If you prefer - and to speed up the process of getting any prize money mailed to you – you can always fill out and submit the above W-9 form now. But you will only be issued a 1099 form at the end of each calendar year if your total winnings for the year are $600 or greater. (Please note that you are not required to submit a W-9 form unless your cumulative annual winnings are $600 or more in any given calendar year.)

Please allow 4 weeks for processing once all required information is received.

Your prize will be processed upon receipt of proof of eligibility as outlined above. We will contact you via email if any of the requirements have been unmet, or if you are ineligible for any other reason. If you meet the eligibility requirements, we will advise you of when you should expect your prize to be mailed or shipped.

Tournament Points (TPs) are used to buy into VIP tournaments on ClubWPT. All players start with a fixed amount of TPs (500) upon opening a VIP account. They cannot be reloaded, but will be automatically “topped up” once per day. TPs can be used as buy-in for certain tournaments and may be awarded for certain tournaments. TPs are non-transferable and have no cash value.

In order to cut down on player absenteeism, any player registered for a tournament at ClubWPT will be automatically eliminated twenty (20) minutes after the start of the game if no action was ever taken in that time. As long as one (1) action is taken within that time frame, you will not be automatically eliminated. So it would be advisable to at least take your seat and fold a hand, then sit out in order to avoid this action.

VIP Members can win large cash prizes and wonderful merchandise with ClubWPT - we give away over $100,000 in cash and prizes every month! In addition, if you refer your friends to join the Club, you can earn hundreds or even thousands of dollars!

VIP Members can play in both single-table and multi-table tournaments. At the beginning of each tournament, every player starts with the same number of chips, and the tournament continues until one player has accumulated all of the chips. Some tournaments are cash tournaments, in which the top performing players win cash prizes, while others are satellite tournaments, in which the top performing players win seats to larger prize pool tournaments. There are also tournaments which offer merchandise prizes. These prizes are not transferable.

You can take advantage of the free two-week trial membership by signing up for a VIP membership. You will be required to provide a credit card or bank information, though you will not be charged during your free trial period. Simply cancel anytime within your first 14 days, and you will not be charged. If you are enjoying our poker tournaments, do nothing and your membership will automatically continue for as long as you choose to remain a VIP member. See Terms & Conditions for complete membership details.

In order to cancel your VIP Membership, please contact us at (702) 430-9706, Monday through Saturday, between the hours of 11:00 AM EST and 11:00 PM EST.
