The bet amount displays over top of the button, hiding the dealer button from our sight.
-Increase minimum buy in to 30-50bb minimum. If a player wants to play with less money, they can sit at lower stake.
-Make the time bank automatically engage
-keep the 2hr ratholing limit in effect.
-don't ever provide downloadable hand histories.
**This was already posted by another player, but if you care about long term game quality, consider lowering the amount of tables that a player can sit. There are almost no recreational players who ever play more than 4 tables, so by having a table limit beyond that only rewards regs. What'll end up happening is that that the tables will become filled with multi tabling regs and the recreational players will lose much faster and therefore enjoy their experience at Global much less. You won't see many regs agreeing with this opinion because if affects how much money they can take out of the pool, but the last thing you want to do is cater your poker site to the biggest winning players. **
I agree with most of this, but I think the player should have the option to auto start the time bank and not have it forced. Maybe in the settings give a radio button to auto start.
I'm certain some individual will chime in about 10bb players not having a right to an opinion, but everyone is entitled to theirs.... even him. I don't mind if they up the min BB buy ins at all. I think it may steer some rec players away.
The 4 table max I'd definitely agree with. I'm no grinder by any means but I do enjoy playing as many as I can and I see the same people at every table. Put a few rec players in the mix and they are losing their bankroll faster.
I also definitely agree with above statements that customer support needs to step their game up in a hurry. I don't know what percentage of customers they are losing, but it is not a good situation.
