Hopped on today and the Global Poker section is not there anymore. * Edit/MH: As there are no Sponsored Forums now, their forum has been closed and locked, basically to be fair to the other sites. However, you can still read old posts there, at https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/252/g... (https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/252/global-poker/) Please use this thread for future discussions. Thank you.
Before I create one, does anyone have a template for Excel for manual session tracking? I see they've added a hand counter since I last was grinding Global for a bit, and I know they have your buy-in history that you can access, but any sort of graph or session tracking needs to be done externally. Probably goes without saying ITT, though

There are several different phone apps you can use to track. I use Poker Analytics. Comes in handy because I play live and online. Others are Poker Income, Poker Stack, Bink Poker Tracker, Poker Bankroll Tracker..... too many to name. Just search your app store

Agreed. I joined the Global discord earlier just to ask if there was any chance for any type of software to be permitted that extracts hand history data for better transparency and studying. From the sound of it, there won't be any changes in the future. Pretty disappointing.

I use Poker Bankroll Tracker for my live games. Didn't seem too applicable for online but I'll review again and also check out Poker Analytics. Thank you! Edit: Yep, Poker Analytics is definitely the way to go for external online tracking. Has more features for online than Poker Bankroll Tracker, such as table count. Thanks again.

But that changes all of your tables. People want to be able to make different tables different colors to make it easier to play different games without getting things mixed up. Or an MTT grinder may want to color code tables based on what stage of the tourney its in or something like that.

So after some digging it appears 10 royals in 71k hands is indeed pretty crazy. You should have 1 royal flush in every 30k hands or so, if you play every hand that can possibly make a royal (at least 1 broadway card) and take them all the way to the river. 10 royals wouldn't probably be too far out of the realm of possibility if you had a 100% VPIP and 100% WTSD (though still n...

I call cap homie. You aint hit no 10 royals in 71k hands. And someone that did wouldn't leave the site thats fa sho. Who hit 10 royals in 71k hands and leave poker site sayin its rigged? Aint nobody doing that bruh. Bruh, Global give me 10 royals every 70k hands all send them some happy new year gifts. You tellin me they rig for you and you leavin? 😃
any way to change the ridiculous pre-raise bet values?? or stuck raising between 3x to 10x?

I’m good without you and your HUD on here I like no assistance poker
There’s a reason soft serve ice cream is popular. It’s tasty, cheap and easy to make, kind of like a Global Poker micro stakes tournament. I entered the tournament last night, it’s the 11 cent Daily 500 SC Bonanza. A $500 guarantee that is always a lot of fun. I was tired and decided not to play, but hey, it’s just 11 cents so I decided not to unregister. Glad I did as I blinded into the money and 7x my buy in. Yes, this is how soft this field is. Now also understand, that tournament normally starts with no less than 550 participants. I had to blind down to about 130 to just make the money, and down to about 90 to make 70 cents.

They're not asking for HUDs, just a way to download HH for use in analyzing their own game. It can be done, GP just wants to remain a haven for recreational players, which is fine. There are loads of other sites you can play that allow HH download. I would also recommend checking out https://www.advancedpokertraining.com/af... (https://www.advancedpokertraining.com/aff=okiepokerplayer) as they have some of the best poker simulation games and you can download the HH from these simulated games and use them in Equilab, Flopzilla, etc for study as well.

You can anonymize the usernames of everyone but yourself. You do have access to this information, but you would have to record your sessions and transcribe each hand.

Incorrect. First of all, it's simply not the same. Either your view is skewed, or you just don't get it. The information is accessible by Global with the exclusion of opponents' player identities, but you would have to go through and manually document each hand. This would literally be a full-time job and is practically impossible. All that I'm asking for is to allow software to extract the hand histories (that are available on Global) so we can analyze our own statistics. That's it

Id also like to analyze my own statistics. And if I was able to, I obviously would. I also strongly prefer that everyone not be able to do this. So, agree to disagree

That's fair. My biggest concern is that if it isn't allowed then you know that some people will find a way to do it anyway and that gives them an advantage on Global imo.
Angst in the online poker world is pretty high right now and for good reason. Everyone should be wary anyway, it's completely unregulated and no certificates from Bionotech Labs or assurances from Chief Kanawamakee will eliminate the justifiable anxiety. One thing for Global Poker "defenders" to remember is the coup de grace for any poker site is testimonials from famous or "winning" players - i.e. shills. After years of being lied to and ripped off by these types, that's the quickest way to get the normie player pool to write you off. While I have enjoyed playing on GP for years, they need to carefully consider their steps going forward in this treacherous environment even if it's not all their fault. Actions speak louder than words.
Someone needs to look into GP and it's penchant for unreal play. I worked two weeks to build a 1k bankroll only to have all of it come down because of RTA or bot like play. I lost EVERY single flip I was in, plus got sucked out on by 3% losers on every all in play. Just not possible for OPs to be running that hot without some assistance.

The GGpoker cheating scandal shows why it is important for users to be able to see hand histories, win rates and stats in general.
And why Global Poker won't ever let it happen. They're probably colluding with their RTA players and bot farmers. At least it appears that way from the unreal number of people who play >50% VPIP and still have >50% win rates. If they allowed HH download, we could police these people, but again, it seems those behind the curtain don't want us to. I'm playing the rest of my bankroll, since they also make it almost entirely impossible to fully cash out. Along with the ACR scandal, looks like I'm stuck with Ingnition/Bovada, or just playing live. Because I'm surely not playing on GP anymore.

As a former Bovada reg, the games on Global seem a lot more fair right now. Bovada is full of RTA and collusion. I’m sure Global has its share but I’m not seeing it compared to Bovada. I am playing 1-2 levels below right now as I test it out and set goals before moving back up. I think live is going in everyone’s best interest these days though.

I have my own personal issues with GP but the specifics don't matter. Nothing has ever changed and likely never will. In any event, same, I've been playing 80/20 live the last few months after minimum 90% online play prior to that. The double whammy is live tourneys are much softer, but also "reliable" if you will.

What do you mean these days? Live poker has always been and always will be in the players' best interest. It's real poker. Online poker is not real poker. There will always be scamming, cheating, and corruption on poker sites. Global Poker is no exception. So unless you're helping run the site, have incentives from the site, or are cheating, then online poker is almost always a -EV play. I play chess every day, as well as poker, and I kid you not, I receive a message from chess.com every other month stating that someone was found cheating, and I'm given back my lost points. This is playing chess online for no money, and people still cheat, a lot. Now, think of a game that is played for money, where people have much more of an incentive to cheat. OF COURSE they're going to cheat. In fact, the majority of people playing online poker these days probably cheat in some way. Though, of course, I never get a message from Global saying they found someone cheating against me and my sweep coins have been returned. When the owners of these sites are mostly scammers themselves, then, of course, most of the player pool will cheat as well, and nothing will ever really be done about it.

Appreciate the measured reply. People have in fact found a way to do it anyway, there was a thread a while back in the old Global Poker dedicated forum (I'll try to find it if you're interested) where GP player slickric42 (you can sharkscope) had bragged about a hand extractor on twitch live stream and evidence was presented indicating he was using one. I'm guessing that's why the site changed the hand histories replayer to not allow you to see others' cards anymore. That change is pretty recent like 9 months old max.

You're absolutely right, compared to other sites right now my sense is Global is much safer game integrity wise.
IDK - States are filing lawsuits against VGW questioning the legality of the sweepstakes model. So I did a 5 year self exclusion on their website yesterday. I felt there were a lot of very strange hands played against me. I really don’t know how else to describe it. Just very strange……. Anyways good luck on Global. If they are still around in 5 years I might be back. I did the self timeout just in case I got tempted to give it another try. lol https://www.afr.com/companies/games-and-...

I parodized the name and you unintentionally and comically made my point for me. What's next, a link to the Kahnawake Gaming Commission? Let me ask you a question, other than Global's self-statement about ITech labs confimring their RNG, what evidence do you personally have of its validity and integrity? Save your breath, you have none. Thanks.
K so you are confirmed racist with your chief kanamakee comment. Yeah I obviously can’t certify their rng, boss.
I was reading through the certification process and it doesn’t seem like it would be hard to fake it out. By having accessible hand histories available to the community it would offer a greater deal of security. The biggest thing I felt with global was it was a lot more variance than other sites. We have all gone through the streak where you can’t win a hand but it seems to happen more on their website. Just my personal opinion.
If anything they made the hands less accessible.. lol… you use to be able to watch a table and then pull up the hand history. Now you can only do it if you are playing.

How much volume do you play? Statistically you need huge volume to recognize your EV . Personally I’m $-18,000 lifetime on tracked online mtts over 750 games at average buyin $80 which is some runbad but well within the variance range which means it’s an expected outcome, at least that’s how I look at it. My understanding is you need 1.5-2k games to see any indication of winrate.

It's frustrating as a player on the site to constantly hear these complaints about the RNG from people who play low volume. Is that fair?
I probably have 200,000+ cash hands on the site. Not really sure what you mean by low volume. Low stakes yes, but not low volume. Either way opinions are like *******s…. And this ******* is done with that site. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
So you have played 200k hands on the site and you believe that it’s rigged? You commented that you “ felt it had more variance than other sites”.

It was glitching this morning. It would show incorrect money in the pot preflop. It’s like it wasn’t clearing out the data from the previous hand. It didn’t affect the game as if you hit pot it would still calculate correctly. It also didn’t show the blinds that were posted in some hands and there was a little bit of lag.

