Sooo... has anyone else been unable to purchase coins since this WA thing?

I keep getting an error message that I can't buy because of the new state laws in WA, but I'm in Alaska.

I would email support if you haven't yet. My guess is they are identifying, incorrectly, that your IP is associated to WA and therefore blocking your purchase.

I live in WA, only for like 18 more days now but I feel like I could of been the straw that broke the camels back, then again I have an ego.

Unlike many of you, I am happy to see Washington State make a smart move and ban Global Poker. I am a huge fan of online poker/gambling, but this site is probably one of the most, if not the most corrupt. I am hoping other states ban them. I would support a ban in all states.

as turbulent as the state of online poker is, especially in such politically jacked up states as washington, a back up plan never hurts

somebody's tilted. you get a few too many bad beats or what?

Point Of Order. WA didn't ban Global.

WA passed a law saying that when you spend real USD to acquire items or in game currency that in game currency or items have value and therefore all of the rules apply to how actual USD works with games.

I bet you're really good at pokering.

Yes, its true I suck at lottery bingo sites. That is what Global Poker is. I can't wait to see what happens as other states follow WA. I am sure Global will be fine, they can focus on EU and Canada markets. They will only lose out on tens of millions from the US market.

You're entire posting history is about whining like a little brats about poker sites out to get you. I can't imagine how GP, or any other site, will be able to handle losing your $25 a month in rake.

You may or may not suck at poker or lottery sites, but you do suck at comprehension. Please don't let that stand in the way of your deposits.

I have been posting about Global Poker and how the games are rigged for months. Here is a great article that sums up what most of us have experienced. I know most of the players that are posting in this article and it is 100% true. If 2+2 cares about the poker community and legit poker, they should NOT promote Global Poker. It is definitely a scam site.

Article: https://professionalrakeback.com/global-poker-review

Great article? That site has zero credibility. What you linked is a completely biased, unorganized rant, that was only written because Global does not have an affiliate program.

Let me just google imright.com real quick

You need to stop cross-posting the same thing multiple times, none of them where it belongs, and twice in consecutive posts in the same thread. If you want to complain about the RNG, there is a thread in this forum for that specifically. Of course, the article you linked in no way supports your RNG claims.

That aside, if you have proof that Global is "definitely a scam site", then you should start a thread providing said proof so everyone can see it. And I don't mean another post full of your anecdotes about colluders and sweepstakes; I'm sure another one of those would just be locked, as it should be.

If you want to be taken seriously, you need to provide a reason for people to do so.

Months? As in you have brought up serious concerns no one has addressed in a repated provable fashion?

You have 7 posts bro (as of my post). Joined in October 2018. Unless you would like to tell us about your other 2+2 screen names.

Here are 952,000 results that prove poker stars is rigged

https://www.google.com/search?client...r+stars+rigged

And here is 1.1 Million that prove party poker is rigged

https://www.google.com/search?client...31.-VFqnx64LgY

And global has 528,000 that prove Global poker is rigged

https://www.google.com/search?client...67.DWZsNPgxNZY

So based on the numbers Global is clearly only half as rigged as poker stars and 40% as rigged as party poker.

By the way, this quick "analysis" is way more "proof" than you have brought forth. So let's see that evidence, for those of us who remain skeptical of your claims.

As someone involved in the creation of said article, I can confirm that in no way, shape, or form, does the article state that Global Poker's RNG is rigged.

That said, there are myriad issues with Global Poker and we do not support nor recommend them at this time.

Much of what you wrote is fluff and wither inaccurate or attempting to guide to a desired conclusion. Global absolutely ****ed up the PayPal to WP transfer and it was down right grimy. Their customer zendesk group isn't very knowledgeable about banking, nor are most networks customer service reps. It is completely misleading to quote noobs bad feelz as some sort of legit argument regarding the RNG. The RNG certified by the same company that does other sites you have an affiliate agreement with and also have loads of riggie complaints. Those you somehow seem to miss when discussing them.

The sweepstakes laws are public and a legal opinions can be obtained easily enough as to whether they are operating inside it. It is also easy to get money off the site. Virtually every problem has been the fault of the player. I've personally helped a handful of different people get their money issue resolved, including someone with a fairly large transaction.

Global's zendesk support sucks, as does every network. I've had to email f'n PokerStars four times over the same issue and numerous phone calls. Every network has riggies abounding with bad feelz. Every site has collusion and bots.

You've had affiliate agreement with networks well past solvency and continued to say positive things about them. If you, and every other affiliate, had an agreement with Global, every report would be written just in the same tone as other affiliate networks.

Global has issues for sure, email support is staffed with potatoes, mostly. Their swap to WorldPay was as classless and slimey as it could get. They pay out quickly and cater to Zynga quality players who call bets and ask if they won at showdown. They are also registered with two Securities regulatory agencies and their financials and all pertinent information is available to anyone ambitious enough to read it.

this is all that needs to be said.

That's exactly what we wrote. We were not positive on this fact. We stated all along that their partnership with PayPal was BS and would not last. I have been very vocal about that since their inception. Surprise surprise, I was proven correct.


Agreed. I say this frequently as well... Tier 1 support sucks. Not just at online poker sites, but everywhere.

We don't miss any complaints. We dismiss them.

Riggie complaints are ridiculous. If you believe in rigged RNGs, there is a thread with a few million morons you can hang out with right here on 2+2. Meanwhile, the skillfull players will somehow navigate this, and every other, "rigged RNG" and continue to make a living year after year.


As a matter of fact, no I have not. I have had ONE in 12 years of operation. ONE.

And feel free to go over the posts from then. The positive things were cautiously optimistic. I believed, after multiple meetings with the principals, that things would be worked out. They weren't. It happens.

We've made amends with our customers. A number of which have publicly attested to that fact.

I agree with you here. If Global was open to an affiliate program, they would get better press from other affiliate sites. They would not from mine however. Not as things stand currently.

Again, I don't think you have read our stance on Global Poker all that well. We do not disagree with you on this subject.

Sorry if this has been answered but I only skimmed the posts and did not see an answer...

Are players in WA able to play if they still have funds on the site?

As you may be aware, on Thursday 29 March 2018, the US 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that, under Washington State law, some free-to-play games violate state gambling regulations.

You guys should read up on it. You will care when they take your money away. If they know your cashouts are coming from illegal activity they will know cause it shows up on your bank account when you do cash outs. What happens is it can trigger fincen sar to audit you. If they aren't going to allow you to deposit those are red flags already. They collect rake off the funds you have now. Its no loss for Global if you lose your money. Me personally if you have to play on the site just take what you need off and if you lose the rest its not big deal for you. I lost a lot on black friday. Its nothing to mess with. Bad Karma for sage for being a global shill

Since you are often critical of GP, that proves that you are likely a Bovada or America's Cardroom shill.

Hmmm, I was a Full Flush Poker customer and no one, including you made amends with me or ever offered to even pay me 1/100th of the money I had on that site when they disappeared.

lolwat

Are you legit ****ing ******ed?
