Hi guys

I tried to find all the info I could in other threads and areas online but couldnt figure out a few things:


1. how likely am I to get deposits through with Canadian CCs? My CCs have never allowed deposits to gambling sites but apparently this sweepstakes method is different? Any suggestions besides using my normal day to day CC or does it not really matter?

2. What are withdraw methods? I see it used to be paypal but now that's removed. What are the available options and how can I set up for these prior to wanting a withdraw?

3. How much time bank are you given for each decision? is there an extended timebank option? limited use timebank etc?

4. is there a way to get my account/ID verified before depositing/withdrawing?

5. https://gyazo.com/88823cb84c64e9637457ef041f4e699c

what is the best deposit method of all these? sweeps cash is your bankroll correct? why is there also a free $xx.xx thing beside it as well? is it just a simple buy X gold coins and recieve X sweeps cash (real money) transaction?

6. How long do deposits take to clear and become available?

7. Are there any rakeback/bonus deals for playing/depositing etc?


Thanks guys, Just want to get things clarified before I go ahead and make a deposit

1) there should be a prepaid card available for deposits, if your regular card does not allow (even with your expressed permission?).

2) Beware, this is a problem for Canadian players. The withdrawals are happening, but feedback is that they take sometimes a long time. Also, I believe Quebec is not allowed, iirc. In the US, I use the same prepaid account to withdraw as I did to deposit. Any account that accepts ACH deposits can accept a withdrawal from Global.

3) standard timebank is short, maybe 15 seconds, each table has a bank of about 45 seconds. Timebank automatically engages if you have money in the pot, does not auto-engage otherwise (folds).

4) Sure, get a screenname registered, and use the customer support links to open Zendesk tickets for ID verification and withdrawal verification (these are two separate processes).

5) $weepscash is the real money, gold coins are the play money. This is all required by the sweepstakes loophole. Also, this requires a 100 percent playthrough before withdrawing. Anything withdrawn on Global must be won at a table.

DO NOT BUY THE 750.00 gold coin only option! This is only there for legal reasons, and DOES NOT include $weepscash.

6) This varies widely for Canadian players, unfortunately.

7) None. Zero. Nada. The rake is similar to other sites, but does not reduce for short handed play. This makes starting tables a rake trap. You can start tables, but should play tight until more players arrive.

thank you for your replies! all the info I needed. One last question I have is how wary should I be as a Canadian player when it comes to withdrawing? is it simply long wait times and thats it? how long have you heard of? Im not too worried if there's withdraw delays as I never withdraw out of necessity but I would prefer to simply recieve my money at some point, as guaranteed as possible, regardless of withdraw wait time haha

You will receive your money from Global Poker but i believe it has taken up to 45 days for Canadians. Why? I have no idea.

Just to clarify, you can't deposit in Global Poker. You are buying Gold Coins and getting free $weeps cash to play with.

Also, once you redeem your winnings, make sure that you provide the correct bank details. Good luck on the tables!

Hello,

I'm new to the community. How can I direct message one of the Global reps? Having some issues with my account.
