oh yeah, I'm not going to mess around with the staking TOS. That rule is obvious.

I'm more wondering how much RTA I'm allowed to use. GlobalPokerAdmin already confirmed that we're allowed to use autoclickers, preflop RTA, and HUDs. But how much postflop RTA are we allowed to use? Maybe there is a rule against river RTA, even though flop and turn RTA is fine

Globals's "rec friendly" policies of not allowing HUDs and hand history downloads is actually breeding an even more predatory environment for recreationals. Recs believe Global when they say RTA and HUD's are not allowed. They follow the rules, use none of these tools, only to face perfectly balanced preflop and early street play, versus like 90% of regs not being too lazy to use these tools, and are wiped out with ease.

The answer? Allow HH downloads, and be transparent that RTA software is allowed.

Ban colluders/equity share teams, and those violating staking rules. Those two should be possible to police.

Is RTA allowed now? I've not received any refund (of any kind) for return of funds from someone cheating/exploiting.

On paper, no.

Yes RTA is now allowed. Enjoy!

Based on the Admin's response and David's past comments, it seems like RTA is allowed just as much as jaywalking is allowed.

still need clarification if river RTA is acceptable or not, though.

I'm sure Spork is playing it straight now (maybe just using Vision on the tough decisions)

Shouldn't have used that other person's credit card OP, you would be cleaning up right now.

We have very clear Card Room Rules explaining that any use of third party software is prohibited while playing on our Platform.

Just because we do not indefinitely deactivate every single account that breaks our rules it does not mean that we tolerate breaches of rules and that there are no consequences. We have a number of actions we can take as a business and we are taking them based on the evidence we collect.

if users are allowed to use a HUD, preflop RTA, autoclick, and break the staking rules... just for a written warning... i'm not too concerned, lol. but thanks.

would really appreciate clarification on how much postflop RTA we're allowed to use, though. obviously i don't want to do anything that would risk getting me banned.

Would you play poker against someone if there was even a 5% chance you will be cheated? What would be your threshold here?

If U Wer Banned Than They Probly Got A Gud Rzn. Thats All I Gota Say..................

Let me translate for those who know even less English.

F YA HO AZZ wz bnd thaaaaaaannnnnnnnnn da prly gta gd rzn. Gangsta gangsta

I could not improve upon "rzn". My apologies.

If the +EV against the player if s/he's not a cheater is greater than the -EV if the player is a cheater, then I might still play against said person.

or the licensed website that we rake thousands upon thousands of dollars for daily can actually enforce their own rules. that might be better.

you know, that calculation you're talking about right now is exactly why I chose to stick with global for the last couple years and not venture off to pppoker and other scammy apps. i was willing to give up ev to not have to deal with that ****. but global has demonstrated they are just as bad, if not ****ing worse on the security front. why do you think we're all unhappy? i get that literally all of your posts are defending global, but take a step back for a second and realize how utterly bizarre this is.

Lagtight must be a VGW shareholder .

If you look at my post history, I’ve been a Global poker cheerleader for 4+ years.

It’s only the recent action of Global randomly applying rules to some and not others, then pretending they enforce them always, that I’ve got an issue with.

Better Not B Cheater In GLOBAL POKER Main Event........

The bolded is literally FALSE.

I have been critical of Global many times over the past 3+ years. But you wouldn't know that, because apparently you're just here to bloviate.

Anyway, bloviate away.....

yep, same here. i've been playing on global since... jan 2018? recommended it to everyone. blindly defended them like lagtight constantly. but THIS is a line you don't cross. ever. completely unacceptable. how can the LICENSED website we are entrusting our funds with defend cheaters? disgusting.

unfortunately there will be several. and none will be punished.

what the **** is bloviate? i have a master's degree and never heard this word before.

anyway, it's kind of weird that you're completely ignoring the... actual issue here? please answer the question:

what are your thoughts on global's ruling here? not only does global have the evidence of the individual RTAing, autoclicking, using a HUD, breaking the staking rules, (and I think others, but let's get real, it's hard to keep up with this many infractions) but he's self-admitted. there is ZERO fraction of a doubt. the party has plead GUILTY.

so, you still think it's fine that global is still letting this individual who, with an unfair advantage, has stolen tens of thousands of dollars from regs and recs alike still play on the website? what about OP who was banned for just breaking the staking rules... 2 years ago? should he be unbanned, or should he remain banned?

curious what your thoughts are here. i'm not antagonizing you or anything. if it seems like that way, i apologize. please understand why i am upset -- i'm one of the players who had their money stolen. anyway, i'm simply asking you to set your bias for global aside, look at the facts, and post your opinion on the matter

A bit less misinformation would have been appreciated. If you can read that "the party has plead GUILTY", you could perhaps read the rest of their story that they have shared in the same thread on this forum and maybe then something will make sense to you. Then again, you would still not have the full information behind our decision but that did not stop you and your confirmation bias before.

I will make an exception and make a comment I usually would not make, but I feel it is necessary because of your defamatory language used in the last few posts in this subforum:
1. you might be surprised that we know who you are and we also know that you did not play a single hand against the person in question, prior or during the period when we confirmed the RTA use.
2. I have also explained in this thread (and others) that we have reversed any negative results for everyone versus this person, so your statements are nothing but another attempt to defame us and misinform the community.
3. And finally, especially given your recent comments, it is really difficult to perceive you as a beacon of integrity or at all take you seriously in the context of integrity.

Consider yourself warned, there will be no other warning. This thread has run its course long time ago.
