WPT Global No Rake on MTTs

Do you remember how WPT Global offered its tournament players 100% rakeback on their tournament entries during March, doing so the rake generated to fund three massive freerolls? Well, throughout April, WPT Global players buying into tournaments will see 100% of their buy-in go towards the prize pool because WPT Global is scrapping tournament rake for four weeks!

WPT Global announced 100% rake-free tournaments on April 1, leading many online poker grinders to wrongly believe it was an April Fool's joke. However, the promotion is not a joke. It is very real; WPT Global will not charge rake on its tournaments from April 1 to 28.

Since bursting onto the scene, the online poker site has always shown generosity to its players. Such generosity and value are one of the reasons for WPT Global's meteoric rise. The month-long promotion could not have come at a better time for WPT Global players because the WPT Global Warm Up festival runs from April 19-28, and having no rake charged will help swell the prize pools during the series.

How Does the 100% Rake Free MTTs Promotion Work?

Players do not have to do anything to receive value from this promotion except to buy into their favorite tournaments. Fire up your WPT Global account, find a tournament you want to play, buy in, and your entire buy-in will go into the prize pool. If you play a $5.50 MTT, all $5.50 goes into the prize pool, not $5, and WPT Global keeps $0.50 for rake. Similarly, the full $320 is put in the prize pool, not $300, and $20 is retained as a rake.

WPT Global does note that there may still be a few tournaments that have rake charged during the promotional period (April 1-28), such as qualifiers for live events, online Day 1s, and some tournaments set up by WPT Global's affiliates. These tournaments will have their rake clearly indicated in their lobbies.

Help Yourself to an Incredible WPT Global Welcome Offer

The No Rake MTTs promotion is only available at WPT Global, so now is the time to join the fun at WPT Global if you do not already have an account.
