Does World Poker Tour Use Real Money?

The World Poker Tour (WPT) is a series of international poker tournaments and associated television series broadcasting the final table of each tournament. It was started in 2002 with the aim of increasing the visibility of poker.

The WPT is sponsored by ClubWPT.com, a subscription-based online poker service.

PRO TIP:World Poker Tour (WPT) is an online poker game but does not use real money. Instead, it uses virtual chips to represent money in the game. Players can purchase additional virtual chips with real money if they wish, but any winnings are also in virtual currency and cannot be exchanged for real cash.

ClubWPT.com allows members to play for real money and prizes without risking any of their own money.

The WPT has come under scrutiny from some quarters for allegedly using fake money. In response, the WPT has said that its use of fake money is in line with other poker tournaments and that it is necessary to use fake money in order to protect the integrity of the game.

The bottom line is that the World Poker Tour does use real money, but it also uses fake money in order to protect the integrity of the game.
