Online poker in the United States has become a swirling maelstrom of legal questions, with the federal government targeting some of the world's largest sites. Depositing money on a client that caters to US customers may not appear to be the wisest move for players all over the world. Enter ClubWPT, a unique online poker site that avoids any legal snags to provide the game they know and love with the backing of the renowned World Poker Tour. The site uses a sweepstakes system, which sets it apart from the hordes of illegal online poker sites that have existed for so long.

ClubWPT is distinct from other online gambling sites in that you are not permitted to make any deposits, and you cannot obtain a Club WPT Poker bonus because none are available. Players do not have credit card-funded accounts; instead, you pay a monthly fee to access the software. For about $20 per month, you get a slew of Tournament Points that can be used to buy into various cash events. These are similar to exclusive freerolls, with money-added prizes varying in size based on the number of TPs used to enter the event.

Every day, each player begins with 500 TPs. If your balance falls below this amount, it is automatically replenished overnight. Of course, you can earn more TPs by winning tournaments, allowing you to enter more high-value events. The prize pools in these tournaments aren't spectacular, but a good player can easily turn a profit on their $20 monthly investment. The largest prize pool currently available is $10,000, which pays out $1000 plus a stack of TPs to the winner.

ClubWPT does not offer any cash games. The software includes a full suite of play-money games, including cash tables, but that's all there is to it. Even if you don't have a Premium account, you can still download and play these pretend games. Guests can also earn some cash by participating in the $10 Opens. Every day, a couple of these freerolls are held to give players a taste of what the ClubWPT experience is all about.

However, full members receive more than just a few tournaments. Signing up will give you access to a variety of pro tips, Las Vegas guides, and the ability to watch ad-free World Poker Tour seasons. The site functions more like a private members' club than the open gambling halls represented by established online operators.

Club WPT claims that you will "never lose a dime playing online poker" with them. That is nearly true, though technically, you are paying them $20 per month for the privilege of not losing any dimes. Still, the savvy tournament player at ClubWPT can make a small profit, and there's no need to worry about your money being taken by an overzealous federal prosecutor.

The ClubWPT client is dressed in the World Poker Tour's deep blues, as one would expect. It has a slick appearance, but it is fundamentally similar to the online poker clients you are already familiar with. And when it comes to playing, it's the same experience you've had a thousand times before. With no instant play client, accessing their download is the only way to participate. Mac users are thus left out in the cold.

Those who can get in will see a standard layout, with big buttons to switch between Tournaments, SnGs, and what they call 'Games.' The final option is their suite of play money cash tables. There's also a button to switch to Play Money games, which turns the tournaments section into yet another free-for-all zone.

There is a selection of tabs within each buttoned area to help you refine your table selection. Aside from the table list, there are several buttons for sections such as My Account and Support. It's a very simple setup, but given that ClubWPT has fewer options than the average site, its Spartan nature is ideal.

When you start playing, you'll notice that the table is adequate, if not excellent. The most important thing is that none of the cards or bets are obscured, but the buttons for selecting your action are a little cluttered. Each table has a textual hand history viewer available on demand, and each window can be resized manually or converted into a mini-view. The ClubWPT client has a lot of options. The preferences window for their client is brimming with options, from changing table colors to opening an Extended Chat pane.

The best thing about ClubWPT isn't that it's open to players from the United States. That is certainly excellent, but even more appealing is the fact that none of its customers have any pressing legal concerns. Americans can play for money on the site without fear of it being stolen at a later date. With US online poker in shambles, ClubWPT should see a surge in these players in the coming months.

Tournament action is the only type of action at ClubWPT. There are no money cash games, so if you're a ring game grinder, this may not be the place for you. Given its unique configuration, the site operates on its network. There's a slim chance it'll expand its player base to include other sites or join an existing network.

The $10 Opens are the most popular events, as they are the only money events that non-premium members can participate in. These are low-price pool freerolls that won't attract the savvy player because the fields are large with a low payoff. In general, the number of entrants for ClubWPT events is lower than that of a freeroll but higher than that of buy-in events with comparable prize pools on larger sites.

ClubWPT has the potential to be one of the internet's fishiest tournament sites. They are not only the last refuge for law-abiding American players, but their setup is also extremely unappealing to grinders. You couldn't make enough money on ClubWPT to support yourself. The number of games available is severely limited, and there are no cash tables to speak of.

That leaves the recreational player, who wants to blow off some steam with a quick tournament and maybe make a few bucks in the process. If you're serious about making money online, ClubWPT should not be your first port of call, but it could be a good source of extra income if you choose your spots wisely. You must keep track of which tournaments provide the best value for money and ensure that you play enough to justify the monthly fee. If you're one of those casual American players, sign up, have some fun, and don't be concerned. You'll be in good company.
