Deposits are virtually instant. Which package did you buy? There's one that doesn't include Sweeps cash, it's $75. If you bought that one all you get is gold coins.

I was wondering why that package is even listed? Only reason I could think of is to further their "sweepstakes" model.

My first post here. I started Global Poker last week and have found Customer service to respond pretty quickly. Went broke about 5 times but finally made some nice coin. Did a cash out and sent all documents yesterday. Hopefully will update soon on the results and how quickly the cash out process goes. Fingers crossed.

Hello there. Is Cableguy1973 also your username on GP?

Yes... thats me.

Lol, its pretty humorous that this thread lives on. The OP's, 90% better than the rest of the world, legacy of ridiculous rant is months later proven wrong over and over and over and over again.

That apology is coming anytime now....

well, OP might have been proven to be wrong but theres still a lot of good info here. People who lived through Black Friday just tend to be a little skittish I guess.

I like it. Reminds us what a loser OP is. I tried to talk to him at the tables and he won't answer lol. Maybe he'll surprise us in the end, man up and come make the loud public apology he promised.

Agreed there's some good info here. I lived through Black Friday too and just recently got my Full Tilt bankroll back as I was incorrectly labeled as an affiliate so I was in the last wave of payments. I understand skittish. But OP was way, way over the top out of line and promised to come back and make an equally loud apology if proven wrong, which he was. And which he didn't.

Same here.. Waiting on cash out for the past 7 days.. no answer from support at global poker. Global Poker: your answer is that you require documentation to withdraw? right? I upload all necessary documentation. but I don't see any cash-out or even an email from you guys. Stop Lying to people. I've send like 18 emails to them NO ANSWER from Global POKER.. just in case if you are wondering here is my case number #734126.

REALLY - CASH ME OUTSIDE-Can I get help on my cash out.. Waiting on my money for the past 7 days.
case #734126 GP: Sky_high... Documentation emailed. But no funds released.

This company will be shut down shortly. It is legit ALL a lie. Paypal has no idea about them. I use to work there and just spoke with there compliance department today. Laurence Escalante is running a fraudulent company. Most of his friends are the players you face. FYI.

So Blythe-Tinker and Escalante are running a scam? They decided that decades long careers of making tons of money legitimately was boring and they opted for scamming people. Scroll to page 9 on this link....

And you can see they had almost $6 million in cash year end. That is according to Grant-Thornton's certified audit. That "is legit ALL" proof your claim is bogus. Fund raising continues and it is footnoted that another 500K was raised in early January.

Here is a copy of their prospectus on file with the local regulatory body for raising money

Just look at this nefarious group of people running the company with no background at all in the industry...

Can not argue one way or the other as to whether Escalante has a hundred friends that are really bad poker players, but if so.....thanks.

PayPal has no idea who a client is, one that is a public company no less, that has literally sent hundreds of transfers over several months, yet somehow they know about my account and were able to flag it for some random purchases on my card a couple of months back. They have no qualms with thousands of transfers into bitcoins, probably half for things the US government is unable to tax, (I mean deems unlawful). PayPal will take fees from every single source they can unless the government tells them they have some liability in it. They are no bastion of integrity.

Great first post, welcome to the forum and thanks for the heads up!

I can't tell if people are trolling at this point or if the level of stupidity is just extreme on this site. Judging by the play, I'm going with stupidity levels (jk games are really tough, please stay away).

I thought those last ones were trolling. At least I hoped because that level of ignorance is just mind boggling.

And they say poker is dead. lmao

Gluten, I did a $2500 cash out. As my first cash out. Now granted its only been 3 days. Sent in all the documentation they asked. Do you think I should have done a smaller cash out for my first time? Im itching to play some more $2/$4 as I find the game to be pretty easy to beat on the site but not going to make another deposit while waiting for that cashout.

The size of the cashout does not matter...you'll be fine. If you haven't received a response in 5 days or so I'd just pm Kimbr here and see if she can help you out.

So, now I'm trying to Deposit with some of the money I cashed out the other day in my paypal, which I did recieve by the way, and it wont let me. I even tried my preferred method as my debit card and it still wont take my money. Anyone else having deposit issues as of now? I saw they went down at 7am for like 45 minutes this morning for site maintenance, just wondering if that has something to do with it? Of course no response from support, and I've been trying to deposit since about 9am. Wondering if paypal is cutting us off lol

Thanks

Yesterday, I was trying to be positive about online poker. Nah.
Global Poker is a bunch of usual BS. They're QUICK to take deposits, but are slower than molasses on an Arctic winters day to pay out.

Playing here is like taking your money to the Bellagio poker room in Vegas, knowing full well that the casino manager comes by the hard count room and swipes all the cash out of the cage, puts it in a suitcase, and runs off to pay Pauly with it. What does that leave you with?

A BUNCH OF USELESS CERAMIC CHIPS.

1. There's no phone number to resolve issues.
2. There's no replies with emails sent. They send you a FU auto-reply. "Were busy doing other things, so suck it until we're good and ready to pay you."