I'm having the worst time getting my identity verified by Global Poker. I went through the verification process, and the site show that it approved me. I tried to access the prize redemption features and claim SC, but I kept getting error messages that I'm not approved. I reached out and apparently I sent the documents in wrong. Should be an easy fix according to the customer service email I got. They want me to just go back and re-verify. Here's the problem though: I can't. There is no option to verify for me anymore. The UI keeps telling me I'm already verified. I attached an image for clarity. I've received about 10 emails in a row from them in reply to everything I've sent and all they do is keep telling me to clear my cache, try a different browser, try a different device and just reverify. I have no clue what to do here. I want to deposit more and play more, but there's no point if I can't get through this. What do I do? It seems like the responses I'm getting are automated because none of them acknowledge the reality that I am unable to follow their instructions because their system has me locked out. Any thoughts on what to do?

A player has been identified at 50NL using GTOw live while playing. He has been absolutely destroying the games since he showed up out of nowhere about 6 weeks ago. Despite being called out in chat, continues to tank while running every single board over 10bbs. Sad state of affairs. This hand is the second hand in the screenshot, tank calls to the river and folds getting 10-1 https://play.globalpoker.com/hand/4e7f51...

I joined the discord, but it says that mods won't help you with account questions.
Ive seen people post about having trouble verifying their account in the "general" or "product feedback" channel on the GP discord and gotten their problem resolved/ expediated by one of the mods in the past. IDK if they still will, your mileage may vary...

Yea, I saw someone mention this in the GP discord. He said he reported it to GP security. what should we look out for? besides excessive tanking? are these guys mostly in the cash games or MMTs?

Tanking, unintuitive hands to call or raise with, and generally just playing unlike a human being.

See? You were telling guys to just "get good" the other day. It's beyond that. Timebanking has increased exponentially, the difficulty of the games has gone up noticeably, and some players have even openly admitted to using GTOWizard in game - explaining how they view it the same as using a HUD.

It really isn't beyond that, assuming a fair game. Some people just love to bitch though. Timebanking has increased exponentially, the difficulty of the games has gone up noticeably, and some players have even openly admitted to using GTOWizard in game - explaining how they view it the same as using a HUD.
Despite people tanking, the difficulty of games going up, and some players using GTOw while playing, the games are still crushable and it's not debatable. I personally stacked this guy using GTOw twice in the last 2 days. But I don't want to play with cheaters, who would? If the sites don't police this, the games will die completely, and no one wants that either. Hopefully global freezes his account and bans him quick before he takes any more money out of the pool.

The biggest sign is the player finding lines the pool doesn’t find, but are GTO, like checking back a street and raising a probe with thin value. Once you see something like that, combined with burning time bank for trivial decisions, you can be sure they’re using wizard, but you can just use wizard’s lookup tool to be sure.

Man, it sucks that this is happening more frequently. 1st it was pbaby and now its this guy. kinda makes me wonder how many more are out there. These 2 dont even seem 2 care if they get caught....

Yes, it sucks, because real cheaters will be more deceptive and not so obvious. The good news is that as long as there are 2 or more fish on the table, you should be able to be profitable, even if a reg is using RTA, because in theory, you can exploit the fish for more than an RTA, and the RTA user won't gain a ton off of you in most spots with a reasonable strategy. An RTA user would crush you heads up, but in a ring game, not as much. The big issue is that with all of these tools available, fish like pbaby go from losing heaps to being winners in the game, so it kills the ecosystem fast. In other words, a solid reg using RTA won't kill the games as fast as a fish getting RTA.
My bankroll is big enough for 20nl and 50nl on here. Combining this with WPN is some proving ground. I haven't even tried the "new" 25z pool on there yet. I'm sure it's as filthy as it gets online lol.

I've been going round'n'round with GP on this issue They say they're not at fault and nobody else has had this problem.
I've been a somewhat reg for a while now and only the last couple months I get booted off and signed out in middle of playing (cash games) then when I log back in I'm no longer at the tables. This happen to anyone else?
I haven't had the auto sign out issue, but in the past I had heavy lag at ring tables and "some games unavailable" message in the ring games lobby while DC'ing from tables. This was before I switched my ISP from AT&T to Tmobile hotspot. This was suggested to me by a user in the discord channel who did the same. He said he knew many others with the same issues using Global with ATT or Verizon internet.

Man it just sucks that I'd be using a VPN to represent where I actually live, in a state where it's available. I guess it's not worth it then.
Explain your situation to global support. You're not doing anything wrong playing on global in your state. The rules say you can't play on global in WA state which you're not doing. Address verification will prove you're in OR. I would definitely explain your unique situation though so it doesn't come back to bite you later.

Why post this and not say his name? It was 'bronbron' or something like that. I believe I was at this table and observed the chat/accusations.
Their some playas bad fish bad reg on that site never lose and they win so much playin bad keep on with them bad beats on everyone I check itech lab out to see wuzzup with this rng. Just cause I profit on the site don't mean something fishy aint going on bruh if some playas never lose. Certain id names bruh I lose every single flip that I now counted 207 times i lose to these id names in a row the last few weeks bruh before i finally won 1 time today JJ vs AK. They won so much on flip I counted. When will win I win one. Yall tell me how that is possible they won over 200 flips in a row like yooo? I won finally against them non losing playas. And they bad beat all my hands 1 out, 2 out, 3 out with ease. They ain't losin. So check this out from itech labs. They admit its not a secure algorithm. I am tell yall on acr and iggy combined I aint seen so many big hands after 4 hrs on each sites thats 8 hrs like i do on global in only 2 hrs. they hit flushes, sets, straights non stop bruh. Same id names. Its like 10 id names they hands is like magnets on them boards. It aint just rta no more. That site website needs updates bruh. They aint secure like iggy and acr. It is more then just that rta stuff with them cheatin. I ask global to show hand history bruh. We can't prove these playas is cheatin without hand histories. We need them so we can show global wuzzup with these playas. I play almost 2m hands on that site and they got ab out 10 ids names im tellin yall their hands dont' miss. It don't matter u got AA it gonna get cracked. I just wait to see how the hand gonna lose now. Its every single time to the same id name. Don't make no sense. Now I see itechs says it aint secure. So change that rng is a good step to fixin this problem we got these bad awful playas never losin building big stacks daily on pure luck that aint luck cause they aint losin yall. itech labs- 5) Mersenne Twister (MT) The last one, MT, is not a cryptographically secure algorithm

Ya bronbron i reported his azz too. They just keep lettin them play ignore everything we gotta say about them. Playas say get betta. Naw yall need to get betta if you can't see they cheatin bruh. He a whack losin playa on acr can't hang. global aint got the security acr got so he jumped ship to global now he can't lose ya ok.
Two more fairplay checks in less than 10 minutes last night. He was two tabling sitting on 600bb stacks. Seems to only be running spots he's not sure of, and/or bigger pots (3b).

If you self-excluded from the casino, you won't be able to see the star. It happened to me as well.
fyi, the solution I came up with for myself is to self-exclude from casino for 7 days at a time. Wakes up on Thur or Fri. Star is there. Play game. Claim prize. Rinse and repeat.
Montana - If you are from that state, you probably got an email. But if you did not, you probably want to cash out soon. Global adding to the exclusion zone.

Yall these playas im tellin yall don't lose can't lose. Last 2hr I am all in AA 5 times and KK 4 times to these playas that don't lose all pre flop no post nuttin like dat. Cash games they won all 9 time way behind. Play like azz can't lose. That don't even count all in pre with like AK vs AT they won them too. So yall lets get this straight bruh we got id names on global poker can't lose. Not just today yall but for like a year they be doin this bruh. I aint ever seen anything like dis on ignition or acr bruh. Why is bron bron still playin? How many of us gotta report before he get that ban hammer? wuzzup with this site?

bruh if someone used rta on all spots homie the tables would break they aint gonna do that. Its obvious he usin it and global aint bannin him is the problemo homie. And I am tell yall when I go all in vs him his hands magnets on them boards too. All in pre yall AA vs 77 he flop set of 7s, next AK vs AQ he flop nut boat, next KK vs A6s he got nut flush bruh. In less then 10m on 1 table he can do dat somehow bruh. Yall can do that? I never done that in texas holdem bruh. But its all sesh against mr miracle. Hit a set, nut flush, nut boat 3 hands in a row all in, less then 10m. So not only he use rta he defies variance homie. He wasn't doin that on acr though. Why he left he lost. But hes invincible on global. He beat the variance and he can rta everyone yall. His hands are magnetic he should change his id to magneto. Thats all any of us see magnitism to his 2 hole card bruh
Yall look at this. So this NEW playa come in play super tight yall but when he play loose he wins. It don't make no sense. Check this out yall in mtt. He don't even think about this call yall in mtt. He snap it off. He hits this straight. So these playas that don't lose do this all the time on global. I am talkin the craziest way to lose they do it non stop on this site https://play.globalpoker.com/hand/7b9269... (https://play.globalpoker.com/hand/7b926931-cd33-3610-b261-23a541fb8cc9) Remember I told yall I lost 207 flips in a row I counted before I beat one of these playas bruh? So now we flipping this handf. Guess what happens yall. I am losin right? https://play.globalpoker.com/hand/a50229... (https://play.globalpoker.com/hand/a5022991-5e38-3989-b441-8f6916107944) But I only remember him from cash games yall. Cause home boy bad beat 3 times in cash games pre post don't matter. Again he play super tight then all of a sudden yall he call all ins with hands like 5To and has the nuts bruh on the river. Not 1 time but a bunch of times like he know the board run out bruh. What is going on with this site yall? Why we got playas on the site not losin? What tight playa bruh call a jam in mtt with 5To? No tight playa does that but this guy does not just mtt but cash and he win?? Yall can't tell me that aint a crazy a tight playa gonna call jam with 5To in mtt for his mtt. It aint no rebuy period. The crazy part yall he took no time bank like he knew he had the winnin hand. He couldn't wait to call my shove like yooo?

