[Global Poker] Official Discussion Thread

How long has it taken y'all to get your account verified? I've submitted my ID/Address literally a month ago and they haven't done anything yet. Contacted them 3 separate times and they said that my case is being handled and that they're still reviewing things. How can a site take this comically long to verify something like this? I just wanna redeem some stuff already.

What are you trying to verify? Just the account or banking info as well? Banking takes longer as per every thread made on the topic. ID should be 1-3 days.

Entirely possible if you're trying to verify bank details that they are reviewing your play for anything that could allow them to terminate your account. I've heard anything ranging from 'accused of using a bot' to 'swore in chat'. (I don't know if I trust the 'swore in chat' poster, but that's what was claimed)

The more people I see having issues, the more I wonder if other posters are right about GP. (something something, failing as a site, abusing TOS to take player funds --- all rumors but concerning none-the-less. I actually can't remember all that was said, I'd have to revisit the threads - There was a ban wave though, so the rumors could be disgruntled cheaters)

I haven't even gotten to verify my bank details yet because they won't verify my ID or Address lmao. Last thing they told me was a few days ago that my "verification was being handled."

I know a few players from PA that play on GP (and even crush on there) so that's why I even hopped on this site in the first place. Didn't expect to run into such chronic issues trying to do something as simple as withdrawing.

I'm genuinely confused as to why they are taking so long to verify. You should be verified within 3 days or so.

One thing that could be of concern is if you're using a VPN. The VPN could put you in a state or country that is excluded from play.

Here's the real question; how the hell have you been playing with no verification? You say you're looking to withdraw....how? You couldn't possibly have played if you're not verified. Go to your profile and look at 'account' and check verification status. You shouldn't have been able to play any SC games while not verified.

Again; you can not play SC games prior to being verified. What could you possibly be withdrawing?

If you're not misrepresenting the situation, then the following is likely what's occurring.

1.) They are trying to figure out how you broke their site and played without ID verification.

2.) They are deciding if they should verify your account and allow withdrawal or ban the account.

My .02 is that if you were playing sans verification; 90% chance of ban, 10% chance of verifying and withdrawing. I could be wrong, but I don't think I am. They require ID verification to play TMK, because otherwise you could be a child, you could be underage adult (under 21), or you could be in another country. If they didn't ID first, they'd be breaking the law providing the games to you IIRC. Maybe that's not true, I thought it was though. In the event they require ID prior to play, I lean towards ban over allowing withdrawal because they have to cover their ass legally.

Nope, no VPN, and I can definitely play where I'm located. And idk, I've just been able to play while my stuff has been getting verified. Attached below is a ss of my verification status. Been playing all sorts of stuff with no issues and they haven't emailed me back with any concerns about me playing on the account either. They just keep telling me my case is being handled.

Interesting.

I don't know how to express my thoughts, here are the bullet points.

- Many users claiming something is going on at GP across multiple forums. (Alluding to cheating/rigging/etc)

- Complaints of provable practical issues (bans, cashing out, etc)

- Each time a member speaks out, there is a small onslaught of harassment.

I think those doing the harassing need to check out other forums. Either everyone drank crazy juice at the same time or they are onto something. Considering some of the posters are actually crushers, I'm hesitant to scream variance or call them crazy.

I'm more concerned with the player who can't cash out than anything else though, as that's a common complaint that shouldn't be an issue almost a decade into a service.

Are we allowed to use an rng while playing?

This individual has multiple accounts breaking TOS. They are also colluding with another player. I've excluded the name of the other player. I don't want to, but it's not as solid as proving a multiaccounter is multiaccounting
.
PLO is littered with these clowns, and if you don't protect yourself, they will take advantage. It gets pretty old, and while so many of them are obvious, the level of data required supersedes what most of us are willing to collect to prove it, and even if we did prove it....Global Poker won't do anything. They don't care, and they won't return any losses accrued by legitimate users.

For most normal users, the way they spot the collusion is by playing for a prolonged period with the users until they slip up and do something stupid. They are never going to convince a 2+2 crowd that the people they faced truly were colluding. The 2+2 crowd needs the data (as they should).

I'm still just sitting in disbelief at how this clown multiaccounting left, and rejoined on the alt account...and the kicker? I have no idea why they did it. They left immediately after sitting with the alt account. What I think occurred, is they disconnected, relogged, then the person they were colluding with yelled at them 'wrong account' when they sat, and so they left immediately...that's my best guess.

It looks like they get the RNG audited every 4 years so maybe they'll update it in the coming months

[QUOTE=ToldYaSO]For those who aren't educated, Global Pokers 'verified RNG' was removed over 4 years ago.[/QUOTE]

Huh? I've been playing on this site for like 6 years and literally nothing's changed. I've made well into five figures profit on this site lifetime and play on a pretty regular basis

That's the link to their current audit cert

You know you can look that stuff up in like 2 seconds, right? Lmao

EDIT: This post was a reply to a post that I guess got moved

I made $84 from daily slot promos this week, sucks for you haha

A user posted their experience, got trolled and I can understand removing the trolling, but the user experience being banned is odd decision by mods unless they believed he would continue to get harassed.

