New to rakeback? Here's what this means for you

You're already paying a small fee (called rake) every hand you play, whether you notice it or not. Signing up through the link below gets a portion of that paid back to you — same games, same odds, just less left on the table. Read the full explainer →

ClubWPT Gold isn't a real-money poker site in the regulated-market sense — it runs on the sweepstakes model, the same legal structure used by social casino apps, which is why it's available almost nationwide instead of being locked to a handful of regulated states.

Play uses two currencies: Gold Coins, which have no cash value and exist purely for practice/entertainment, and Sweeps Coins, which are awarded alongside Gold Coin purchases and can be redeemed for cash at a 1:1 rate (minimum 20 SC / $20, up to $2,500 per day).

It's branded around the World Poker Tour, and because it runs under sweepstakes law rather than state gaming licenses, it's legal in most of the country — but a handful of states block it entirely, and California runs under a special limited redemption schedule.

From My Own Play

One of the newer sites — it used to be outside the US but has since come into the US market. It's allowed in most of the country, and you're only ever playing against other players inside the US. The games are good: lots of weak regulars and lots of fish.
