r.i.p global. im from new york. says its shut down here. only available in 5 states now. and some parts of canada
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.
Did they remove the rakeback vault for everyone or just NV players?
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.
Twice today Ive flopped a set, going all in and someone calling with nothing to catch runner runner for a straight like they know its coming....just another day on Global Poker.
Another flopped set L, raise with kings from SB, BB reraises, and I push and he snap calls with ****** Q 10....flop comes J 3 K and you already know how the rest goes.....**** this site cant wait til WPT opens.
are you people real?
so you're just a dumbass... got it
There is a thread I made about this; but posting the content here as well.
Global Poker Poker Tables have RTP. (right click, select magnify image if it's too small)
WTF! If the images provided in comment #942 are authentic; then Global Poker is admitting that the outcome of hands is manipulated. RTP sounds like what the gaming commissions require of slot machines. That they must pay out a minimum percentage of the money played. Is that what Global Poker is stating? That they have a minimum pay out standard. If that is the case then how can the outcome of a hand be truly the result of a randomly generated deck of cards?
This is wild if true about the RTP. It's the rng rtp. Groundbreaking.
"Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by incompetence."
This is almost certainly a case of a customer service rep not understanding the difference between RNG and RTP or how they apply to different casino games.
To a layperson, it's easy to just say, "Yep, we use random thingamajigs in our poker games" without any real grasp of what those thingamajigs actually do.
That said, Global's track record on game integrity is abysmal. The Project Baby scandal alone should make anyone think twice about trusting them. But I highly doubt the game is rigged in the way Mr. Big Stack is implying.
Ty for acknowledging how ground breaking this potentially is.
I feel like I've done the leg work that I'm able to, but many users are going to require GP CEOs stating as much as stated in the screen caps.
(Can bring a horse to water; can't make them drink).
I do think more work needs be done. This is like pointing to smoke coming over the tops of the trees and saying there is a fire coming from that direction. It's not the fire itself, it's the smoke that signals a fire is there.
The problem you have is there are several good players who's sharkscope graphs go straight up and bad players graphs that go straight down. The sample of tournaments they play is huge too. If the RTP theory was correct then neither would occur. I can also confirm the graphs that go straight up are live mtt players. I follow them on X. I can DM a few screen names if you want. Not interested in posting their names.
One more thing you haven't considered is sweepstakes laws ( I believe) are required to be games of chance. I think Global is saying these things about poker on purpose so they can offer these games. They operate in a grey area so they bend the rules
Do not change my post again, I don't care what you're doing with photo shop or cut and copy. You need help, clearly you've lost your mind. Mods my post was made to look like I typed something I didn't
If you spent more time studying preflop ranges and ICM instead of posting riggie posts you'd probably be winning more. Dudes banned for a reason but still gets to post incessantly.