Would you go to the Bellagio with a few Franklins, play NLHE, win a 700 dollar pot, and go to the cashiers cage and ask for a payout, knowing full well they didn't have the 700 to pay you, and them handing you an IOU for the balance? HELL NO. Nobody would. That's bad business. Fortunately, the Bellagio poker room has a couple of hundred thousand dollars on hand to pay it's players, and more to back it up with a simple phone call, right here and right NOW.

When there's REAL MONEY in play, these people should be ON THE BALL, just like any other casino. Hell, even before the Friday shutdown, the illegitimate casinos would pay you out in one click of a button.

This is a legit casino people say? Put you money where your mouth is. Get me/us/everyone our ID verification's processed, shut your pie hole, and get us our God Damned money. That's that.

I don't know about you all, but I like to play poker and make some money with it. With that said, I also like to have access to it, as well.

If Global Poker doesn't want to pay it's customers, why not just issue us DEBIT CARDS? It's as if you have become an online bank, with one stipulation, YOU DONT ALLOW YOUR CUSTOMERS TO WITHDRAW THEIR MONEY!!! LOL!!!!!

There's an old saying I like. "If one says something about something, it's probably not true. If two say the same thing, it's still not true. If everyone is saying it, you'd better give it careful consideration."

There's a TON of people on this forum, and other forums, that have all said the same thing. Simply put, Global Poker is an absolute scam. I'm starting to believe it.

Oh well. Lesson learned. I should have given it "careful consideration", as many have put forewarning to it's "customers/victims".

LMAO at you new accounts with this crap. If you actually read the cash outs thread you'll see there's a TON of people on this forum who are having no trouble getting paid. I got a 4 figure cash yesterday. The majority of the few who post they haven't are either not able to figure out the verification docs process or are coming with "ZOMG I sent my docs 2 days ago and nothing this must be a scam!"

My verification docs took 5 days to be processed (this was back in January, the speed is going to be relative to the backlog of requests they get). My cash outs have all been received faster than promised.

Anyone doubting this company is legit should search for recent posts by a dewd where he links you to all the info about the people in charge of this publicly traded company.

There is nothing wrong with some healthy skepticism, especially considering what we in the US went through with Black Friday and with criminals like the ones that stole money from players on Full Tilt, Locke poker, and Full Flush. But none of those were publicly traded company's with oversight and auditing responsible to answer to shareholders. This doesn't mean things can't go bad and Global is beyond reproach, but ffs it should instill a level of confidence that goes well beyond ZOMG it's been 3 days I'm calling scam.

Exercise some patience and rational thought. I know we have become a society of instant gratification and self entitlement but man, take a step back and chill a bit people.

My verification docs took 5 days. They may be running longer now with the back log of support requests they have. Also, make sure their email address is not going to hit your spam box just to be safe, in case they contact you back regarding the docs.

As far as the amount of the cashout, I think Rutledge is right, size doesn't matter.

What kind of error message are you getting, if any? They had deposit issues a while back but it was resolved, I haven't heard of any problems depositing lately. Except from people who don't read what they're buying and take the gold coins only purchase then wonder where their sweepscash is lol. Pro Tip: Don't buy the $75 package.

Global Poker,

Didn't we ALREADY go through PayPal's Identity Process?

Isn't this enough? I certainly don't have to go through an Identity Verification when I buy things from Amazon.

Being that VHL Holdings is a "purchase", and VHL Holdings is a "debit", per the guidelines of PAYPAL'S agreement policy, shouldn't this nullify you from your company Identification policy process?

I only bring this up, as you do not have a timely fashion in your business model to process your OWN criteria for your OWN customers.

This should be a one hit wonder, and an absolute no-brained thinking process, Global. You have LIVE money in play, and you should be processing this criterion as FAST as you get it.

In the obvious and apparent case that you can't process this, this leaves the domino effect of not being able, or not having the capacity to do your payouts for new customers. However, I'm observant that you are spending booty-loads of money slathering Global Poker on advertising with Facebook, yet you can't even process a simple identity verification and a cash out? What could possibly wrong with this situation, Global? Did we forget the A,B,C's, and the 1,2,3's? How can you sustain your new clientele with horrid neglect? Do you expect that this business model will be sustain itself and not be trial tested? Do you think that people will not lash back and have a negative effect on customer draw? Do you think that this blatant neglect for new customers will have other new clientele flocking toward your business, throwing sizable amounts of money into their poker accounts? Nope.

Oh Wait.....I forgot.
Maybe, just maybe.....You don't want to pay?

It could be just as simple as that, and the above questions are absolutely irrelevant.

LOL!!!!

Thank God for the low deposit I made. If I can't trust a company to do a 100 buck transaction, I certainly can't trust that they'd do one with another zero attached.

Just sayin......

Andrew Putz more like it...I withdrew $2,500 yesterday and received the money in my PayPal account today. You MAD that I can follow instructions and be patient while you can't?

Its the weekend, so Kim may be off. This should help you get going on your way

Sorry for the delay. I just sent you an e-mail.