I've read on reddit one user suspected these were cheaters trying to belittle any criticism so others would deposit on the site and be cheated out of their money. I don't know, but...I will say, the user wasn't wrong about how odd the belittling was.

I mean, have you ever had someone make a complaint about anything and felt the need to 'correct them' with harassment? I can understand disagreeing, but belittling the person your disagreeing with is odd.

Update: Still no ID/address verification a month in. Last thing they told me was that my case was being handled and that they'd get back to me whenever possible.

Still have no idea what the issue can be at this point. I wish they'd just let me try to re-submit my stuff instead of them basically holding my funds hostage. Every time I emailed them they've just told me the same thing over and over again.

I read here that a few people also said it took them forever to get their stuff verified. Not sure why their processes are so slow though.

The "user" (more likely a fake account made by someone who already posts here and is just bitter and desperate for attention) made a fake account and made a bunch of **** up and then got banned

It was the same thing with Lucy's Fur

Bro wtf are you even talking about? There is nothing to bet on. Lucy's Fur was just some idiot who is still probably on here making fake accounts or lurking like a delusional clown who can't just take the L and move on

All these other accounts with recent join dates, vast majority of them are very clearly fake. If you can't see that then lol @ u

You are using data from one tournament to broader proclaim anomalies in MTT chip distribution. This is obviously far too small a sample size, in any given tournament it should be obvious these numbers will be extremely volatile and insufficienct for drawing any statistical conclusions.

There is also no evidence provided towards what a "normal" distribution might look like other than numbers you seem to have made up. You also haven't addressed the idea of how field size and structure will affect these numbers.

Hope this helps.

Ok? Who cares? That doesn't change anything lol

I was just on PokerStars and there was a table literally all fish. They started having a conversation saying literally all the same things that are said in here and on the rigged thread

I played on PartyPoker it was the same thing. Full Tilt it was the same thing. I played on multiple skins of Merge it was the same thing. Paradise Poker same thing. WSEX same thing. UltimateBet same thing. Absolute Poker same thing. Hollywood, Pokerroom, Bodog, Bovada, Ignition same thing. ACR, Global, they're all the same. There is nothing magical about a RNG lmfao. Players have a fold button and have the power to make decisions no matter what cards come down

The fact that this is still even a debate blows my mind because it's the same nonsense from day 1. I started playing poker online in 2002 and literally nothing has changed

Prior to Black Friday, people would say they couldn't wait for the US to legalize online poker and we've had that now for like a decade. Someone today literally said they don't believe the audits for PokerStars PA. Pure delusion

If you want to believe otherwise, then that's fine you have fun with that. However, if someone comes on here and openly states without equivocation a site is doing something nefarious and with zero evidence other than a bad mood and frustration because they just got their ass handed to them in a whirlwind of variance or by superior players, I've got news for you. They're gonna get mocked. And they def should be called out because they're lying. I'm not saying that because I disagree. I'm saying that because after decades of experience and hundreds of thousands of dollars in profit, I know they're wrong and/or misinformed.

It would be nice if ppl had a vested interest in intellectual honesty, but that does not exist in this thread. A litany of fake accounts regurgitating sets of words I've heard a million times before and weird ppl like you white knighting a random and obv fake account who was obv making **** up...If I didn't know any better I'd think you made that account. Or Lucy's Fur. Not that I care, there is nothing to do here but break up the time and laugh at the comedy

There's no shot you posted a 1500 hand sample. I'll let you guys write novels on why you're beating cheated in peace.

I agree, every poker site known to man has someone crying about the RNG and not a single piece of evidence to prove it.....(ever.) I just had this discussion on discord yesterday. People use huds on some of these sites and have millions upon millions of hands and still can't prove it

the 2018-2019 ACR was a bot refund, I received compensation

absolute and ultimate bet were the same network just like bovada/ignition. That was all the same

Did you notice any patterns that could be abused versus them?

Honestly no, it was all large field mtts and 8 or 9 handed. The only thing I noticed were a few accounts that were playing at all hours with basically no breaks. They didn't even try to hide it at the time. It didn't matter what time of the day I got on, they were always playing. I believe it was Belarus accounts that my refund came from. ACR even had a website with the bot screen names listed that were banned and the compensation amounts each screen name like myself received which ended up being pennies on the dollar. Think I got like 75 bucks or something close to it

There seems to be a bug at the tables today. The cards are not greyed out when you fold like usual. So its hard to judge whether or not you're in a hand.
I've contacted support through email but figured i should post here as well.

they said on discord support is aware and they are working on a fix

Any sng players here noticed the new format doesn't let you tile tables anymore?

I played 2 husng tables today and you have to manually click between games. it's extremely annoying and 100% will make 4 tabling impossible. why would they even do this dumb ****?
