WPT Global Pauses $2 Million Freeroll Series Due to Server Overload

The World Poker Tour Global (WPTG) has temporarily suspended its $2 Million Crazy Freeroll Series due to unprecedented participation. The series was originally scheduled to run until October 5, but has been put on hold. WPT Global confirmed that the promotion will return on October 1. During this pause, the operator will perform a full upgrade of its server infrastructure to ensure the platform can handle the surge in players.

All points and rewards earned up to this point will remain valid. When the promotion resumes, all players will automatically receive free entry into a Sunday $100,000 Super Crazy Freeroll, with no additional requirements needed.

The Crazy Freeroll Series initially launched on August 18 and was designed to run for 45 consecutive days. Every day during this period, WPTG would host freerolls with a guaranteed prize pool of at least $10,000. On Sundays, the operator would run Super Crazy Freerolls with a $100,000 guaranteed prize pool, of which $20,000 was reserved for the winner. The freerolls were accessible to both new and existing players. Each player received four free tickets to the Daily $10,000 Crazy Freeroll. Additional tickets could be obtained through various methods: by playing in free-to-enter satellites, which awarded seats to the daily events; by wagering at least $10 in a given week to earn five extra tickets for the following week; or by inviting friends to join via the referral program. Entry to the $100,000 Super Crazy Freeroll required players to meet certain criteria.
