Our review of the games, rakeback, software, cashier and account rules that separate these two rooms.
Our first pass made PPPoker and WPT Global look closer than they are. Once we separated the welcome offers from the everyday product, the meaningful differences were traffic, game access, tracking tools and account friction.
We would start with WPT Global. The listed trust score is tied at 100/100, so we did not use it as the tie-breaker. PPPoker lists 15,000 players while WPT Global lists 3,000. We still see a case for PPPoker if its NLHE and PLO offering or 0% rakeback better matches the way you play.
