WPT Global Total Cash Games Traffic

As an example of player activity on WPT Global for this article, we collected data on a number of players from the room lobby as of 15:00 UTC on August 6, 2025.

Hold’em Cash Games on WPT Global

WPT Global offers 13 stakes of No Limit Hold’em at HU, 6-max and 8-max tables with blinds in both USD and CNY.

Almost all stakes have a Bomb Pot feature that is activated randomly during gameplay. When Bomb Pot is activated, each player puts up a 8 bb ante into the pot and the hand starts right away on the flop with no pre-flop.

One of the main unique features of WPT Global NLHE cash games is the large ante tables, where the ante size is increased for more action.

As a result, NLHE tables have become the most popular cash games on WPT Global — for example, the top 5 stakes by number of players as of 15:00 UTC on August 6, 2025 were:

Omaha Cash Games on WPT Global

For those who like to play with more cards in their hands, WPT Global offers two types of Omaha — PLO4 and PLO5 — with stakes ranging from $0.01/0.02 to $50/100/200 at 6-max and 8-max tables.

These tables do not have any special features, except for the ability to play in one of two national currencies — US dollars or Chinese yuan.

PLO4 and PLO5 aren’t as popular as NLHE but players can find action there almost all day long. For example, top 3 stakes by number of players as of 15:00 UTC on August 6th, 2025 were:

Be aware that the number of PLO players is directly dependent on the “hot hours” of players from different regions, especially Asia.

Short Deck Cash Games on WPT Global

Hold’em with a shortened deck is surprisingly popular on WPT Global, partially due to its high popularity among Asians.

It features 12 stakes 6-max and 8-max tables, as well as a large number of Bomb Pot tables that operate identically to NLHE tables.

Short Deck (also known as Six Plus Hold’em) doesn’t use cards 2 through 5, so players play with 36-card deck and slightly different rules:

• Flush beats Full House.
• Ace is used as both high and low card for straights A6789 and AKQJT at the same time.
• There are no small or big blinds — all players post an ante and then the button bets the second-largest ante.

These changes make 6+ Hold’em more volatile, but still dynamic and exciting, attracting many people who want to have a good time.

For example, on WPT Global top 5 stakes by number of players as of 15:00 UTC on August 6th, 2025 were:

There are only four limits in fast poker on WPT Global: three in NLHE 8-max and one in SD 4-max. Three of them are in Chinese yuan and only one in US dollars, but this does not prevent them from being the second most popular cash games in the room.

All three NLHE stakes in Flash cash games are popular with players — for example, their traffic as of 15:00 UTC on August 6, 2025 were:
