World Poker Tour has recently launched its own poker app, called WPT HOME.
Although similar in its essence, it is not another reskin of popular club-based platforms. It does plenty to innovate and provide a slightly different kind of poker experience, tailored to the player’s comfort.
These improved and unique features of the platform include a robust MTT system, with plenty of settings to customize the structure of the tournament.
This allows for Heads Up Tournaments on WPT HOME to be organized with ease.
Why Heads Up Tournaments ?
Regular MTTs are very popular on all online poker platforms. Freerolls, KOs, Freezeouts, deepstacks, turbos – you name it. There is a tournament for every taste. Well, almost every taste because Heads Up MTTs are nowhere to be seen.

The variance and luck factor is much reduced, compared to regular tournaments.