I could give my thoughts but they would inevitably be met with one of the following: "You're just sad you lose, bro" "Nothing suspicious about this at all" "The games are great bro, quit crying" And so on and so on.
Has anyone here withdrawn a large amount without issues before? I’m doing my first ever withdraw for 10k and I’m a little nervous. I submitted the request Friday and haven’t received an approval yet.

Ya they're great with withdrawals, never had a problem.
I just don’t play on there… I have had some crazy bad luck on other sites too, but not as much bad luck as global… it could just be variance!

Still waiting on this. I asked why it's taking so long because their site says 24-48 hours. This is their response: Please be advised that your gift cards will be approved along with your redemption request via the bank method as the total amount of your Sweeps Coins including the remaining balance needs more time for additional review and approval.
I won a lot recently so I guess they are reviewing? Pretty annoying honestly.

Rakeback was a horrible idea. When that $$ was going into social media advertising w/ good deposit bonuses and splash pots the games were much better.

I know it's better to have a live game going with a lot of money going into pots but if they're overall just really passive, isn't this a nice, low variance way of putting together a profit? I mean, at a certain stake level simply stealing the blinds repeatedly has to be profitable, no?
Global keeps changing the SNG lobbies to some weird format that is worse than the one they usually use. It throws off SharkScope tracking too.

It's been like this for 2+ years. They have rakeback now but doesn't change the quality of games much long term....They have a dep bonus right now actually, Free $50 cash bonus if you dep $150 (doesn't include the ~2% fee bank charges).....Expires in 2 days.

Games are still profitable but when everyone is really tight and really nitty/passive, your winrate will always be low even if you're best in the world....It's the nature of poker. Lower variance for sure, but you just can't make much at all no matter how well you play even if you're Phil Ivey etc in nitty games....If you're playing $5/$10+, sure the game might be big enough, but most of us don't play that high. Also it's very boring to play in nitty passive games.

This is why I wish we'd see more ante+straddle+doubleboard+bombpot type formats online. I don't see any reason to not force people to put money into the pot more often. Certainly better than, as you point out, basically just sitting down with a handful of other people grinding rakeback all day.
The site folded one of my hands for me, might have cost me $100... also no time banks in SNGs with their change to lobbies. Terrible.
if I am playing on ACR/Ignition/BOL... with a HUD and Jurojin running, and want to play on Global as well, is that gonna be an issue with any TOS? (obviously HUDs/Jurojin don't work with Global)

I agree with you here. They play more like live whales from what I've seen.
I don't get how anyone could think there are true nits on Global. Even the nits there are calling stations
what is going on with the black screen on tournament lobbies. site is unplayable for me more than halfway into the session
samne here tourny tables wont load just grey screen topleft says please wait i am over 20 mins waiting LOL and i paid for them
its showing me regged and getting blinded in gpc 33-m. cant open my table, but can open other peoples tables.
They said they are aware on discord and twitter, hopefully they are prepared to give out some refunds or tickets at the least. Even if you are able to play the lobby is lagging so far behind and the tourney clock is lagging for the blinds

When was the last time they raised tournament guarantees? Wish they'd run some more 2x buy in (Or 1R1A) with bigger guarantees. So many good ones during the series to basically nothing.
Did they change the hand histories? It used to be that if you check the hh, your hole cards got exposed for anyone else checking the hh. I haven't seen anyone's cards in a long time, just wanted to confirm it got changed.

Nothing's different for me. I'm still seeing hole cards when I should.

Simply can't play anymore because this is all that happens when I sit down. /shrug. I know "variance", right? Not for years. Not every...single...time...I start winning can the 2-10% beats start. Then flush over flush. Then set over set. These are not legit games. They absolutely have behind the scenes algorithms that keep things in line to a certain point. I've just never experienced anything but this. For years. I'm done. They're just blanketly stealing on these sites now via multiple methods. I've defended sites, ignored runs that were just beyond ridiculous, etc. I can't waste any more time just constantly getting it in as a 90% or greater favorite and losing. And then the "coolers" begin right after the beat. Flush over flush by one card, set over set, another runner runner miracle, etc. You're literally just not allowed to win. That's not variance.
Theory of reciprocity says you need to start putting it all in when your 10% to win. Using that algorithm to your advantage is plus ev. Seriously, I started playing here couple months ago, and same brutal beats for me. Think I got 2 outered the first day. Variance is a bitch fo sure. Take a vacation, poker will be here when u get back.

I don't think I'm going to keep playing. Seriously. The variance is just so wild that it makes the game completely pointless in anything other than massive sample sizes. I don't have time for it today. I'm almost 42. Way, way too many other things for me to be spending my time on.

I agree... at Global Poker I like to call it "'sweepstakes model' variance"... I've played online poker for over 15 years, and it's the only place I've seen this type of "variance" 😉.. that being said, it goes both ways so... sometimes you're the windshield, and sometimes you're the bug!
Very disappointed in Global. I really liked playing on there, but I recently bought 2- $99 tournament entry tickets for about $180. It was for one of their series. I used one ticket on that series and I figured I could use the other one on a future series. It was roughly 30 days later when I tried to use the other ticket and there was no ticket there. Apparently the tickets are only good for 28 days. I'm not disputing that they have this in their fine print, but it is totally ridiculous for them to just take the ticket you paid for after 28 days. I have been around online poker since 2004 back in the party poker days and this is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard of. I have since withdrawn my money from this site.

Right - It's not even just a 98% beat. It's one where the only real explanation for villain's play is a series of misclicks. To see v mindlessly go all in with 2% equity and win, two or three times every few hundred hands, just makes the game unplayable. I see it happening to others around me, too. Just horrible plays with 2-8% equity winning by the river left and right. It's as if they'll only let certain players lose so much at a time.

I do enjoy the game. Just not the constant 90%+ equity beats that make the game basically unplayable. I've played higher stakes in the past but the same thing happened. Guys calling off with 2% equity on the flop and finding the nuts by the river. I know I brought up my age but that has little to do with it in all reality. There are 21 year olds who are millionaires and 55 year olds who are broke. Being 42 doesn't automatically mean I'm financially sound. At all. That said...yes. I am well overrolled for 20nl. And you're right: Due to this, a few lost buyins shouldn't really bother me. But they do. To take a nice, creative line and get villain all in drawing virtually dead, only to see the money go the other way by the river, is just beyond irritating.

Variance is a huge part of the game and is the reason why bad players continue to come back. If you don't like that aspect of it, switch to chess. If you think the Global RNG is rigged, play somewhere else.

I realistically can't spend time on Chess at this point. It offers no chance of monetary gain to me and takes up a tremendous amount of time. I'd rather spend that time on poker + life. I haven't played in a couple of weeks now I guess. I have money coming in at the end of the week and somehow managed to save again this month. That + the free money I've been getting on Global for boosted dailies makes playing there a bit this week +ev.
Bro are you still crying about that KJ runner runner that cracked your aces last week? Let it go my friend.
I hear ya.
Because that’s all they hope people play anymore. I used to be able to fire up 4-6 tables of 200plo pretty much anytime that wasn’t an early weekday morning. Now even at night, there might be 2 tables off 200 running. But of course all those 20bb table rake traps are full at all the lower and midstakes.
Decided to check out Global just to see what it was about and was shocked to see two people sitting with stacks of $164 and $128 at $10 PLO at 6am this morning. Is the site really that soft or did they both have the sun runs of their lives?

It really can be that soft. Those two were probably playing for hours at their tables and are both probably a lot better than the population of 10 PLO. They were definitely on heaters though.
The guy sitting with 128 is playing a broken stack on the other table. Played some with him this morning, terrible.

Agree. I said the same about their schedule in the discord. I think they should literally run a big series every month. I didn't notice much overlay in the Grizzly but I do notice quite a bit of overlay in their daily schedule which has really bad guarantees. I know most recs like freezeouts but they should really consider putting 1 extra rebuy in case you bust. It doesn't need to be unlimited but one extra is the way to go so the prizepools will grow the site. It is literally stuck at nothing right now
Which credit card providers actually work on Global. My chase saphire visa used to work and now it doesn't
Is there an issue with CC deposits now? Also their dwindling player pool is certainly a red flag but at least they still are pating out promptly. I would speculate the issue of not accepting (most) CC deposits and dwindling player pool are related. Skrill seems like their only option....but they also have issues accepting CC deposits.
Can anyone confirm that we can't pay via debit/credit card now? That makes absolutely no sense and I see no difference in my interface whatsoever.

Is anyone else having problems getting their money off Global? Before I deposited I said I don’t use one of the major Canadian Banks, so they said I can just use Skrill. Now that I’m trying to take $1500 off, they say I need to have a Canadian bank account AND I can only withdraw whatever amount I initially deposited. So, I ran up $300 to $1500 and can only take out $300 and the rest of my money is held ransom? Help!
Once again, after many years of being a staple of the GP experience, the Bonanzas and Hundo tourneys are just poof gone. In their place, now you have to take endless mindless spins of their crappy slots to qualify for some shovefests. However, I did get the 50 hand cash game pop up telling me I had qualified for tonight's non-existent Bonanza. So it's either an IT employee forgot to scrub that software detail, or they are leaving that in place for its return at some point. Still weird.

