Suspicious flag patterns in high rakeback formats (Spin & Go / AoF)
Hey guys,
I’ve noticed something over the past months that seems a bit odd, especially in formats that rely heavily on rakeback like Spin & Go and All-in or Fold.
A huge portion of the regs in these pools are playing under Austrian and Polish flags. In fact, in Spin & Go it sometimes feels like almost all regs are from those countries.
However, from what I’ve gathered, many of these players are actually not from Austria or Poland. I’ve heard that some are Hungarian, and others are from completely different countries — sometimes not even living in Austria.
Another thing that caught my attention is how frequently some of these players change their flags. For example, I saw one player listed as being in Thailand (playing MTTs), then the next day Singapore, and now Austria.
This made me wonder if there might be some kind of account recycling, flag manipulation, or system exploitation going on — possibly related to rakeback or regional benefits.
Does anyone know if GGPoker is aware of this?
Or has anyone else noticed the same pattern or has more insight into what might be happening?
