WPT Global rakeback
WPT Global rakeback is a flat rate with no levels: 30% of your rake back on PLO4 and PLO5 cash games, and 40% for players who open high-stakes No Limit Hold'em tables from $25/$50 or Short Deck tables. Nothing expires and there is no points ladder to climb.
WPT Global averaged 1,793 cash game players in October 2026, fourth among the rooms we track. Payouts are made weekly, on Mondays, without a wagering requirement.
How WPT Global rakeback works
| Game and condition | Rakeback |
|---|---|
| PLO4 and PLO5 cash games | 30% flat |
| Opening NLHE tables at $25/$50 and higher | 40% |
| Opening Short Deck tables | 40% |
| Other games | not covered by the published program |
The 40% rate rewards players who start tables rather than join running ones. Rooms use this kind of "table starter" incentive to keep high-stakes games running.
WPT Global rakeback example
| Monthly rake | At 30% (PLO) | At 40% (table starter) |
|---|---|---|
| $300 | $90 | $120 |
| $1,000 | $300 | $400 |
| $4,000 | $1,200 | $1,600 |
Because the rate is flat, the first dollar of rake earns the same share as the last. That makes WPT Global easy to compare with other rooms in the rakeback calculator.