Also don't think this won't have a big effect on traffic. When you lose hundreds of nightly tourney participants, who often step into cash games and SNGs while putting in their GC hands, poker traffic is gonna drop. And maybe that's the point, online poker is on its deathbed.
So is the weekly 5,000 SC tournament on Sunday now gone too? I think that contributed to more people playing ring games during the week. That's the one you need to see 500 flops to qualify. If that tournament is gone, you're going to have a lot let people playing ring games.
Yes the Sunday 5k Bonanza is gone also.
Woke up today to $35 in "Manual Adjustments". A $25 and a $10 separately. Guess there was another recent ban wave/refund spree

They prorated the Gold Digger all in MTTs for people who did the spins for the 3 slots that needed to qualify ie: Star Spell, Fruit Smash, and ThunderWheel. If u did some spins on these slots on april 1-2 u got some of the 85k prize pool. I got approx 10 sc for doing 1000 spins on fruit smash. thanks GP =)

ah ok. yea I did 1000 on fruit smash for the $.11 Scrimmage Satty and then had done about 2000 spins on one of the others. Sucks for the people who didnt start spinning right away though. We are definitely getting more than the EV of a seat in one of those
I’m looking to make multi tabling easier.

Update: Did finally get my bank approved (after 2 rejections of my banking info which both had been approved and stamped by the tellers). Finally, a manager printed out a couple other forms (just the Swift Code and one that had his title and info on it. This was at TD Bank in Canada) and I made it into a pdf using an app on my phone.

Yes, I was able to withdraw the amount I wanted to and it came reasonably quickly. I had to open a bank account with one of the shitty major Canadian Banks, because they wouldn’t accept my 0 fee Tangerine or Neo Bank Accounts (even though all other sites do, and the Gov’t of Canada also).

When I use a browser (Firefox) and I'm playing more than 1 table, I always have to click on the table to activate it (even if it's brought to the front), then click on the check, fold, call or raise buttons.

No, Windows 10. I cleaned everything up multiple times, ran Avast, Malwarebytes, even cleaned up and reinstalled Thermal Paste on the GPU and CPU. It's either a defected mouse, new CPU needed or maybe a new motherboard. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

No like posting A screenshot of a reg saying he uses software that is banned from the site and following up with “I don’t wanna talk about that in the game because who knows who is watching” and I’m asking is this strange? Then the admin shills respond instantly saying no he probably means he uses them for practice purposes. You are right just a hunch says it’s a coincidence

I've been playing there since 2018. Its soft especially small stakes cash and they have rakeback. Mtts are decent too they don't last all night. I also like the use of a debit/bank account instead of dealing with crypto. I don't like that its internet based only, wish they had software.

I didn't log in for three months and my 3,000 in SC expired. I was super busy with work stuff. 90 days isn't that much time and I only got one email. Is there a rep I can talk to?
I've heard of sites taking small monthly administrative fees after periods of inactivity (still dumb, imo), but taking your entire balance after 90 days? Feels harsh.

It is in their TOS that they can do that. Support (in AUS) strikes me as reasonable if you haven't done something serious. There are a couple of people you might speak to on Discord. Discord is also where you can find a pinned link to the helpdesk, if you haven't done that yet. GL!

Yeah apparently it's standard for them. They must have taken crazy amounts of money. I'm not too worried but even being in this situation is absurd.
I would love to see Global Poker really go the extra mile for its players and add a new background for Final Tables. It's a PNG guys it shouldn't be to much to ask should it? One of the best feelings in the world is making the final table and it switches to a final table background. You would think this would be a thing, but it's not. :(

Extremely dumb and only happens bc of the lack of competition in the market. None of the big 3 would even exist in a true free market. Sadly the government is so corrupt we will never get that again :(

"Inactive Account means a Customer Account which has not recorded any log in or log out for a period exceeding 12 consecutive months" - From the TOS definitions. 5.12. We reserve the right to close your Customer Account if it is deemed to be an Inactive Account If they really did close an account and take the money after 90 days, that is against their own TOS.

You were obviously lazy in reading the TOS. Doesn't mean I agree with it. Your account gets closed after a year. You lose your balance after 90 days Expiry and Forfeiture 8.22. Sweeps Coins are only valid for 90 days from the date you last logged on to your Customer Account and will thereafter automatically expire.

yea I stopped reading after seeing the account gets closed after a year. Figured that losing your balance was a part of that. They should probably put those two clauses near each other, not 4 pages later in the middle of cashout rules.

Well we can both agree it shouldn’t happen after 90 days. All sites have this in the TOS but this is the shortest timespan I’ve seen. I haven’t read ACR in a while but it was 6 months. I remember Naggy on twitter saying he wouldn’t enforce that rule but it’s hard to believe anything that comes out his mouth. When the official Global thread was up a rep claimed it was part of the sweepstake model. I don’t buy that either
The people I've heard of having funds taken after inactivity got refunded after contacting support. They're not trying to gotcha and take your balance

Pretty sure its not to protect the player. Its to protect themselves from legal issues. Not sure why its 90 days vs a more reasonable time period though, but Im sure their legal team has its reasons for it. Its the only US site where you can withdraw directly into your bank account, and no CC fees when depositing, while other sites have 10-20% credit card deposit fees. You actually get a little bit of juice added for higher deposit amounts. ($102 for a $100 deposit). Those benefits are going to come with downsides in the grey area that is US Online poker.
I notice in my notes people be changing their names, but the notes stay the same thankfully. Both fish and regs. What is this? Why is this allowed?

I reached out to Chase. They said it's definitely on the vendor side and that they have nothing even declined on their end.
It seems like Debit cards work, while credit cards get declined, even if from the same bank. My guess is this is a vendor decision as it is very easy to challenge a credit card charge and get refunded (and the vendor gets screwed) versus challenging debit card transactions. I would speculate that Global got burned by folks challenging their CC transactions, given the legal 'grey area' they(Global Poker) can't really protest the charge backs.

Yea only Nevada, New Jersey, and Michigan merged. Probably good traffic at the moment because of the WSOP in Nevada and everyone in town playing online.

This is definitely true, and can definitely work. Just be aware (you might check out some Facebook groups) they they can deactivate (their term for banning) your account without giving you a reason. Many people claim the have done nothing against the rules, but have been banned. Some who were writing in requests, and some who weren't. That said, I know there are people who have sent in about 1K requests a month and been paid and not banned.
okay good to know, so basically prolly take 2 months or so ( depends on a lot of things obvs ) - but once my " Sweepes Coins " - get credited to my account I can send off as many as i possibly can , ( I was wondering if 500 would be too much - and they would only credit say 1/2 of them or what not ) - but to hear u say someone did / can send 1k postal request is very intriging to me ( I am an up n coming full time player - so I am trying to build a BR - taking some funds off one site n using it to get these index cards / enevelops / stamps - investing into Global with a huge return - then proceed to build my BR up on there by playing ( what do u mean by the " check out some FB groups " ) - like it would say about ppl getting banned - curious to know more about this - do u have a link or something specific ( I want to investigate why this would happen - n how, so I can make sure to know everything ) thks I will definetly be ready to fire as many as I humanly can as soon as my first batch goes thru thanks for the reply

There are at least two groups - one is for mailing in requests to different sites, and the other is specifically for people who have been banned or warned from a site. The group about banned people sort of likes it if you have been banned or warned - but I was able to join and when they asked I just said I had friends who had been banned (which was true). I don't know why they care. They are both private groups, so I don't think you can view them if you are not a member. If you are willing to post your email address here, I can send you invites to them. Otherwise you can search FB for "Online Sweepstakes Envelope Requests" and "VGW Deactivated Players" - and then just ask to join.

