I've played on this site and I consider myself an intermediate player. I play fairly conservative but take calculated risks. That being said, the site is clearly corrupt with quite a bit of collusion. Play at your own risk and be leery of people that say they play and do great on there. GP most likely has prop players that try to promote the site. Also, their deposit method is inconsistent, sometimes your bank will deny payment. They changed the withdrawal process recently and its a bit complicated and you have to provide a bank statement, ID, and proof of address, etc... Also read their terms carefully, it lists the many ways they can deny paying you, e.g anything they consider offensive in chat. I would recommend you pass on this one. There are plenty of other reputable sites.

evidence of corruption or collusion?
source?
I have a credit card which I’ve only ever used to deposit on Global Poker and nothing else. They still flag the deposits as possible fraud because it’s an offshore processor. After I call them it goes through just fine and I can deposit as much as I want. I have another card that I use and my experience has been the same. I used a debit card once and it went through just fine.
The only other options for US players are WPN, Chico and PaiWangLuo networks. All of which have had a plethora of issues over the years which anyone can read about on these forums. If you play on Global you will he playing vs Americans and Canadians. If you play on any of those other sites you will be playing against many players from many different countries.

Global has its fair of issues for sure, but most of what you listed is not proven. Feel free to provide evidence.

I had my account locked and reviewed because evidently people accused me of cheating. I was putting in 10 hours a week at that time so lol. More likely than not you just aren’t as good as you think you are. Sorry

How is the first bit different to any other site asking you to prove who you are, and I doubt that they actually refuse paying you for being offensive in chat - but cracking down on idiots who are offensive in chat is a good thing fyi

Most sites will accept bank statements as one of the documents for verification but will accept utility bills as well. Global poker requires bank statement since the switch to Worldpay from PayPal. I’m not aware of any other sites that have a requirement like this.

shocked that it's a brand new account..... I was 100% certain it would be a new account before clicking on thread

You're an idiot with no proof.

talk is cheap. Proof of any claims? I have had no issues getting money off. There are plenty of Global issues but none that you mentioned.

This hand is pretty sketch. WTF is the SB even betting with? He can't have the Ac or Kc

villain at this level the btn checks back the nuts deep vs 2 players on the turn?

My call is thin, but I have 3 clubs - 4 clubs on board - and the whole hand makes no sense unless they are colluding. Also the BTN was making crazy plays with blockers, so he was capable of bluffing in this spot, but it looks super suspect at the river. I'd really like to see the SB hand, but no possible way.

Also both players 1 tabling (6 going at the time) - out of all tables, and they are both up playing fishy. Looks like a multi accounter but can't be 100%

Majority of the time, they're a brand new account on 2p2 or they've gone busto so may times, they are tilted, create another 2p2 acc to come bash the site.

"I'm an accomplished, intermediate player. I've played hundreds of thousands of hands online & live. I can tell you, this site is rigged!"

His complaint of identity verification is absurd.

Hey OP, this is the softest site out there, if you can't build your BR on GP, take a look at your game because unfortunately for you... that would be your problem.

Believe me I am no PLO expert, and if you ever sit at a NLH game with me, you will see I am not expert their either

That said, I don't know why you think he played it so that the only thing that can be happening is collusion. He does have the Q as well, which means boats are less likely. The T is also an interesting card for him to have on the Q9 texture as well.

But again... am likely totally flawed in all of this logic, which is why you don't see my screen name at PLO200.

With that said, if you suspect collusion, make sure you are sending that to support. They likely can check the SB hand, and the play history between those two players. If they are colluding as you alleged, then Global support is the group you want to talk to.

he should bet turn to build a pot, unlikely anyone is going to bet his hand for him (SB is ether an idiot or cheating) but they will call bets (sets and flushes) and once the river bricks he will only get value from a flush. Weaker flushes are in check/call mode - like me. Just need to find out what SB had.

Im not able to cashout???!!!!

did you have to take a selfie with your identification to cashout?

Take a selfie with my passport in order to cashout?
Ive been depositing and cashing out on global for over a year. I am now having trouble cashing out. I submitted a perfectly legible photo of the front and back of my passport. They are claiming it is not sufficient and in order to process my 140$ cashout require me to take a selfie with my passport. Ive done tens of thousands in volume on this site and Ive never heard of something like this before. I am willing to facsimile or mail a photocopy but this seems preposterous .customer service claims this is standard procedure on the site. Has anyone else been required to do this, is this Normal? Please advise.

If you want your money then take the damn selfie and send it to them. Stop whining over nothing. Reading your post was a waste of time.

Just take the damn selfie and be done with it.

FWIW, sending in selfies is not standard procedure, but it is not a unique request. I remember reading, back in 2011, pokerstars requesting selfies. I also thought I read in this forum a like request.

You asked for advise. Don't make this a battle.

I was asked to provide a fresh photo. Nothing weird in it.
Just take it and get your $140.

Looks like you made a bad river call and are salty about it.

Yeah I felt somewhat the same way about it, and will for sure trust your thoughts over anything I know.

And still if djeveans feels something is dodgy, a ticket to support is the place to start. Even if this play is or is not questionable. It is hard for support to see patterns when people just complain in random forums.

REPLY: Actually, I do have proof. I turned in two suspicious players and they actually sent me an email confirming it. You're naive if you think there are not colluters. I have been playing poker for over 20 years online and live play. I am an average player and play only few hours a day. Low stakes, I doubt the cheats and colluders risk playing higher stakes, too many eyes on it. If I get beat by a bluff or legit good play, I am good with it. Play if you dare I really don't care one way or the other. I am just giving new players my experience. Maybe you are a prop player for them. I would say do you have proof they are not rigged?

let's see the email

This post is trash, DEPORT

" actually I do have proof" says every nerd who wants us to think they have some substantial amount of evidence to back up their ludicrous claims while simultaneously knowing they made the post on tilt and have nothing

I'm going to help you and if you take it as me being rude, that's fine. But here is the only way to explain everything that is going on. You are very, very bad at poker. You needed to know that, I hope this helps.

Cheaters and colluders are not going to avoid high stakes, but pillage the micros.

For once in my life, a degree in Sociology has come in handy!

This is not how cheats and criminals think or act.

Thanks OP!

I hope everyone is having a great weekend. Since OP was substantiate his claims, I'll be closing this thread now.
