ClubWPT Gold Replaces Dual Currency With Chips and Paid Hand Analysis

The overhaul frames purchases as training tools to address growing state scrutiny of sweepstakes poker.

Doug Polk has recently added a WPTClub Gold patch to his shirts, selling Upswing Poker and joining as an ambassador.

Overview

  • On September 24, the site removed Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins and launched a system built around Chips and solver-powered Hand Analysis credits.
  • All Sweeps Coin balances were converted 1:1 into Chips, which are used to enter games and can be redeemed for cash.
  • Hand Analysis activates on voluntary hands only when credits are available, using the Lucid solver acquired with Upswing Poker, with Doug Polk now promoting the platform.
  • Chips can be obtained via credit purchases or promotional methods including mail-in requests, and the prior play-money mode tied to Gold Coins has been discontinued.
  • The shift comes as California’s bill targeting dual-currency sweepstakes awaits the governor’s signature and a similar measure is pending in New York, with reporting noting debate over whether the new structure is a substantive change.
