Overall
If you've heard of the television show World Poker Tour that aired in over 60 countries, then you are already familiar with the entertainment family group of WPT Enterprises. They brought the game right into your living room, showing you all the glamour and excitement of the world's most popular game of cards.Now you can join in online! They are fairly new, which means lower traffic numbers right now (they do not disclose the amount of real money ring game & tournament players) but they have really cool software and good support backing them, so I think that they'll do really well…. and so will you!

Card Game Choices
The variety of games offered at World Poker Tour is good. But other than Texas Holdem you'll find very few tables of Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, 7 Card Stud and 7 Card Stud Hi-Lo. As of right now you can play Texas Hold'em in No-Limit and Pot Limit versions, while the others are simply available in Pot Limit.

Gameplay
The table stakes are a bit on the low side, but I'm sure once they get more traffic up that a more wider range of gameplay will be available. The tournaments have much higher stakes as they really seem to want to focus in that area.

Soft Competition
Due to the low traffic numbers and fantastically low stakes tables, you'll find a lot of newbies holding their hands.They are really trying for a 'more professional' feel game, but as of now World Tour Poker is mostly run by amateurs. This is a great thing for new players, drawn in by the television show and wanting to try the game themselves… and for the pro who wants to pop in and make some cash.

Deposit/Withdrawal
World Poker Tour prides itself on offering top security for all your transactions, so feel safe to deposit via accepted forms of Visa, Visa Electron, Visa Delta ^ Switch Debit cards; as well as NETeller, Visa or Mastercard Credit cards.Withdrawals are sent to original form of payment unless it was a Credit Card, then they send a Cheque.

Interface
I found the software to be really good, with some great visuals and sounds. The lobby is easy to navigate, shows you all kinds of stats (like how many people are up playing right now, who is at which table, tournament status, etc.) and makes it really easy to choose a table to play at. The games move pretty fast and you can always view the flop percentage or rate of hands per hour to decide which table best suits you.

Rake
The rake at World Poker Tour is higher than average on the smaller stakes games, a better deal (about 5%) on the higher stakes tables, and they have the 'no flop, no drop' rule so they don't take rake on flopped hands OR tournaments.

Incentives

There are a wide variety of incentives on offer when you join WPTPoker

Tournaments
Word Poker Tour has a nice set-up for tournaments, and I'm sure once the numbers get up there it will be a very good online poker tournament website.They offer SitandGo's, Lingfield Park Satellites, WPT Satellites, as well as a decent lineup of other tourneys.

Support
The support at World Tour Poker was very friendly. Emails were answered within a few hours and phone operators were prompt.They could offer live chat support or even Toll Free phone numbers, but maybe once they've grown a bit they will.