like it would say about ppl getting banned - curious to know more about this
it’s very tempting for anyone who does the sweeps mail ins to want to increase their volume by having a family member/roommate sign up. You absolutely cannot have two accounts from the same household etc. and of course Global is gonna aggressively ban people because otherwise they’re giving free money away. They’re already giving free money away via mail ins in the first place!
i really am not big into FB / social media ( cut a lot of it out of my life not long ago , I was just curious what they were all about I am currently just waiting for my first batch to get credited ( about 75 envelopes sent in ) , and once it does going to fire off 300 ish ( already getting prepared ahead of time - stocked up on all the supplies needed to senf them off in bulk - now im just writing them out daily ( leaving space for the 12 digit request code , that way i can fire off as soon as i get the first batch approved for someone like me - up n coming player - building my BR - this is a game changer ( wouldnt of never known about it - my friend in my study group mentioned to me - so i looked into it and couldnt believe this is even a thing - ( I wonder how many ppl that play global regularly dont even know about this ) - i was talking with someone else who been playing global for a little bit n knew of it kinda but didnt realize how it even worked / how much money they have given out for free - ( 50 million in 7 years of being operating ), its so valuable to cash out X from one site n use it to send these postal req. off n build up a BR on Global ( one of the softest sites out there ) - It's like a cheat code lol
i mean with a little bit of work , n little investment - its basically a free way of getting a BR ( any decent player will use whatever 300 - maybe 1K n build it up in no time - Global is super soft small fields , and yeah IMO - wouldnt need to try n " game " the system at all - why would u risk messing things up if ur doing this ( U r right I am sure there are ppl trying to do shady stuff like this ) , but to me makes no sense when u can just get X amount on there - play games u can beat - large sample - n then u have a decent BR - on Global - Keep crushing - n then taking it n splittting up across diff sites ( once u use it n win n build it up obvs ), n yeah I still couldnt believe when i read it - " gave away 50 million " n they only been around 7 years who needs backing / staking - when u got Postal Request codes n envelops n stamps haha LFG
My 2c: The people who are getting banned are likely violating the rules in some capacity. You have to be a special kind of psychopath/autist to write 50+ per day which some people claim to do "legit". Realistically the people doing real high volume like this inevitably get greedy and want to find ways to skirt the rules by using automated writing devices (or fake stamps) i'd guess. If you are doing it 100% legit I promise you that you probably won't be able to stomach the volume necessary to really draw attention to yourself where they start looking for reasons to ban you. Pretty much the absolute MAXIMUM any person can churn out per hour (code, written, sealed and stamped) is probably ~8-10. You can have pretty bad hand writing and still get credited so realistically you'll make about 4.25-4.3 per envelope. So a reasonable hourly is probably somewhere between 30-40$ which beats grinding low stakes live and most shitty jobs (though if you WFH you can do both like I do). You can increase your margins/lower costs a bit by using a credit card with good rewards/cash back and shopping for supplies/stamps at costco/sams club (since theyll have their on cashback that will stack with your cc, although sams i believe wont give cashback for stamps). You can basically get envelopes/index costs for around 1-2 cents per, so stamps and time are your biggest limiting factors. I haven't found anyway to get the cost of stamps much lower than face value other than the cashback tips noted. DO NOT risk it buying potentially fake stamps on the cheap. My only other tip is buy a really comfortable, preferably refillable pen cause most pens only last about 100ish letters. Also lastly expect the turn around time to be 6-8 weeks from when you mail to went you get credited (drops are about once per week).
thanks for the detailed info , yeah i agree - stamps / time are the most costly - i bought index cards in bulk already ( now looking for the envelopes - will check costo stamps ( where I am buy in packs of 10 u save a little bit ) so yeah and as for the time ( since i have to wait up to 8 weeks to get credited ) I am currently writing some out every day 10+ if not more that way as soon as my first batch gets credited I will procduce a bunch of codes - fill those in , n have everything else already ready ( wont spend a enitre day or 2 writing out 200-300 cards ) n yeah im going to play somewhat higher abi - to make sure i can use all the " sweepscoins " credited , and not have any expire on me n i know by fall / early winter my BR will be flush ( gloabal - small fields - super soft ) one thing I was wondering - if there was ever a time or possibiltity that say someone sent 400 cards ( as soon as the codes are produced - get to the sending address with days tops ( produce the codes Sunday night - mail off monday morning - they get there by Thursday / Friday the latest ) would there ever be a time where the cannot " process " all of the 400 cards say only 250-300 of them ? or same example someone sent 800 cards n they only could process 500 n the rest expired I want to know what the top is where it gets close to not all going thru and yeah I took about 5 hours ( $60 CDN cost - stamps / cards/ env. ) to send out 50 cards first batch gettting back $250 US ( $340 ish CDN ) so if I do 500 cards - = 50 hours ( 500-600$ CDN depending on bulk deals ) = $3400 CDN return ( thats about $56 / hr ( - the cost of supplies incl ) so yeah I cannot get a job where i make $50 / hr im going to do this until my BR is flush n im playing the highest BI's on global I am a decent player / improving everday - n know I can spin it up once i start playing more of these small / soft fields LFG ? for u - so how many have u sent off - can u give me some info , on when n how - anything i dont know / mention yet what about when u get credited Sweeeps Coins , n u start winning so uhave some SC credited from this postal , n u have some winings of your own lets say u won1K , n still have 500 left from global postal if u try n withdrawal - will global say ur only allowed to cash out 1K n not the 500 from postal I am sure they keep this separate n on their backend , right ? also r u from Canada - how does the skill testing question work ( it tried to ask them 2x - but the do not really say ) IF ur not - in Canada we have to answer a skill testing question for any sweepstakes prize collection - ( 10+10 -5 = ) simple BS but if i sent 50 index cards out do i need to answer 50 ?'s lol - n if so or if not - how by phone , email ? im curious how this works

You must go to the Global Poker site, find the rules and follow them to the letter. According to others it is very tedious to write a bunch of words exactly as they describe. They will disqualify any invalid entries without explanation, so there goes your postage. There can't be any copies or automation used. Lots of discussion on Discord regarding people doing this. If you are desperate and can't work outside the home, it may be worth it. There are no impossible play thru rules like some other sites. Just 1x for each coin you get. In other words, you can't withdraw free money without gambling it one time.

Certainly there are people getting banned for violating the rules, but many have been banned who have not violated any rules. Some of them were reinstated when they were told the banning was in error - others were reinstated with no explanation despite previously being told it was permanent. Some who were banned wrote a lot of requests, others who were banned wrote NO requests or very few. Some who wrote large volumes of cards have not been banned. This is why I suggested the Facebook group related to those who have been banned. I certainly can't speak to the veracity of the stories in the group, but I can guarantee there are people (friends of mine) who have been banned who did nothing wrong, and wrote very low volume of requests. As for how many one can write in an hour - just depends on the person and how they write. I'm guess that printing could take at least 50% longer than cursive, but I have never tested that. 10 in an hour, if just powering straight through - is easily doable. I never just power through - I write while I'm playing poker on Global, or while watching baseball (or another sport that has frequent breaks in action). I figure if I'm going to be watching the game anyway, I might as well do something productive with the time.
The 30 day expire time frame is based off the post date (when they get mailed) not absolute time from when they are generated. Just mail them within a week of when they are generated and you'll be fine.

As already mentioned, usually 3-4 days from ACR to bank account, if you have a verified account. Also, you can buy gift certificates (I do $50 or $100 Starbucks ) and have them (usually) within the hour. GCs also have a premium of a couple percent extra.
Why did global remove the timebank?
Yea, I was hoping it might have just been a glitch, but why did they remove the time bank? I ended up timing out on a few difficult decision hands while multi-tabling. I hope it's a bug and not something intentional
what do u mean by " something intentional " - r u saying on global's side or your own ? and yeah really fast n easy to take money off global - here in Canada cash out one day - have it the next morning in my bank account
edit. deposits now going through.

I've been having an issue recently where the SnG lobby isn't updating games. It will show a given number of players and remain at that level, even after a game has started. For example, it will show "Maggie [Turbo] Players 2/9 enrolled" but when you click on the game, it will show that the tournament is full and has already begun. The new Maggie tournament never appears. Anyone know a way to resolve this? What I've been doing is refreshing the browser but that sits me out of all my active games, which is annoying.

When in the SNG Lobby, click on one of the other tabs (Ring Games, Tournaments, etc.), then click back on Sit'n'Go, it'll refresh and update the lobby.

Anyone noticing some players having bot behavior, similar to the ones on Ignition?
I haven't noticed any "bot" behavior but I did notice a guy that used to be a terrible player going from a huge fish to one of the top players on the site within a couple months/weeks; final tabling many of the highest stakes MTTs on GP (he went from -7K to +13K within a couple months and is now consistently crushing MTTs). It's like one day he just turned on a switch and started wining. When I asked him about it, he said he just studied a lot. Personally, it took me years of study to become a slightly winning player but this guy did it in a couple months/ weeks. I'm not saying this is impossible but I find it a bit suspicious. IDK maybe I'm just being paranoid, but the way he was playing was almost perfect. Always making the really good bets in position/ on the button with perfect sizing. Once again, I can't prove anything, but i just find it a bit sus. anyone else notice this? If u do, pls DM me with the players handle and lets gather some evidence. IDK........ maybe im just being a crazy paranoid dum ass wearing a tin foil hat. <(=(
Please ignore my post above. Now that I think about it, I think I'm just being paranoid, well 80% sure anyways... =)

is it known what is the 'safe max' amount of sweeps mail ins we can send per month? i.e wager $5k usd per month on tournaments sending in 5k usd worth of mailins would be too high? we should be doing some fraction of that? 10% 25% etc?

The 30 day expire time frame is based off the post date (when they get mailed) not absolute time from when they are generated. Just mail them within a week of when they are generated and you'll be fine.
so with these generated codes mailing once per month isnt a good idea ? we need to be sending out weekly?
To each their own, but when i did play on this site, i wrote a few cards everyday and mailed them the same day, this way you are not tiring from writing and have a steady income coming to you everyday after the 8-week period and never have to second guess anything that might have gone wrong.

Does anybody know why global has rakeback for cash games and not SNG/MTT? Or maybe a rep can address a timeline when it could be implemented in the future?
unofficial thread so no rep will be addressing but I would imagine its not viewed as a winning promo to them. there's enough competition in the cash game market that they pretty much have to offer something to get regs to put in volume there. tourneys, with guarantees and overlays, I think they view the regs as being somewhat baked into their schedule if they want to get in volume. as for SnG's they're probably so far down the priority list and just not worth promoting in this day and age. just my interpretation of the situation.

They were beta testing sng rakeback a few months ago. They said possibly late fall for a timeframe. MTT rakeback probably wont ever come. David Lyons said there are overlays and freerolls on purpose that "act" as rakeback for MTTs.

Wow that's exciting news, I would definitely grind on there a lot if offered SNG rakeback
global screwed me - had a feeling postal requests mail in waited 9 weeks - n after asking them emailing " whats going on " they finally said - that all of them are invalid because the word promotions - I wrote " promotion " ( without the S ) which i know 1000% is not true - because when i was triple checking every word for spelling i noticed 5 of the 50 i sent missed the S so i filled it in same pen same everything , also because i kept 10 cards back that are exactly the same as the 50 i sent out and all of them are correct - word for word , letter for letter , I made a google doc with every word spelled out - screen shot from there promotion sweepstakes rules so i know for certain - i had everything correct i feel like they can just pick n choose - who they wanna give this too or maybe its one big sham ? - i know ive heard from ppl who have gotten it so i dunno but i even sent them pics showing the cards i left behind - showing everything in order i took my time doing these - hours , spent like 60$ CDN to send off - and waited 9+ weeks just for them to say whatever they wanna say maybe they just give them to loosing players ? - or who knows anyways never going try this again , its out of my hands once i send them off - they basically can say anything they want

They're super shady with this sort of thing. If you're in the USA, file a complaint with the FTC and FCC about the illegal sweepstakes they're running. That's the only way to apply pressure.

