Want to earn rakeback while starting the action? WPT Global's Table Starter Boost does exactly that, rewarding the first player to fire up an empty cash game table with rakeback for their entire sessio

Step-by-Step: How to Claim Table Starter Rakeback

Claiming your Table Starter Boost rakeback on WPT Global is straightforward. Follow these steps to make sure every session counts:
  • Step 1: Log In and Open the Cash Game Lobby
    Head to the WPT Global cash game lobby and navigate to the High tab to find eligible tables.
  • Step 2: Find an Empty Table
    Look for tables showing 0 players seated. These are your opportunities — no players means no existing table starter.
  • Step 3: Sit Down and Play Your First Hand
    The moment you take your seat and play a hand, your table starter status is activated and rakeback begins accumulating automatically.
  • Step 4: Stay at the Table
    Keep playing to maximize your rakeback. Remember:
    -Breaks of up to 5 minutes are allowed
    -Do not disconnect or leave the table, as this ends your session
    -Reloading chips after busting does not deactivate your status
  • Step 5: Collect Your Rakeback on Monday
    Rakeback from all qualifying sessions is paid out every Monday at 2 PM CET directly to your account. No manual claiming required.
Pro Tip: Target off-peak hours when the lobby has more empty tables. Opening multiple sessions across different days compounds your weekly rakeback significantly.

Rakeback Rate, Eligible Stakes and Games

Sit at a High tab cash game table and you unlock a powerful 40% rakeback rate for your session.
  • Minimum stakes: $25/$50/$100 NLHE or 100/200/400 CNY NLHE, 200 CNY Short Deck
  • Eligible games: NLHE and Short Deck cash games
  • Excluded: PLO4, PLO5, Flash games, and heads-up only tables
If you're a PLO or PLO5/PLO6 player, remember that WPT Global still offers 30% rakeback on all PLO cash games.

Table Starter Boost Rules: What You Need to Know

WPTG table starter status isn't 100% guaranteed. A few things can cost you your rakeback eligibility mid-session:
  • Disconnecting and reconnecting voids your starter status
  • Sitting out for more than 5 minutes ends your status
  • Leaving the table ends the session entirely, stopping the rakeback accumulation
  • If all players leave, the session resets and a new table starter can be claimed
On the flip side, if you bust and reload your chips, you keep your table starter status and rakeback keeps ticking.

Designed To Support Cash Game Regulars

WPT Global’s new Table Starter Boost promotion is tailor-made for cash game regulars who are online during off-peak hours when tables are emptier. 

If you're comfortable playing Short Deck or NLHE and opening action from scratch, the 40% rakeback rate at high stakes is among the best ongoing rakeback deals available on any major poker site right now.

Don´t miss out on the new Luxon Pay Deposit Bonus as well.
