I’d like to see them find a way to stop people from seat changing. The problem with your suggestion is you would most likely lose your seat when the bug occurs with the “do u wanna continue playing?” pop up.

Make the rebuy tourney's true rebuys. You should be able to rebuy anytime your stack falls below a starting stack and you should be able to add on at the beginning of the tourney. Again, this is costing them money as they would always make the gaurentee if they do this.

I loved how the tournies ran with no late entry, for a person with a 9 to 5 it was nice being done 11ish for the night on the $5 & $33 even if you won.

unlike WPN with 4hrs of late reg.

But with all the other issues I probably won't be there anyways so have at it.

Looked like there was some Global Poker advertising behind home plate on the SF Giants v. Cubs broadcast. (Unless an old man read that incorrectly )

I agree. I'm more inclined to play a MTT since they don't have late reg since I have a 9-5. I'm sure we're the minority though.

100%. I would much rather no late reg, no rebuy. Mostly for the exact same reason.

Me too. I would guess that this is actually a majority view rather than minority especially for east coast folks. Nice to play a handful of evening MTT's and not ruining your sleep schedule about it.

A few more mid - high buyin mtts would be nice. There doesn't have to be any guarantee on them. The selection on Sunday is particularly bad, especially if you don't want to grind 200 gold coin cash game hands.
07-15-2018 , 05:46 PM
The MTT's that have Late Reg should stay up in the lobby and not fall down 2/3rd's of the page where all other "running" MTT's are once they start....wait until after Late Reg ends for that to occur.

You should be able to withdraw your money and not have to "play it through."

This isn't the custom anywhere in the poker world and shouldn't be the case here.

I deposited some money here and decided very quickly that I don't like the interface and the tournaments offered, so i wanted to move the remaining $1,500 of $2,500 out and now I can't. So either I will lose the money or I will run it up from there. What a pos.

Strange, many people in these very threads say that play through is actually quite common. You should probably stay away from statements like "anywhere" as all it takes is one other poker site to do what you claim they don't for your point to be completely dismissed.

Second point, either A the money isn't a big deal to you, or B you make very rash decisions. Because if I was trying something out for the first time, I am putting in like $20 and seeing what happens at the low stakes tables. That way if it turns out to not be what I want... meh I lost $20.

Third, the play though also doesn't seem to be that difficult to do if you open a few tables. Push through, and then make better decisions with money in the future.

Never (ironic I use this word) invest more money in an investment that has no guarantees than you can afford to lose. It doesn't matter how sweet the deal seems if it puts you in a bad spot, then it wasn't a sweet deal.

Let me stand 100%, irrevocably and incomprehensibly corrected. Industry standard is 10-15% generated rake before cashouts will be (or could be corrected) - if you want a source go look it up yourself like I just did... Im not your Google.

If you sensed sarcasm you were 100% correct, because again my point stands; and that being, it is COMPLETE GARBAGE and is an egregious act to make players play through 100% of the deposit.

No other site makes you play through 100%.
07-19-2018 , 07:09 PM
If you care about the sustainability of your high stakes PLO scene at all, LET US RUN IT TWICE. HOW HAS THIS NOT HAPPENED YET?

Isn't 10% -15% generate rake about the same as 100% playthrough? I was under the impression and believe I seen in another thread that if you deposited $1000 and played 10 x $100 tournaments you would clear the withdraw amount, in which you would have generated 10% in rake.

PLEASE fix the MTT lobby’s as it does not update the number of players remaining etc.

Would also be nice to have a “lobby” button on each MTT table that opens that specific tourneys lobby.
07-23-2018 , 01:49 AM
MGGA Make Global Great Again

Lower rake
Fix tournament structures
Make contests or bonus for cash players
Sit and go leaderboards
Make Add ons +EV
Remove advertising from PokerNews
Make a phone call reception line

Just a few thoughts
07-29-2018 , 10:04 PM
Please fix all the known bugs.

Add some weekend afternoon PLO MTTs... $30 $2500 gtd or $50 $4k gtd FO with feeder satellites??

You didn't deposit money to a poker site. You bought Gold Coins, which came with free entries to their sweepstakes. You can't withdraw sweepstakes entries for cash, you have to win cash in the sweepstakes. After you have used up all your free sweepsrakes entries, you are free to withdraw your winnings. Their entire business model depends on that dynamic.

they should have easier customer service system. Emailing only can really be frustrating sometimes especially when big issues arise. being able to talk to Global Poker support through phone calls would be really nice

People should be contacting them through Zendesk. Faster replies than using E-mail. Right on their support page.

if you think rake is high now, try it with call in helpdesk support.

I can understand the frustration, and your situation in particular would be something I would not want to deal with, I get it, but having phone support is beyond expensive. I say we stick with email and zendesk solutions.

Maybe a chat option wouldn't be that expensive and might get that real time feel we want from phone calls.

The exact same thing happened to me. I filed a ticket about it.

@shawnb
Yea i do use Zendesk. But waiting for emails back and forth one at a time can be annoying.
Especially when they only send 1 email a day.

@splayaa
true, i never considered the cost.
Chat option would be nice too. some real time that can solve issues quicker.

Hi Support,


I think it would be a great idea if GO introduced some lower limit micro games and SNGs than the ones that are currently offered.

The site needs continual source of fresh money and players across all limits, and given the recent GP/World Pay Fiasco I think this is a great way to get some more recreational players involved and playing.

At worst, this can't possibly be of any detriment since GP will still collect rake and players with low balances can practice/splash/donk...etc

I propose offering .01/.02, and .005/.01 cash games
And .02 (27 Man), .25 (6,9,27), .33 (6,9, 27) and .44 (6,9,27) in Hyper and Turbo format.

Pokerstars has had much success with this.
08-27-2018 , 08:41 PM
Recently every time i log in several lobbies from past tourneys keep showing up.