Too early to know just yet but I would say not good. When Michigan made them stop they gave the players a few months to cashout so I wouldn't worry short term. Everyone knew this sweepstakes crap was just a way to bend the laws. It was only a matter of time before this happened

(https://www.gipsyteam.com/news/20-10-2023/patrick-leonard-reviewed-icm-spot-for-500-000) The late, great Chad "Lilholdem" Batista was one of the first to weaponize these massive stack asymmetries in high ICM pressure spots. Back then, way before the game theory revolution, he referred to it as "r*ping the bubble".
thanks - interesting stuff - yeah i mean who knows what to think im still going play on Global - super soft and im getting staked to play MTTs on 5 diff sites - so not really about the money just feel like i got suckered in spent about 50$ CDN + 5 hours , to mail those off, and yeah not a good feeling
im assuming this is a 1$ BI ? im not surprised ive seen many many times on diff sites BB fold when they can check - literally could of checked , and instead they fold i didnt even know this was possible lol so yeah in a 1$ MTT this kind of thing doesnt surprise me
Sent in exactly 100 envelopes this time last year. Never got sweeps or a denial. 12 months! Emailed them a few weeks ago, still awaiting reply. What's up Global Poker?

Unfortunate that this even has to be worried about. Would you guys expect another site to come and basically fill the vacuum that Global would leave or would the entire US player base basically be on either WPN, BetOnline, or Ignition?

There are other smaller sites that are trying to get up and running under the same Sweeps Cash model, namely Clubs Poker. I've seen smaller poker influencers advertising for them. If Global Does go down, other Sweeps Cash sites will follow suit I'd have to imagine. So the player pool would have to go to the three options you listed, Coinpoker, or app games

That doesn't really make sense, logically. If the government shuts them down for running an illegal sweepstakes model, I suspect the other participants will pull out, as well.

What I meant by the other sweeps sites following suit was that they, too, would be shut down or bail out on their own
how long ago did u send in the 50 . or 100 - ? , this was my 1st time trying it - and i just think its one big shame like they can basically say whatever they want - even if i did photocopy them n proved to them that they are legit im sure they could just say anything
anyone else getting an error message after clicking redeem prize?
Is there no sound when players check for anyone else? Just pure silence when check is pressed

It may be the beginning of the end for Global Poker and other new sweeps poker sites in legalized states like Michigan and Connecticut. They're likely getting more pushback from the legislation that's in place in those states that allow poker sites to obtain licensing and legally operate within that state. But certainly if GP gets taken down in these states or others, other sweeps cash poker & casino sites will be shut down/leave too.

ItÂ’s hard to say (if it’s the beginning of the end for legalized states) because Nevada, Jersey, PA are all allowed and youÂ’d think theyÂ’d have big targets on their backs so it may be that regulators in those states already heard and dismissed ASGs complaints.
Is the site down for anyone else?

Based on the action that has been taken so far, (AGA investigation, closed it's doors to MI & CT), it seems like there is more scrutiny for GP coming from certain states where online poker is legal. I am solely basing my opinion on that. It could be they're really in more hot water than the public knows, but this is all speculative.

I am solely basing my opinion on that. It could be they're really in more hot water than the public knows, but this is all speculative.
To clarify, AGA doesn't investigate, its a casinos lobbying group that wants state regulators to investigate.
AGA's goal is to restrict online access in every possible way so that more dollars are gambled at brick and mortar casinos. I'm sure they lobbied hard against legalization in those states that have legalized. That's why I doubt Nevada, PA, NJ are looking at AGA's recent memo and going "gee never heard of these guys, I guess we better do something now." https://www.legaluspokersites.com/news/a... (https://www.legaluspokersites.com/news/aga-doj-pursue-offshore-igaming/34604/) "The AGA wants to shut down all offshore gambling opportunities for US players but not promote the legalization of state-regulated igaming."
There are two guys who have been colluding everyday non stop in sngs from $15-$200. They are chip dumping the most obvious spots that it seems they don’t even care about getting caught. Like player a bb for 200 and player b has 240 chips left and will shove and player a will fold. I’ve seen it happen so many times in the last week and if you look up their ss they have all the same games played together in over a week. It’s the most blatant colluding or multi accounting I seen. Just their sharkscope alone player a has his most frequent played game with player b by 4-5 times in one week alone. They log in and play the same games all day and log off on the same game every day for a week straight. If you play those sngs regularly I’m pretty sure you know who they are. I reported this in the global discord and most of the people in there tell me to stop talking about and not to say their names. Someone else in the discord said he noticed it too and pointed out their names so I know I’m not the only one who has reported this. I’m surprised global is still letting it go on

I don't understand the problem lately but it's quite tilting. I even had the cable company here for three hours yesterday and the games on global are now actually unplayable. Costing me money and therefore no reason to play. Constant lockups followed by a series of "catchup" images that bring me up to speed. NO reason for the lag and not experiencing it with anything else. Constantly pressing an action mid hand only to have it time down before the action even registers. Anyone else going through this? My connection is the best it's ever been and yet (only with Global) it's impossible to play like this.

It’s peteystayfresh89 and dream217 You can check their sharkscope they have been playing in every game together for 2 weeks straight almost. They are literally playing right now together. One of their sharkscopes is locked but you can see the last 10 and they are always games that dream played too. Peteys most played opponent is dream by almost 5 times in one week alone. If you play with them you will see them chip dump etc One of the guys in the global discord told me posting someone’s sharkscope info is against sharkscopes tos and I need to stop so idk.

I had to quit yesterday because of it. Blinds disappearing on screen but the lag with the catch up was terrible. I'm on fiber internet that averages around 600 mbps.
Blinds disappear on my MacBook with chrome, but on my PC with chrome, I’ve never seen it.

Based on the action that has been taken so far, (AGA investigation, closed it's doors to MI & CT), it seems like there is more scrutiny for GP coming from certain states where online poker is legal. I am solely basing my opinion on that. It could be they're really in more hot water than the public knows, but this is all speculative.
I mean they're sponsoring NFL players and celebrities, I doubt theyd be tasking such a public strategy if they truly were in danger of being shut down. Theyd want to be as low profile as possible

I wouldn't use that as a litmus test at all.
FYI, I haven't gotten any more lag/ disconnects since the last time I posted about it in here a few days ago. Is anyone still getting lagg/ disconnects? If u still get lag, u might want to use firefox instead of google chrome when playing global poker. GP seems to like firefox better than chrome, esp for slots, in my experience.
I reached out to Global support to see if they would offer any compensation for the disconnection issues on 9/9 and they stated that since it was a "me problem" they couldn't offer anything. I took a screenshot of this thread showing that the issue was being reported by other users, and they said yeah, sorry, we had players who did not experience any connections issues so you are out of luck. So just know that if you are in a tournament or in the middle of a cash game hand, and Global has connection issues, you will be out whatever money/equity with no recourse.
^^ is everyone aware that you’re only supposed to use Firefox to play on global? I thought this was common knowledge. Also, there have been some posts in the discord in the past about people having trouble on Global with major internet providers ATT, Verizon and that Global had acknowledged that users of those providers were having issues but basically passed it off as network problems of those providers. Obv the issue is probably Global not the IP but at least one guy insisted that after he switched to a T-Mobile hotspot it was night and day better. So if you play the site a lot and keep having issues it might be worth a shot.
I've never used Firefox for Global & never had an issue over the years with connection. Dogsht ignition is another story. It's unfortunate that the best option for poker in the US is this windows 3.1 based GUI. No waitlists, no huds, no table organizers, no hand history downloads, no aminations, no stand-alone app, an irritating sound scheme with graphics from Pogo games; exact opposite features of convenience for the players. I'll give that the 30% rakeback is a nice incentive whereas ignition gives nothing but its still hard to boot up & grind on this site. The frontend is just awful. Honestly, Windows 3.1 card games had better animations. At least WPN presents their trash, shaddy, bot-infested site with a pretty nice looking GUI even though I will never play there again. Also unfortunate because the US market online is pretty soft & Global's deposit/withdraw is pretty smooth (plus can deposit via card). As I said, automatic 30% rb is nice but this GUI needs to be trashed and completely overhauled. Even WSOP recognized this about their own site & redesigned it. Time for Global to do the same.

This is from an email they sent me: In the future, before playing we recommend that you try doing basic troubleshooting steps as listed below to ensure that you have smooth social gameplay.
when i try to access my tables it goes to a black screen. anyone else having problems?
Yep, same thing happening for me too.
After the error the two previous players are referencing, nearly SC 400 are missing from my account. Below is a copy/paste of the message I sent to GP support. I previously contacted them when the error happened, but they haven't replied, despite it being almost a whole day later. What I sent to support: My tournament winnings from two tournaments I cashed never showed up in my account. There was an error on Global Poker's end starting around 1:30 AM North American Central Time Zone (CT) that lasted for multiple hours and affected tournaments that were already in progress. Multiple players on a forum confirmed the same thing happening to them at the same time. The players who were eliminated before this error already received their prizes. In the lobby these 2 tournaments still show up as in progress, despite being nearly a day old. The remaining players still haven't received the prizes that we won. There are two reasonable ways to handle this. The first is to distribute the remaining SC prize pool evenly among the remaining players. The second way is to distribute SC payouts based on current chip positions. Refunding the buyins would NOT be an acceptable solution because the players who were eliminated before us already received their prizes. I will provide details regarding the two affected tournaments below. Night Freeze SC 2,000 Guaranteed (SC 22 buyin) Game Starts: Sep 18, 2024 10:00 PM (a day ago) Historic ID: 66ea42535ab74a0437298234 Remaining payouts 1st place SC 500, 2nd place SC 340 Position

After logging in today, I finally received my winnings, but one of the tournaments still shows up in the lobby as running every time I log in, even though it was 2 days ago.

