There are two standard practices of modern online rooms when it comes to early registration in tournaments. The first is to boost stacks of people registering before the event starts. The second is to give them Bubble Protection, returning buy-in if they bust near a money bubble of this tournament. WPT Global decided to take the first approach and expand it. Let’s take a look at the details.

How to Boost Your Starting Stack up to 10%

Early Bird Bonus on WPT Global allows players to get extra chips even after the tournament has started. The number of extra chips depends directly on how early you register:

Period of registrationStarting stack boost

During Level 15%
During Level 24%
During Level 33%
During Level 42%
During Level 51%

Importantly, the bonus applies not only to direct buy-ins but also to registrations using a ticket, tournament entry via a satellite, and re-entries. The key requirement is that it must be used before the end of blind level 5.

WPT Global Tournaments with the Early Bird Bonus

Officially, the poker room states that the Early Bird Bonus is available in the majority of tournaments.

In reality, you still have to hunt for tournaments with bonus in the lobby — though fortunately, they are easy to identify by a special bird icon in the mini-lobby:
