When I emailed Global about this transaction, they told me they had to reiterate a message they never even sent me initially. When I asked for a timestamp and screenshot of when that initial email was sent, they couldn't provide one. They then refused to disclose why exactly we are receiving oddly specific amounts of money, why some are receiving more than others, and why some received none at all.

While we here can pretty much conclude that the reason for this was some form of cheating, the lack of transparency from Global with this money sent out and leaving us to draw our own conclusions (and at one point could've led to people being named as cheats with no proof other than they didn't play for the last x amount of days) reinforces a lot of recent posts here that have questioned Global's legitimacy. Excellent timing not disclosing anything not just after posts on here about Spork and Portemilio, but just as a ring game promotion kicks off.

I get why some customers won't complain about the free cash and I know based on my own recent posts that this will come off as a very salty POV, but there is a distinct level of shadiness and lack of integrity that comes with throwing specific amounts of money at a very defined group of players without an explanation.

Here we get a good thing. Free money. and yet you guys are still bitching like babies.

Ah, right, pay me a couple hundred bucks so accountability and transparency from a poker site is no longer a thing. Easy peazy.

i aint get CRAP..............................................

It is interesting that they aren't disclosing who it came from. acr barely gave anything back to us from the botting, if that's what they're doing it's nice to know someone's interesting in doing the right thing at GP

Yep, definitely. This would seem like something a poker site would be happy to tout, especially after some recent posts, catching foul play at the tables and paying customers back (if that's what happened).

This must be some sort of joke.

Sorry lagtight - I heard global employees weren’t eligible for the adjustment.

I got no email about it but it appears I got a nice $9 adjustment. I dont play on the site very much, Sunday Scrimmage and some occasional small stakes PLO cash.

I got $711. Played 200-500 PLO, but haven't played much if at all the past couple months.

Touche, sir!

Received adjustment as well with no email stating what it was for.

Redemption request was immediately approved, no play through.

$217 , mostly play PLO 50 - 200. Though haven’t played at all since September 2021.

As an NL50 semi-reg, I'm curious who you are (I have a tier list of the players and am curious if you're who I think you are).

PM me or post here if you feel comfortable. I'm sure its obvious who I am since my GP name is the same as my name here.

Unless you're Steph. Then, call people the N word elsewhere (but please keep calling 3bets with 63s)

So were the riggys right? Especially the PLO riggys?

So do we have more confidence in global because of the adjustments or less confidence in them because they will not give a clear answer why adjustments are happening? We know they read the threads because they selectively reply to certain post.

This whole thing is just very confusing.

Stating that there are cheaters that exist does not make one a riggie. Stating that the site in question is actively cheating players due to a non-random RNG makes one a riggie. Why do you guys keep posting this stuff over and over? Can we at least contain it to one thread?

Who is #1?

Manual adjustment of 186, and am a on and off 50NL. I knew when I logged in my balance was a little more than I was expecting. I’ll take it

IMO, cookies is the hardest to play against.

This is interesting. I had very primarily played plo100 during the summer and early fall. A very small amount of plo200 was played, but I won the only session that felt super sketchy, and a small amount of plo50 was had but I never saw the one and only Smitty dip into that stake. The few who I know who played plo50 who I never saw at 100 back then didn't receive anything recently.

The bartender looks up and asks, "What is this, some sort of joke?"

Still no email clarifying what this positive adjustment was for.

A simple, "Cheating was detected during your play" would suffice (we all know it exists).

People acting like this "free money" is a good thing and all the naysayers are ungrateful, are misguided imo. Transparency is king.

Common sense says they caught somebody, I think it’s a great thing they not only caught on to it but actually gave some money back. Does every site do that?

As a publicly traded corporation, you'd figure they'd have a little transparency to the players, when it comes to issues that affect the trustworthiness of a site's operations. ESPECIALLY a company that chooses to use loopholes to circumvent US gaming laws.

To your point, yes, other large poker sites have refunded players. Party Poker refunded $735k in 2019 and closed hundreds of accounts. Pokerstars has multiple times over the years refunded players for exposure to cheating/botting/etc. Even one of the shadiest poker sites on the internet ACR has issued refunds for botting/cheating/collusion rings.

If these "adjustments" were due to cheating, you'd figure they'd be standing on the rooftops proclaiming as much. Why they are making us speculate as to the reasons they choose to give us a tiny bit of rakeback, is beyond me.