Curious; did Support respond, or did they just pay you without communication?
I've used this site for years. Have almost entirely used Chrome. At this point, my internet connection is a dream. I don't have the slightest problem with anything except Global using Chrome. This is new and only started at the end of the summer here. Does this continue for anyone else? Lag after you take actions, freezing and then "catching up", timeouts and auto folds for taking too long, etc?

Y'all are not the only ones. I am getting a message now that says my account is blocked for too many login attempts even though my password was correct on each attempt.
Can you adjust the preflop bet slider so I can change an opening raise to 2.5x instead of the default 3x? Doesn't look like there is :(

I reached out to Support who resolved my ticket immediately with a response they were looking into it. Hours later, I received an email from Global that contained a link to unblock my account. I can now log in as normal with the same password and all money I had on cash tables is in my account.
Can I use Sharkscope at the same time I’m logged into Global Poker and playing Mtts? Is this allowed or against tos?
got some competition for global coming. I'd be willing to bet their GUI won't look like windows 3.1 https://www.worldpokertour.com/news/club... (https://www.worldpokertour.com/news/clubwpt-gold-5m-freeroll-headlines-wpt-world-championship-festival/) The freeroll helps WPT celebrate the upcoming launch of their latest offering – ClubWPT Gold, a new sweepstakes model online poker platform that will be available for players in the majority of the United States. ClubWPT Gold, slated to launch in early 2025, will be operated on the established sweepstakes model similar to the longstanding ClubWPT, but it will not require a subscription. It allows players in approved markets to play poker by utilizing virtual currency, Gold Coins, which are purchased but have no cash value. Players are then also given an equal amount of Sweeps Coins, a currency that can used in a separate pool of games. Gold Coins are used for play money games while Sweeps Coins can be used to play for cash and prizes.

I don't think the AGA had anything to do with any of these states but Connecticut isn't alone in not allowing Global. I think the list will get longer. My state just stopped Bovada this week though it isn't a sweeps model. Probably had more to do with the sports betting. Global Terms: ONLY PLAYERS IN THE UNITED STATES (EXCLUDING THE STATES OF CONNECTICUT, IDAHO, MICHIGAN, MONTANA AND WASHINGTON) AND CANADA (EXCLUDING QUEBEC) ARE ELIGIBLE TO ENTER THE SWEEPSTAKES. PLEASE REFER TO CLAUSE 1.1 OF THE SWEEPS RULES TO CHECK YOUR ELIGIBILITY.
Dude...I'd absolutely love to have another sweepstakes modeled site to play on. Having both would be great. That said: Have the performance issues cleared up here on Global at all?

I don't even know if a hud would work on Global, but that's not the point since that not what I would be using it for. It would be for classifying players by looking them up on Sharkscope while I play on Global at the same time. I asked support but they didn't say it was against tos but of course giving me a clear answer would have difficult I guess lol. They just say they don't encourage players to use 3rd party software.

There are two guys who have been colluding everyday non stop in sngs from $15-$200. They are chip dumping the most obvious spots that it seems they don’t even care about getting caught.

I will attest to having seen this myself. He's not wrong; and in some situations it's more blatant than others. Nothing will be done about it; because there is no HH on the website. In fact; I recently played some GC games for the promo. It has HH for each and every hand I played in GC....and none of the HH for any SC games played.... So sussy baka.

I think I ran in to a couple colluders today, chk out this hand. Final table of "the little big one" MTT https://play.globalpoker.com/hand/9a8092... (https://play.globalpoker.com/hand/9a80929c-0a49-33ae-955e-027dadaa9a74) There's no reason for the BB to fold here when the SB is all in for less than 1 BB. If he timed out, it would've been an auto call but he just pressed fold.
Seems that way; and the final table is usually where collusion becomes obvious in MTT. There was recently a controversy in a high stakes MTT, where players covered each others action; then soft played each other at final table; because by allowing each other to place higher; they made more money.

it’s very tempting for anyone who does the sweeps mail ins to want to increase their volume by having a family member/roommate sign up. You absolutely cannot have two accounts from the same household etc. and of course Global is gonna aggressively ban people because otherwise they’re giving free money away. They’re already giving free money away via mail ins in the first place!
This is not the case; and TMK, one of the streamers they promote is a husband and wife combo....that live together; they don't love each other, but they definitely live together. (Why would they play poker together if they loved each other? Recipe for domestic abuse, lmfao)

yea I stopped reading after seeing the account gets closed after a year. Figured that losing your balance was a part of that. They should probably put those two clauses near each other, not 4 pages later in the middle of cashout rules.
I had a support person argue with me; Essentially I had written a curse word in passing, not towards them. The exact phrase: "If the POV of global poker isn't to make it right, then my POV is there is a casino an hour away I can play at with none of this ****ing drama." They berated me for using the f word in that context; so I suggested we move to arbitration; quoted the TOS, told them where there are errors in the TOS....(Clause 24 is incorrectly referenced as clause 23) and then said 'Let's arbitrate' as it's not in your TOS. Your TOS says I can't harass players; says nothing about cussing passively. They replied with the cookie cutter "We'll take that into consideration" but completely stopped trying to censor me.

The math isn't mathing on GP. The real issue is that players who don't play on GP, they just see the hands; and think these are the 'variance' examples; and we're hiding the 'winning' hands.

Gross misuse of semicolons aside, there's enough Sharkscope data available to show winning players are profiting in tournies in the longterm which is indicative of no issues with RNG. Are you strictly referring to ring games when you mention you think the "math isn't mathing?" I don't disagree with all of your points, for what it's worth. Their TOS is often vague and their Support continues to deny internal issues. There are definitely bots on this aite although not rampant or talented (at least at low-midstakes). Just trying to clarify since there is enough public data that doesn't reveal anything weird about tourneys.
I thought holdem had two hole cards.

I've written about this multiple times but hate doing so. I'll TL;DR it. I think ring games are being used (inappropriately) to fund tourney guarantees and the $5 per envelope promo. (Which comes to well over minimum wage) Tourneys do have an RNG issue; and I'm a winning tourney player. I know the exact spot that can be abused in tournaments. I've posted about it; it sounds crazy; it's actually DDA. (The alternative is variance hits in the exact way I expected it to at the exact point I expected it to each time I tested it) That's before we get into undisputed facts like no HH, no HUD, etc. Are they really trying to protect us from sharks? Or is it more likely their shadiness has benefits to themselves? Why specifically can't I see my own HH? (HH that lasts until you logout and is often incomplete is not a HH; it's extremely suspect). HH would remove all doubt; they have no plans of adding it.

I almost always have to login twice on my PC, no issues with my phone or on a different PC.

I'm still having issues. The table just freezes up now and I time out. It happens like three times an hour...making the game basically unplayable. I'm trying everything here. Updating browsers, clearing cookies/cache, updating/restarting computer, restarting network adapter, etc. I'm just using play money right now so I can test out the connection before putting any more real money on the site. This is really annoying. There is nothing wrong with my internet connection. It's perfect everywhere outside of Global.
It's when it's my turn to act. I'll make a decision and enter it, and then the screen will just sit there with my clock running down. Sometimes the action gets through, sometimes it doesn't and I time out. Totally unpredictable as to when it happens but once it starts, it doesn't stop.

I play omaha on the site at PLO 50 and PLO 100 - but the 100 games kinda dried up - but i've won over 10k on the site, and the variance can get pretty bad, but the games are defiantly beatable. You will run really good on there and really bad sometimes. I'm on a downswing myself right now - to just random players flopping quads vs my AAxx and than them going on insane 7-8 buy in upswings playing every hand. But usually they just dump it back. I will say the variance can feel somewhat fishy - but that seems to happen on all poker sites - where you just get caught in a doom loop and can't win. I suppose it happens at live poker too.

I'm still having issues. The table just freezes up now and I time out. It happens like three times an hour...making the game basically unplayable. I'm trying everything here.

Just checking in again to see if anyone else is experiencing this. It basically has me not playing poker again as I'd have to make new deposits on wpn and bol to play elsewhere.
Global has a few FLO8 cash tables that they are running as a test during their Omaha MTT series. Y'all should play some FLO8 and hopefully they will keep the game around. It is a great game and too hard to find places to play it.

Does anyone have any experience having no access to Global for more than 3 months and keeping your sweeps coins? It will be a pain having to withdraw everything and redeposit, but that seems like the option talking to support.
call me a rigtard all day, I'm fine with it but I take more ridiculous river beats on this site than I ever have playing full time anywhere else online which includes Rignition & ACR. Luckily, I never deposit on this site just playing on the free money every few months after it builds to a few buyins. So every few months I get reminded why to never play here. Combine that with the horrible windows 3.1 interface with no standalone app, no hand histories, no HUDs and this site is 100% made for boomers to waste their Sunday evening. I hope WPT dominates the US traffic next year.

