*** Official Gold Coin Purchase Thread *** - Page 3 - Global Poker -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

In case it’s not painfully and clearly obvious to anyone:

1) PayPal is clearly not, nor ever has been, 100% crystal about what exactly Global is or what they are doing. This is apparent when you look at the 2+2 thread where someone contested the charge to PayPal —probably unethically because they lost, but whatever—and PayPal response said that “the merchant provided these shipping documents proving the goods were delivered”
So Global created fake “shipping documents” to provide to PayPal in response to a payment dispute.

If PayPal knew what Global was doing, that would not have happened.

2) clearly PayPal is becoming more aware or wary of Global, and that is why the sudden appearance of this Worldpay processor that no one in the USA has ever heard of before.

3) This is the important part: even if the worldpay outfit turns out to be legit, the main reason Global is so soft is all the fish who trust it “because PayPal” and keep depositing. Those players won’t keep on in the same number with some obscure processor—therefore the “heyday” Global is behind us. All the regs will continue as long as we get paid, even if the payouts aren’t as quick, but the existing recs will be skeptical and new players aren’t just going to keep diving in when they don’t have the legitimacy a PayPal deposit/withdrawal method lends.
To be crystal, I’m so good at NLHE MTTs I can beat the stronger and shorter fields, so I’m fine with this outcome BUT

4) item3 means globals traffic will decline, which means their rake will decline—and if it turns out their operating procedures don’t include segregating player funds, and therefore they have been able to quickly being able to pay withdrawals either out of rake or out of new deposits, this will quickly manifest itself

5) Global has already illustrated it’s willingness to behave unethically over a sum as small as $14,870. It would be crazy to think when the time comes and they can’t continue operating that they’ll do the ethical thing and payout all player balances before going offline. The days these guys go out of business they are GUARANTEED to abscond with all existing player balances. And since you gave them that money for “gold coins” —not for a real money balance—you will have no Legal recourse

Cliffs:
Global is about to get a lot more tough for everyone but me

They gonna steak our money , so keep as little as possible on there.

My guess is they are done by 2019

Arrogance is bliss.

Global is going to turn my money into steak? How fun!

Also I have already verified my account and cashed out multiple times. Yet they ask for me to do it again? Very disheartning

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO VERIFY YOUR DOCUMENTS IN ORDER TO CASH THEM OUT?
We require verification once you request your first cashout of winnings. This is to make sure that funds are sent to the correct account holder. Once the documents are sent, we verify them as soon as possible. The cash out process depends on whether or not the correct form of identification has been sent through. It normally takes about 5 days for verification to take place. Once your account is verified, it takes an additional 5 days for your funds to be processed to your account.

This verification only applies to your first time cash out your winnings. Future withdrawals will not require verification.

How’s that PayPal “partnership” looking now? I exposed them weeks ago and this further confirms there are troubles in PayPal paradise with Gobal.

This is the part that worries me. Are we all going to be forced to cash out with Worldpay in the near future? I really like using Paypal.

If they’re bailing on Paypal, I would really like Bitcoin as an option. Hopefully that’s in the works.

If they are bailing on PayPal there is most likely big problems coming in the near future.

Wordplay goes to PayPal, too, but being forced to be the guinea pig is pretty grimey in my eyes.

my god ruetama is a clown amongst clowns

He's also not as good at MTTs as he thinks. I mean, he's definitely good, but he's out here acting like he's Fedor Holz or one of those guys.

Come on:

"Cliffs: Global is about to get a lot more tough for everyone but me"

You are very far from the best poker player on Global Poker, you f clown

my man has made all of 8700 dollars in 8 months but ya he's the GOAT alright

This is why threads like this are so harmful, irrational paranoid clowns like ruetama scaring people like waterb.

Global tells waterb something he doesn't like, waterb goes on 2p2 to talk about it, sees winning reg ruetama spewing all this nonsense and says "well the guy is a winning player he must know what he's talking about!"

And then perhaps waterb doesn't deposit at all, or takes all his money out, and the player pool gets smaller.

**** off ruetama

Adding a payment option is one thing. Forcing someone to use that payment option only is what people are upset about.
