How to Add Friends on WSOP

In World Series of Poker, playing solo is a slow grind. The game is designed to reward social players. Each friend you have is a potential source of daily free chips through gifting.

Here is the step-by-step guide to filling your friend list.

Method 1: Facebook Friends (The Gold Mine)

This is the most powerful method. If you connect your WSOP account to Facebook, your entire friend list who plays poker will automatically appear.

Open WSOP settings.
Tap "Connect to Facebook".
Accept the permissions.
Bonus: You usually get a connection bonus of 500,000 to 1,000,000 chips just for doing this!

Don't want to spam your real friends? Join "WSOP Chip Exchange" groups on Facebook to find other players looking for friends.

Method 2: Adding Players at the Table

Did you just play a great hand against a rival? Add them!

Tap on their avatar at the poker table.
Click the "Add Friend" / + Icon.
If they accept, they will appear in your buddy list.

Method 3: Using Your Referral Link

You can invite people who don't even play the game yet.

Go to the main lobby.
Look for the "Invite" button (usually near the bottom right).
Send the link via WhatsApp, Messenger, or SMS.
When they install and reach Level 5, you BOTH get a massive chip bonus.

Why Do You Need Friends?

It's simple math. You can send and receive Gift Chips every single day.

1 Friend = ~20k chips gifted.
100 Friends = 2,000,000 chips daily (depending on your club level).

It is practically free money just for logging in.

Summary

Don't be a lone wolf. The fastest way to build a billion-chip bankroll is to have a small army of friends sending you gifts every morning.

Gifting Etiquette: Keep the Chips Flowing Both Ways

A big friend list is worthless if nobody on it actually sends gifts. Gifting in WSOP is a two-way street, and the players who receive the most are the ones who give the most. Treat your buddy list like a poker table: nobody keeps a seat for the player who only takes.

The game caps how many gifts you can send and collect each day, and those limits reset on a daily timer. The exact numbers shift with updates and your club level, so don't obsess over them. Just hit the send to all button once a day so you never leave your cap on the table.

Send first, every day. Active players notice who gifts back and quietly drop the ones who don't.
Use send-to-all instead of picking friends one by one. It takes two seconds and keeps everyone happy.
Prune dead weight. If someone hasn't logged in or gifted in weeks, replace them with an active player.
Don't beg. Spamming friends with chip requests is the fastest way to get removed from their list.

Where to Find Active Players (and Which Requests to Ignore)

The best hunting grounds are the official spaces: the game's official Facebook page, the comment threads under its posts, and established fan groups where players swap friend codes. Post that you're looking for daily gifters and you'll usually fill your list fast, because everyone there wants the same thing you do.

Be picky, though, because scammers work those same spaces. Real free chips only come from inside the game or from official promo links, like the verified ones we post on our homepage. Treat any friend request that arrives with a sales pitch as a red flag.

Promises of millions of chips if you "verify" your account on an outside website. Chip generators are scams, full stop.
Requests for your password, email login, or payment details. No legitimate player needs any of that to send you a gift.
Anyone offering to buy or sell chips. Chips have no cash value, and trading them for money breaks Playtika's terms and risks your account.

Privacy and Safety When Adding Strangers

Adding strangers is completely normal in social poker. Most of a healthy gifting list is people you've never met. Just remember that friends can see whatever your profile shows, so if you connected through Facebook, check what your public profile reveals before you start mass-adding.

Keep the relationship inside the game. A gifting buddy has no reason to know your phone number, your email, or anything else about your real life. If someone gets pushy or abusive, use the in-game options to mute, remove, or report them — our play settings guide walks through where those controls live.

And the obvious one: never hand over your account, no matter what a stranger promises to do with it. "Boosting" offers are just account theft with extra steps.

Fold Friends Into Your Daily Chip Routine

Friends aren't a one-time trick. They're a recurring income stream, and it pays best when you collect on schedule. Build them into a simple daily loop and the chips stack up on their own:

Log in and claim your daily bonuses.
Open your buddy list, collect your gifts, and send to all.
Grab the day's verified free chip links before you sit down.
Play your session with a bankroll you didn't pay a cent for.

Run that loop consistently and a modest friend list will quietly outearn any lucky spin. For the full picture on stacking every free source together, see our ultimate chip guide. Until then: send your gifts, protect your account, and play responsibly — the chips are free, so the game should stay fun.
