I got a similar email that others have reported about. 3 people living near me haven't verified their accounts. I know nothing about after they verified my account today as I haven't tried to withdraw again yet, but I plan to very soon.

My screen name is Skroobz. Please GlobalPokerCSKimbr help with this matter.

- Thanks

Hello,

I submitted a cash out this morning for 325.00. I received an email asking me about two people "playing on my network". I don't recognize either name, and I am the only person in this house who plays on this site.

How can I resolve this situation ASAP?

My SN is Slorgo.

Thank you.

To the post above mine, I got the same message but mine was my wife's account. Sounds like you made multiple accounts for some reason? If not I have no idea. Anyway. Money is in my PayPal account. Full time from cashing out was exactly 25 hours for 1500$.

Cashout requested :

June 3rd, 2:57am
06-06-2017 , 11:16 AM
I got the same message as multiple others. Have not gotten my money yet and I have no idea how they are going to get 2 people I have absolutely never heard of in my life. My first cashout was super easy. 2nd cashout now and I get this email from something I've never heard of. I sent Kimbr a PM, but no response. This is pretty ridiculous considering no one else in my house plays poker.

This site is a disaster.

GP - All the issues with vetting unrelated 3rd persons is HIGHLY concerning. It lends itself to the conclusion that you all have ZERO idea how public networks function.

I'd like you to shed some more details on how you're determining players are on the same network? Open communication would go a long way. There are also several network engineers and experts on this forum (myself included), who can help you make sense of things.

They didn't even know that they "supposedly" had their RNG certification for four months. How do you expect them to understand KYC and vetting of their players.

It's constant headaches. Some people are paid in a day and others it takes weeks. Support doesn't answer. Half of their reps on this board disappear or don't respond to PM's. Joke after joke.

I'm not even getting that far down into the weeds. It's just a simple ask: "How do you determine players are on the same network?" So far as I've read, this has been a separate issue from multi-users or any other clear breach of the TOS.

As an example, your home network is private, then overloaded on the public IP assigned by the ISP to your router. This public IP is part of a larger subnet which is then aggregated to a larger subnet by the ISP to reduce the size of the GRT, especially for international routes. Given that it appears that many of these 3rd party users are in similar geographic locations, it indicates that GP is confusing ISP sourced subnets with a common location.

Of further concern is that I travel frequently, and play on many different private and public networks. I regularly play on public wifi, on my cell phone, in hotel rooms, etc., and while I haven't had any cashout problems so far, I'm worried that I'll get caught up in the confusion at some point.

I don't understand the response Global Poker gave me. Here's my sequence of events:

1. I submitted a cash out and was sent the ID verification email, from support@globalpoker.com.

2. I replied to the email, to support@globalpoker.com, and sent my docs.

3. I received a reply from support@globalpoker.com saying:
Quote:
We noticed that you have emailed on the wrong gateway. Please resend your documents to support@globalpoker.com so we can further assist you.
4. So I repeated step #1, explaining how their response in #3 made no sense (waiting on their response). What does "wrong gateway" mean anyways (btw, I've been an IT guy for 25 years).

All my play and logins to Global Poker have always been from one IP address. No other users. Am I missing something?

This is what I was sent (full names omitted):

Hello xxxx,

Good day! We are contacting you on behalf of Global Poker Customer Service.

We have performed a routine check on your account and we noticed that our system traced another user from your play location. To clear this matter, please have them submit their verification document using their Global Poker account's registered email for confirmation:

As we are unable to see who the person behind the computer is, we can only base our facts on the data recorded by the system. Should these individuals be proven to be different person than you are, then we will consider this in reviewing your Cash Out request further. We hope you understand where we are coming from as this is for your account security and ownership as well and it is not that we cannot or do not want to pay valid winnings, but we are taking measures against fraud and breaking the game's Terms of Use.
We are looking forward to your reply.

Kind Regards,

Update: was resolved within 8 hours. They processed my cashout after posting here. I'll continue to play the site, but if this keeps up, it will be hard to not quit it.
06-06-2017 , 04:57 PM
I have cashed out 4 or 5 times already with GP and i have to say that they are doinga very good job! Besides my first cashout attempt(i had to get verified) all other cashouts have taken about 24 hours only. And holy moly you gotta love the action on this site.

This is truly the new day and era for Online poker in the United States, and i literally cant wait until the message gets out there even more.

Cashout req early this morning (5AM EST)

I'm sure my payouts will be processed EVENTUALLY, but the lack of competence is really painful.

Global Poker support has sent me two incoherent responses. The first was to resend my documents as my last one was sent "on the correct gateway" (no idea what that means). In every case I've replied to the same email that support sent, and even checked the Zendesk ticket and it has my response AND the documents I attached.

Global Poker sent me a third reply now asking me to resend the same documents I just sent them.

I can understand being SLOW due to demand (that's a good thing, right?) but the lack of competence is painful to endure.

Any time you want to email me back would be great!

Kimbr, can you help me with this. I have no idea who this person is. I have already verified two people and one cash out has went through. Requested my second one and now this. It seems to me that they are using this same excuse for a lot of people that are trying to cash out. HELP!

thanks,
Buttercoffee
This has been sorted as well. As a matter of fact, we're already processing your second request. Thank you for your patience and your cooperation in resolving this issue.

Thanks
PayPal deducts 4.4% + $0.30 for each cash out request.

Here's the specific email (which is very strange):

"Hi [redacted],

We are contacting you in behalf of Global Poker Customer Service.

We noticed that there are one user traced from your play location or network. Should you want to help us clear this matter, please have them submit their verification document (Driver's license, Passport or National ID) showing proof of age and address using their own Global Poker account's registered email to support@globalpoker.com for confirmation:

Firstly, their email states that there is "one user traced" from my play location, and then goes on to suggest there are two users from my location. So, it's contradictory and makes no sense.

Secondly, I'm the only individual I know who plays from my laptop and work PC. Nobody else uses these two computers, and the networks (work and home) have nobody else playing poker.

Thirdly, I do not have any clue who the supposed person is...Their name is not remotely familiar. I did some general public record's searches and there are not more than a handful of people with this name in my state, none of whom reside in my County.

Based on my issue, and this issue coming up with others, I'm very suspicious/concerned.

Can we get some feedback from Global on this matter? My Global account username is the same as my username here.
This has been resolved as well. Thank you for your cooperation. We're looking forward to processing your next cash out request.

Please help me resolve this. I typically play on my home Wifi but do on occasion play over Verizon LTE. I have no idea who the person that the account security team wants me to verify but the same issue came up with my first cashout request. Is this an ongoing issue through those who play on mobile networks?

Anything that you can do would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Please check the last email sent to you by colleague, Nancy. Thanks!

The customer support rep messaged back and fourth with me 4 times JUST TODAY. Also messaging my wife to get her account verified. The total process took maybe 6 hours after I finally noticed the support reps first email. My cashout is officially approved as of 7:32 pm EST the next day. The rep told me to check my email and I'll receive notification of when it's moved to my PayPal. Will update. AMAZING CUSTOMER SUPPORT. This will be my second cash out. Best internet poker website out right now in my personal opinion. Good luck everyone!
Thank you for sharing your recent cash out experience with us, Im-A-LAGTard. Cheers!

First cash out received today (approved yesterday), requested about a week ago. Like others, received an email saying others played on network. I've played on public wifi and this was the culprit, short delay for what was already a quick payout in my opinion.

Second payout requested yesterday, will update when it posts on Paypal.
