WPT Global app UI glossary: what every button does
This glossary lists the buttons and messages you’ll run into most often in the WPT Global app, grouped by screen. The left column shows each label exactly as it appears in the app, so you can match it to what’s on your screen.
Labels are taken from app version 1.5.19. Some wording may change slightly in later updates, but the meaning stays the same. For poker terms (positions, stats, tournament terms), see the poker glossary.
The first screen you see when you open the app. The main menu is at the top or bottom, and the game list is in the middle.

What languages does the WPT Global app support?
In version 1.5.19, you can choose from 8 languages, English, Español, Français, Português, 日本, Tiếng Việt, 한국어, and ไทย. English is the default.
What's the difference between Sit Out, Stand Up, and Cash Out?
Sit Out keeps your seat and stops dealing you cards. Stand Up leaves your seat so you're just watching. Cash Out settles your chips at the table back to your account balance and takes you off the table. If you're just grabbing a drink, use Sit Out. If you're done playing, use Cash Out.
What is Pace?
Pace (Pace Hold'em) is WPT Global's fast-fold cash game. You can quick-fold at any time and go straight to your next hand without waiting for the current one to finish. After each hand, all players are randomly reseated at new tables, so the pace is much faster than a regular cash game.
How are Micro, Low, Mid, and High divided in the lobby?
Cash games are grouped by big blind (in USD). Micro is 0.50 or less, Low is over 0.50 and under 4, Mid is 4 to 20, and High is over 20. Tournament filters are grouped by buy-in instead, with different ranges.
