Email from this week:

"Dear partner,

After careful consideration, WPT Global has decided to make some changes to commission structures.

These changes will allow us to spend more money growing MTTs, Global Spins, Omaha and other games, and create better incentives for partners to bring the players that add the most value to our ecosystem.

In our quest to grow as quickly as possible, we have sometimes created the wrong incentives. The result is that WPT Global spent the most money, often double or more, to acquire and keep players who a) already knew about us; b) generally have a negative impact on the value of the other players on the network; c) already retain very well because they cannot win as much anywhere else.

We need to rebalance things. Hence:

  • From August 1st, where a player is categorised by our FairGame AI technology as a highly-skilled professional player, we will no longer pay revenue share for those stakes.
    • Example: If a player is categorised as a highly-skilled professional player at $1/$2, but is uncategorised or a novice player at $2/$4, we will not pay revenue share on rake paid at $1/$2, but we will pay revenue share on rake paid at $2/$4
    • Please find here an FAQ document on the pro-labelling

At the same time we would like to incentivise MTT, Omaha and Global Spins play, and:

  • While previously affiliates did not earn revenue share on multi-table tournaments, we will introduce a new commission structure allowing affiliates to earn money on MTT players. Please refer to this presentation for more details.
  • To help incentivise traffic to PLO and Global Spins, we will not charge affiliates for leaderboard costs, freeroll overlays and MTT tickets from August 1st.
In the near future we’ll also be expanding our internal VIP program to deliver tailored VIP treatment and rewards to more players, as well as introducing the first phase of our loyalty program, Table Starter Rakeback. This will be paid directly to the first two players at a table, regardless of their FairGame categorisation, as a reward for starting a new game.

We appreciate that for some of our partners, this will not be good news. However, we hope that you will understand that our previous commission structure was not sustainable and that a change was necessary.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Best regards,"
