I still maintain there are people (recs) that can't deposit just now.

Would be helpful if people who read this thread were to go through the motions of depositing (and stopping just before the final part) to see if the red box of death is happening still.

What happened to all that Nascar money?

Curious to which U.S. friendly site has better traffic?

I looked at ACR the last couple mornings and they aren't exactly a variety of action at certain times....

ACR I believe is still easily the most US traffic, probably Bovada 2 and then maybe BetOnline? Always seems to be multiple tables running at each low-mid stake when I check.

ACR or in other terms... WPN, Winning Poker Network and all five (5) of their skins are ranked 9th for live traffic on Pokerscout.com

There's currently 5658 online, 798 of those are in ring games

Rarely do I see lots of tables going for PLO on BOL. It is very limited in action IMO.

Almost 9pm EA on a Saturday and the games are dead. Tables running have at least 5(most 6) regulars.

Uh but NASCAR though?

CS Kimbr pass it on to the appropriate departments... that they need to find a way again, where players can deposit with their debit and credit cards without having to call the card issuer and enable international transactions. To make the deposit go through.

Most people are unaware that this is why their deposits are not going through.

And wont bother to find out why. They'll just move on...

I PM'ed Kimber about two issues that the site has had since launch (button glitch and no reduced rake SH) and her reply was "As an online poker player, we understand that you want the obvious changes and you want it right away but it's not as easy as it sounds. " and didn't reply to any of my followup PM

So uh I guess it will just never happen.

Site has turned into a joke. Traffic sucks and no new recreational players are depositing. Thank God I was graduate in a week with a doctorate and won't have to deal with the stress of online poker as my only source of income anymore.

Global needs to do something asap or this site will be history by 2020.

This is coming from a reg with over $250,000 in online profit.

Judging by Globals business model, their plan was to make a cash grab and exit when they had to. Sweeps cash is like money for time

I really only play mtts but cash games definitely took a major hit from a year ago. Tourneys the guarantees are higher though.

Recs moved to MTTs and Jackpots

I'd love to know if something changed with the cash game rake over the past year. I went from crushing (25k) August/September, to not winning any at cash since. I understand variance and all... but this is bordering on ridiculousness.

didn't you play 100nl? anyway, every 100nl table has 5 nitregs (myself included) at all times. sometimes even 6.

200nl is packed with former 2knl/1knl regs too. ffs i was playing with mountaindew (at 100nl WTF) and ghostclicker this morning

games are dead asf

ur sick high iq to swap to mtts. i'm about to i think

I played 100 nl up to 400 nl regularly, with some shot taking at higher stakes.

I stopped playing cash a couple of months ago, complete nit fest. It sucks that the games just died overnight.

Maybe we should consider NOT streaming and teaching the entire population how to successfully play NL hold em?

I was fortunate enough to get into a doctorate program and will be makin 6 figs, so the games drying up doesn't affect me too much. Who it does have a significant impact on, are the regulars who do this as their only source of income.

Don't quit your day job to do this guys, not even close to worth it.

Training sites/coaching are one thing; twitch streams I think are good. Most of the big name streamers are not winners in the games or imo the viewers will not implement strategy correctly and instead be more enticed to try out the site.

This sites main problem now is the issues with deposits now as well as the rake. This seems nothing more like a site going for a quick money grab using the ease/reputation of a PayPal and letting it die out. Look at the early days of this forum with the rep responding to almost every thread to now, PayPal to peoples' credit cards being denied, rake increases, not fixing their software (still waiting for that button glitch ), removing 10/20. I hope that one day WPN actually get their act together and give US players a site.

ACR has just had a scandal, wouldn't play there

Agreed

Just played in their daily $500, there were roughly 700 entries, so there were at least that many people who played 50 hands today and had at least 0.11 in their accounts lol.....I assume a lot of eligible players don't mess with the daily (I rarely do unless I'm bored and not in the mind to play a cash game)

I'd love to see more action at the cash games, but what can they do? I see them on facebook all the time, but I don't know that more advertising would be a good idea....remember what happened to fan duel and draft kings a few years back....

I don't trust ACR, just too many instances of cheating, just last night i came across a youtube video of a guy identifying bots....I can't stand Ignition and the nameless, avatarless layout (maybe I would get used to it with time)


All that said, during the really important times when I am hitting the sauce and looking for action, I can always find a proper table at which to donate

I like Global and hope they do well and will support them as best i can

Cardrunners first came out somewhere around 2007, so the whole "streaming/training sites are drying up the games" statements are pretty weak. It's not as if recs or weak regs have suddenly improved across the board because they saw some streamer grind for 30 minutes.

Global's problem is nothing more than folks not being able to easily deposit. I suppose it's gone for good, but if PayPal and 10/20 returned tomorrow I would wager the quality of the games would go back to early 2018 levels within 2 weeks.

Agree to disagree, sir.

Stream on! I just hope you have a 9-5 when online poker turns into a minimum wage job.

I do agree than recs need easy deposit options though.

People have been predicting this since 2009. Hasn't happened yet. I think we will be okay for a while. ESP with state regulations not allowing players from outside the US. I still see a fairly good online eco system for the next 10 years.

Shouldn't GP be pushing their 100% legit status for deposits/cashouts/transactions? Just the same as cheating on this legal site should garner punishments consistent with cheating at lottery. Aren't they in a position to blow up still?
