Most WSOP sessions are fine, but every now and then someone at the table decides to ruin it for everyone else. Whether it’s trash talk, spam, or genuinely offensive messages, you don’t have to sit there and take it. Here’s how to mute or report a player quickly so you can get back to the cards.

Muting a Player During a Game
The fastest way to mute someone is directly at the table. While in a game, look for the offending player’s avatar or name. In most versions of WSOP, you can tap on another player’s avatar to see a menu with options for that player. One of those options should be Mute or Block Chat.
Once muted, you won’t see that player’s chat messages for the rest of the session. The mute is immediate and doesn’t require any confirmation from the other player. They won’t know they’ve been muted.
How to Report a Player
If a player is being seriously abusive, spamming, or violating the game’s terms of service, muting is just the first step. You should also report them so WSOP’s moderation team can review the behavior and take action if warranted.
To report, tap on the player’s avatar at the table and look for a Report option in the player menu. You’ll usually be asked to select a reason for the report from a list (harassment, offensive language, cheating, spam, etc.). Select the appropriate reason and submit the report. You can often add a short note describing what happened.
Reporting Through the Player Profile
If you want to report someone after a session has ended, you can sometimes find them through your recent game history or through the player search. Navigate to their profile and look for a Report or Flag option there. This works the same way as reporting during a game.
Blocking a Player
Some versions of WSOP also offer a block option that goes beyond muting. Blocking a player may prevent you from being placed at the same table as them in future sessions, depending on how the matchmaking system works. Check the player menu or your friends/blocked list in settings to manage blocks.
Using the Help or Support Center
For serious violations, especially if someone appears to be using third-party software, exploiting bugs, or engaging in coordinated cheating, you can report through WSOP’s official support center. Go to Settings, then Help or Customer Support, and submit a detailed report there. Include as much information as you can: the player’s username, their ID if you have it, and what happened.
What Happens After You Report
Reports are reviewed by WSOP’s support team. They won’t typically tell you the outcome of a specific report for privacy reasons, but repeat offenders do get action taken against their accounts. Reporting isn’t pointless, it builds a record of a player’s behavior over time.
The bottom line: mute first to protect your experience immediately, then report if the behavior warrants it. You’re there to play poker, not deal with someone else’s attitude.