I am a sucker for punishment so I play on Global often. It is rigged AF. I'm up quite a bit lifetime there, but yeah the site is definitely off. You have to treat it like you're playing craps. It is either "your time to win" or "your time to get f***ed". The variance is far more wild than any other site I've played over the past 20 years.
I'm sure most are unaware of this, but you can replace images loaded by the site with ones stored locally using chromes' local overrides. You can use this to create your own skins for the site! I couldn't get every image replacement to work but the entire table/background and the cards are arguably the biggest two anyway and those are fairly easy.

Can anyone direct me to the auto-top feature for cash games? I got a new laptop and now I don't auto top and for the life of me cannot find where this setting is. It used to auto top on my old laptop, so I know it does. I have went over everything in the menu multiple times and I cannot find it !!!

Super! Thank you sir.
Games not loading. Running in "pro mode" where tables are loaded in a separate window. Reg'd a few satellites, playing cash games. The tables never pop up. Go to tournament lobby, click "go to table" , or even "open table" from player list and nothing happens. Only work around is switching back to every table loading off the main browser window. I've had this occur multiple dates with multiple tournaments. I've had similar issues with cash tables, just not loading in a separate window.

I don't understand how it could be but I don't know what else to blame it on either. I'm having zero issues and even had the speed upgraded several weeks ago. New hardware, etc. It just started one day and never stopped. Again: No problems with any other site. I haven't tried since this last post of mine nearly two weeks ago so I'll go ahead and do that at some point. Really frustrating/buzzkilling.

They weren't super clear when I emailed about it but it's not third party software or anything. It's quite literally just using inspect element on the site but having the alterations saved in a local folder with the image replacements. I can't say with 100% certainty that it's not, but intuitively it should be more than fine given it's obviously not a harm to game integrity and there's no 3rd party software being used. I will try to get a clear answer from them for my own sake and also post it and then would be happy to post the images I've made and instructions on how to do it if it gets a clear okay!

It is still going. They just announced a few days ago that they are planning to keep FLO8. So far, it is only at a few low stakes. If it gets popular, they will probably open up more stakes.
Final update: They say it's against their tos in regards to "modifying their intellectual property" Afaik, there's zero way to detect someone using inspect element client-side but the verdict is in that there's technically a risk to modding the cosmetics so I wouldn't bother. 😀

I highly doubt they would care but there are methods to detect inspect element. There are probably even more workarounds, but probably not worth it. Link below. https://sindresorhus.com/devtools-detect... (https://sindresorhus.com/devtools-detect/)

I had the hardest time getting a clear answer about using Sharkscope as well. In the end I had to ask multiple times and basically almost get mad at them so they could give me a black or white answer as everything they kept saying was up for interpretation.

You can look people up on sharkscope man, don't worry. Players have to manually opt-in to sharkscope for global iirc.
Having trouble with global poker verifying my bank details. Sent them both a statement as well as a voided bank cheque but they keep saying they are unable to verify the details. Even though the voided cheque and bank statement clearly mention everything they are asking for. Here is the mail they send me We are contacting you in line with your Global Poker account.
We appreciate your effort in submitting the requested documents.
However, we still need you to submit the Bank Statement of your nominated bank account.
Please note the following: -The document must clearly display the issuing institution's name -Addressed to your name (Joint account is acceptable) -Shows your complete address -Account number -Routing number (If applicable) -The document must not be older than six (6) months.(issue date must be showing in the document)
We have rejected your bank form, so you can submit your bank document through our new bank verification process When i ask them to let me know what was wrong and missing from the form i submit they send me a message letting me know how to initiate the bank account verification on there site. I thought this maybe a one off and maybe there was an issue with my bank but asked a friend from a different state(and different bank) to verify his details and his verification failed as well.

There is a few good regs (that also play every other site) but overall the avg player is worse here than probably anywhere online.
Interesting, thanks for the feedback. I remember playing a couple tournaments on Global and the structure seemed to be more short-stacked than others, but that could just be my bad memory.

Yeah unfortunately most of the global tournaments have ten minute levels. The good thing is the timebanks are pretty short. On ignition for example I havenÂ’t played tournaments there in years because they have 60 second time banks and pre bubble to bubble bust takes sooo long that it destroys everyoneÂ’s stack. But yeah global tournaments do play pretty short , ACR is really the gold standard for tournaments for Americans.
Im not sure where this goes but. Are you able to check stats on players on Global Poker? I was playing a tourney and had a couple people mention I was new to the site but I'm not sure how they got that info. Also how do I add-on during a tourney. I've been looking around to find where I can add on but couldn't find it. Went from 2nd to 30th cause I couldn't.

I don't play on Global so unfortunately can't help with add-on but they probably knew you were new to the site from Sharkscope.com.

Sharkscope tracks global names. Add ons are done during a specific time. Usually its after the rebuy period ends. There will be a 3 minute break. The add on button is on the bottom right of your screen during the break. If you just go on a bathroom break or whatever you'll miss the button.

Global Poker has stopped crediting my account for envelopes. It has been over a year since I last sent in any, it was 100 exactly. Its been a couple of months since I have asked them about it. So far, no responses. Used to send in envelopes a lot and never had a problem. I became a winning player and stopped writing envelopes. But I found a bunch of envelopes that I started, so I finished them up and sent them in, all new verification codes and all. Does Global Poker ghost people who send in envelopes if they are a winning player and have cashed out a bunch?
It's cool to see Global is running a $630 holiday tournament, as far as I know this is the highest buy-in tournament they've ever had.

The return to lobby button is missing. Mobile Android 14. I logged in this morning and played a short session with no problems. Then I logged in around 9:00am EST. When I joined a table the buttons for full screen were almost touching the address bar of the browser (Chrome 130.0.6723.103). After I bought in I noticed that the buttons to return to the lobby or enter the casino were missing from the lower left corner of the screen. The only way to return to the lobby is to exit the table. So I can't open multiple tables. I also can't view the table stats in the lobby without leaving the current table. I tried Brave Browser and still have the same issue. Anyone else having this problem? Any idea what the issue could be? TY.
Seems like vault rb finally added to sngs today, excellent. Also noticing a revamp happened at least to husngs, which amount to a slight rake reduction and small structure tweaks allowing more play than the previous structure. This seems like a super player-friendly decision across the board, that's awesome.

You're the first person other than myself that has experienced this. It started for me on Sunday night. I am unable to multitable. I opened a ticket, but support is having me do basic tasks such as clear cache, verify pop ups are not blocked, checking my internet connection, etc. No. It's nothing like that. Something had changed that has removed the buttons. I understand troubleshooting has to start somewhere, but this is a case of they didn't check on a mobile platform for themselves. I am on a Samsung S22 Ultra. I had a friend verify the same problem on his iPhone, so this is definitely impacting more people than just us. As of right now there is no one else talking about it. I suggest opening at https://globalpoker.zendesk.com (https://globalpoker.zendesk.com/) my ticket number is #21145761 and they are still investigating.
Its not just u guys, alot of people on discord are complaining about playing on mobile/ cant multi table RN. The admins are aware of this and are working on a fix. no ETA was given on when it will be fixed... hopefully soon. prob best to play on desktop ATM... GL yall =)

Curious why Global isn't allowing direct buy ins for this. It would certainly increase the entries. Maybe they dont want tourney regs who dont play here normally to only show up for one big tourney. Looks like they will have a couple of 99SC "satellites" every week in Dec where 1 in 7 get a seat.

I would assume that whoever makes these decisions thinks that this is somehow better for the recs and worse for the regs. The irony is that this is actually the other way around, because the regs will be paying on average less to enter and the recs will on average be paying more. Also, doing it this way allows them to rake $63 from every $693 that goes into the pool, which is more than the industry standard for a tournament of that size. Also also, doing it this way allows everyone to start ITM at the same chip stack which would hurt the stronger players (slightly) and help the weaker players (slightly), especially in a format where it's pretty easy to accidently make the correct play in a lot of spots.

Why do you think you can't buy in directely? It just looks like a multi day tournament with a stupid structure.

Why do you think you can't buy in directely? It just looks like a multi day tournament with a stupid structure.
Look at the screenshot carefully.....
The part where it says buy in SC630 is just the valuation of entry, it doesn't mean it accepts buyins. It is a phased tourney where you buyin to a phase and if you qualify you win entry to it. Is that how it works? Freerolls have prizes with entry to tournies with similar structure run on the site I play. Motive for the structure I would say is financial. Would I pay SC99 for a shot at it? Hell no.
I read the promotion, wow did they word that absolutely ******ly. So basically it's a $99 $500K where day 1 doesn't matter. Should be fun!

Nope rake is up for husngs. Its now a 10% rake from I believe 7%. So if they are giving rake back your paying the same rake as before.

I double-checked to make sure they didn't make another round of changes, but this is wrong. It was 7% and now it's roughly 6.5% in addition to the 30% rb, plus an improved structure. Going back to two lobbies per stake would be nice, though.
I am in a state no longer serviced. Around Sept/Oct, I could no longer add my vault myself. I was told it would be done when requested. Oct 14 global credited my account w/ my vault amount Oct 16 service to my state ended according to global support, 2 days was enough time to playthrough my vault amount of nearly $120. I was busy and did not play those 2 days. I think this is an unfair stance and wondering if anyone else is experiencing this

i was wrong about global shutting down. it was a glitch in my wi fi. but when i went on global on my computer and phone i got the " global shut down page" i was shocked. but i emailed them and fixed it and im back in.

Just Nevada.
Dont ever talk **** in the chat about the site, you'll start losing every damn hand....not like it matters because for every day you run pure on this site you'll get three days constantly getting sucked out on.
This site is extremely rigged. Like they aren't even trying to hide it. I would suggest either not playing here at all whatsoever or only playing micro/small stakes tourneys at most and probably never play cash ever.
