I am being forced to provide my BANK ACCOUNT NUMBER to a random form on a site that I no longer trust. This is not simple. This is not the paypal I was promised. I've been a big fan of Global from the start, but this is absolute trash.

Thanks for sharing, can you send me a PM with your username so I can look into this for you?

Thanks

+1. Paypal is the easiest IMO and don't have to worry about my bank account being closed for some suspicious transasctions

Hi Joey. Are you going to remove Paypal as an option?

I am new to this forum so it doesn’t allow me to pm yet. My username is itswook same as in here... Thank you for responding

i just gotta say i wont be depositing on global poker if i cant get my money within 24 hours anymore. paypal option is what really made this company big. now i can play with bots and other cheaters on bcp and acr again. at least we get rakeback there.. someone should get a petition going on this issue sign my name starting here
account at global poker awoll714.
this was a complete disaster from the start. i told support i did not want any part of this.
i already see a couple thousand people who are not happy with the waiting periods and service and lies. yes global poker lied. if i cant revert back to paypal or have a method to get my cash fast i guess its back to casinos.

Honesty is always the best policy Joey. It was pretty clear which direction we were headed at the beginning of this thread, and now a lot of people feel like you tried to pull the cover over their heads.

Forcing people to use CC and providing direct deposit bank account information will actually cut down on the bots.

The big hit will be getting new depositors/users as PayPal was obviously a huge marketing tool. Starting to blend with the other US sites is not going to be a good thing.

I was more worried about my paypal account being closed for such suspicious transactions. There are so many horror stories about paypal randomly shutting down accounts and holding funds for 180 days. I think a lot of people are overreacting... Sure, it sucks that paypal is no longer an option and it was very nice having withdrawals come in only 1 day, but as someone else has stated in the thread, the sky is not falling. It's also possible that paypal no longer being an option is beyond their control. Lets just give worldpay a go, before we hold up the pitchforks.

Why would I represent Global in this mess?? What was I wrong about? They handled this like **** and I've been clear about it. Global should do it, though..

There are thousands of reviews about PayPal bashing it. Hundreds bashing Global here. Why would any reviews on a site that claims to alert people to fraud be positive? Kind of defeata the purpose of the site. This is a PR disaster. There are people that don't have bank accounts or don't want to give that info up. Global ****ed up here badly.

Have you been to Ohio?

PayPal is the Antichrist. I've had horrific battles with them, but it's easy to move small money around without 1099s, so you deal with them. The USPS is federal agency, thereby inept by design. WorldPay, which is Vantiv is a merchant processor for credit/debit cards. When you go to a restaurant and use your card, you have no idea what company processes the transaction, bit it's between you and the business. The processor charges the business a fee.

My personal issue is the candy ass email they sent out like I have some wonderful new experience added. It isn't. The banks openly report transactions to the IRS. Systematic, everyone one over $10K, etc... I have zero desire to have the IRS gain or have any better access to my money. Creditors can lien against your bank account. Debit cards do not report assets in the same way. Also, I don't want this kind of commingling. My poker money is separate and I want to keep it that way. "For my convenience" does not require me going out and getting some reloadable debit card to set this up, as the Global email stated.

My guess is that Vantiv will sweep the monies from Global, based on their agreement,. There is a float of funds to offset the fees hence the several day delay. That is also a big drawback for the player. Why would anyone be happy going from overnight to up to a week? According to the Global email, this is a wonderful thing. It isn't, nor is wording it like they were speaking to a second grade class.

When you add the checks and crypto options Global, do NOT force people to be your guinea pig. Put both options up for everyone and offer some incentive to get people to try the new one. Wtf is wrong with you? Overnight to a week and you think people would be fine with that 'change' not additional option.....stupid.

My post was the one deleted by Joey and he emailed me. I put the phone number and direct contact info for the Board members. I also have direct contact info for legal counsel and auditor, although they had nothing to do with this exciting addition, with subtraction of prior, method they burped out.

Joey,

I am very upset that I'm being forced to give my bank account info BECUASE i did not recieve a proper notice that paypal will be no longer an option for cashing out.

If GlobalPoker sent a 1 month notice for removing paypal, I would be okay with it being removed.

I feel like I have been scammed... GlobalPoker advertised paypal cash out. When I request my first cash out, I was prompted to enter my Paypal email. This is very upsetting, why would GlobalPoker prompt me to enter my paypal email if it was no longer an option!?
I requested a cash out on Jun 10. Please help with any way

Maybe Global Poker didn’t get a proper notice from Paypal that they can no longer support. Sometimes it happens like that.

Anyways, just do what I do. I have another bank account from an entirely separate bank solely for the purpose of online poker. That way if you’re worried about them closing your account or whatever, it’s not your main account anyways. No harm, no foul.

I think you're right that Paypal likely ended their partnership with Global, that isn't necessarily the problem though. The issue is that Global is covering that up by congratulating us with a new "option". I think if we had options, even if it were paper check delivered by the USPS we'd be happier. Or simply, just tell us what actually happened so we're not speculating in a 10+ page thread.

Not only are they covering it up making it seem like a great option for us. They are insulting our intelligence by saying it is a better option anyway. This new Cashout method will take a week for us to receive our money when we are used to 24 hour or less cashouts. Cashouts are getting worse but they tell us they are getting better.

Huh? According to One Joey’s posts, he states there are more people using the “standard payment system than the trial” . Yeah he doesn’t state PayPal which is the original payment system. Another round about answer regarding PayPal. Zero integrity. If global poker valued its players maybe they should be helping us out rather than being forced to do something a lot of players are not willing to do. No honor here. Sad

Anyone try contacting PayPal in regards to VGW Holdings?

It seems that both methods are still available as of yesterday.

I'm not sure if payapl would give you any information anyways, someone could try and see, but im pretty sure its confidential, but what the hell do I know, you should try and call and report back.

Search the PayPal user forums. There’s several people (I posted one in the past here) who’ve disputed a gold package purchase only to have PayPal state that VGW provided them with shipping tracking information for the disputed purchase which they searched the shipping carriers website and confirmed it was delivered. When I saw this, it was clear as day there was no partnership. My best guess is after a million disputes and inconsistent defense tactics on these disputes, such as fake shipping #s, PayPal realized what Global actually was and didn’t want involved.

It’s easy for any company to set up a business account (I have a business now account myself) and have PayPal never even look into what you do until tons of disputes start rolling in. This isn’t probably exactly what happened here.

By no means am I supporting this Worldpay "option" but they're not 3rd world, they've been around since 1989.

I've personally installed quite a large IP Network Camera System at one of their very large data centers (2) years ago, it was a massive server farm to say the very least and inside a VERY secure building.

Joey,

I'm one of the ones who never received this e-mail of beta testing the WP option but I did receive an e-mail stating the "Big News" of WP being "added" as a payment "option".

Personally, I don't like it either as many have explained. My main issue with it is, I am not giving GP my routing and account #, it's just not gonna happen. I don't even give my mortgage company that info. It's not safe. Period. If someone has my account info for depositing, then they have the same info for withdrawals.

So, what are the options for cashing out now? I think many have asked and haven't received an answer, (unless I missed it), can we still use PP for withdrawals?

Also, why the re-verification? That's ridiculous. So someone has to send GP a bank statement showing all of their pertinent account info, charges,, etc? No way.

So I'm pretty fed up with this whole situation. Thinking of switching to Ignition but am not a big fan of bitcoin. I don't mind getting a free check every couple months for my withdrawal method and my credit card for deposits. Anyone have noteworthy experience with ignition?

I know your asking them but not me, but no, PP is no longer an option.
