If you play WSOP through Facebook or have your account connected to Facebook, you have the option to buy chips directly through the Facebook platform. Some players actually prefer this route because it uses Facebook’s payment system, which they might already have set up. Here’s how to do it.

Before You Start
Make sure your WSOP account is linked to your Facebook account. If you originally signed up for WSOP through Facebook, you’re already set. If you signed up through the app or another method, you can link your accounts from the settings menu inside WSOP. You’ll need a Facebook account in good standing to complete purchases through this method.
Step 1: Open WSOP on Facebook
Go to Facebook and find the WSOP app. You can search for it in the Facebook Games section or navigate directly to the WSOP page and open the game from there. Make sure you’re logged into the Facebook account that’s linked to your WSOP player account.
Step 2: Go to the Store
Once you’re in the game through Facebook, look for the Store or Buy Chips button. It’s usually visible in the main lobby interface, often in the top area of the screen or accessible from the menu. Tap or click it to open the chip purchase options.
Step 3: Select Your Chip Package
The store will show you available chip packages at different price points. Smaller packages cost less, larger ones give you more chips per dollar spent. Choose the package that fits your budget. If there are any active promotions, you might see bonus chip amounts displayed alongside the standard amounts.
Step 4: Complete the Purchase Through Facebook
When you select a package, Facebook’s payment system will handle the transaction. You’ll be prompted to confirm the purchase. Facebook accepts credit cards, debit cards, and PayPal, depending on what you’ve set up in your Facebook payment settings. Follow the prompts to confirm the payment.
Step 5: Chips Are Added to Your Account
After the purchase is confirmed, the chips should appear in your WSOP account almost immediately. If there’s a delay, give it a few minutes and then refresh the game. If the chips still haven’t shown up after 15 minutes, check your Facebook purchase history to confirm the transaction went through, then contact WSOP support if needed.
Things to Know
Prices for chip packages are generally the same whether you buy through Facebook or through the app directly, but it’s worth checking both if you want to compare. Facebook sometimes runs its own promotions on in-game purchases that can result in bonus chips or discounts, so it’s worth buying through Facebook during those windows.
Also keep in mind that Facebook handles the payment processing here, not WSOP directly. If you have a payment issue, you may need to work through Facebook’s support system in addition to or instead of WSOP’s support team.
That’s really all there is to it. The process is straightforward once your accounts are linked and your Facebook payment method is set up.
