How we compared Stake Poker and WPT Global
Our review of the games, rakeback, software, cashier and account rules that separate these two rooms.
Our first pass made Stake Poker 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. WPT Global has the higher listed trust score at 100/100 compared with 80/100. Stake Poker lists 3,000 players while WPT Global lists 3,000. We still see a case for Stake Poker if its NLHE and PLO offering or 50% rakeback better matches the way you play.
