are available around the clock. WPTonline also holds satellites to give players a chance to win seats at official WPT events worldwide. Graphically, WPTonline is nothing special, unless you get excited about the WPT logo in the middle of the table.

WPTonline also offers the players the opportunity to play numerous casino games, including 11 slot varieties, 8 video poker options, 17 bingo games, as well as blackjack, craps, roulette, Caribbean stud poker, three card poker, and baccarat. The graphics and sounds on these games are fantastic, and the game play is extremely smooth and easy to learn. The casino games do not require a download and load very quickly.

WPTonline is based in the UK, so the currency used is the British pound. Unfortunately, citing United States law, the WPTonline does not allow residents of the US to play for real money.

In an effort to attract new players, WPTonline is offering the usual first deposit bonuses (in both the poker room and casino), refer-a-friend bonuses, a free WPT satellite entry, and a new player freeroll. So far, the attraction has been minimal, as player traffic at WPTonline is very low. Time will tell if WPT will be able to breakthrough in the online game as it did in the live version.
