What are Tournament Points?

Tournament Points (TPs) are used to buy into VIP tournaments on ClubWPT. All players start with a fixed amount of TPs (500) upon opening a VIP account. They cannot be reloaded, but will be automatically “topped up” once per day. TPs can be used as buy-in for certain tournaments and may be awarded for certain tournaments. TPs are non-transferable and have no cash value.

My game keeps freezing on the “game loading” screen when I try to play.

If your game or table fail to properly load, it is most likely due to the way your browser stores data, including images, in its cache. Clearing your cache will remove this old data, and any conflicts this old data may cause, and allow you to continue with your game. For your convenience, here are some helpful resources to walk you through the steps of how to clear your cache:

Why was I automatically eliminated from a tournament I was registered for? I logged in late and found I was already kicked out...

In order to cut down on player absenteeism, any player registered for a tournament at ClubWPT will be automatically eliminated twenty (20) minutes after the start of the game if no action was ever taken in that time. As long as one (1) action is taken within that time frame, you will not be automatically eliminated. So it would be advisable to at least take your seat and fold a hand, then sit out in order to avoid this action.

How do I connect my Facebook account?

Log in to ClubWPT and go to “My Account.” Near the bottom of the right-hand column, you will see an option to connect your Facebook account. When you click on the link you’ll receive a pop-up from Facebook to share the information listed on the approval screen. Approve the request to link your ClubWPT and Facebook accounts.

How do I disconnect my Facebook account?

Log in to ClubWPT and go to “My Account." Select the unlink option from the bottom of the right-hand column. Unlinking your Facebook account will not affect your ClubWPT account.

What can I win?

VIP Members can win large cash prizes and wonderful merchandise with ClubWPT - we give away over $100,000 in cash and prizes every month! In addition, if you refer your friends to join the Club, you can earn hundreds or even thousands of dollars!

How do tournaments work?

VIP Members can play in both single-table and multi-table tournaments. At the beginning of each tournament, every player starts with the same number of chips, and the tournament continues until one player has accumulated all of the chips. Some tournaments are cash tournaments, in which the top performing players win cash prizes, while others are satellite tournaments, in which the top performing players win seats to larger prize pool tournaments. There are also tournaments which offer merchandise prizes. These prizes are not transferable.

How does the Free Trial work?

You can take advantage of the free two-week trial membership by signing up for a VIP membership. You will be required to provide a credit card or bank information, though you will not be charged during your free trial period. Simply cancel anytime within your first 14 days, and you will not be charged. If you are enjoying our poker tournaments, do nothing and your membership will automatically continue for as long as you choose to remain a VIP member. See Terms & Conditions for complete membership details.
