u get ever get ur account balance sorted? What happened to the missing 4 figs?

Being given the run around as far as I'm concerned, they have not been very helpful yet.

I see they added a Bonus section to our GP wallet or was that always there ?

Think that’s always been there. Mine has always said $0 surprisingly.

I agree that the $500 bonanza is meaningless to midstakes and up reg player, but this site is not catered to that type of player. To say that it is not an incentive is wrong and if that type of player doesn't like it go and play on ACR. What's that? Those games suck? Gee, I wonder why?

The only thing I'd suggest is lowering the rake, but why would they do that when the site is growing so rapidly?

Would you like to make less money? No. Until a competitor comes along that brings in the fun players like global does, you're probably going to see high rake.

Having said all of that, I'm happy with the site, I consider it a notch above playchip games, except I'm cashing out regularly.

Good day.

Thanks for the reply.

I think splash the pot or a high hand promotion would work.

I never heard of splash the pot before. I had to google it ... Nice promo.

Get your votes in everyone and just as important ... comment afterwards.

Good Luck at the tables everyone !

Splash pot and high hand promos are attractive to recreational players, if Global considers some perk for cash play besides the $500/$5000 mtt's those should be on the table as options.

$500/$5000 isn't a perk for cash players. Its a perk for being a member of their site. You can play those games without having to pay a single cent in rake.

This post makes me so happy.

Its good to see more players are voting on the topic at hand.

Its clear the Rep said No-Rake but this was never a thread about Rake-Back. It is a thread about getting some sort of promo running for cash players.

Good Luck At The Tables Everyone !!

Promos for cash players is effectively rake back. There are already freerolls to qualify for simply by sitting at a table and seeing flops happen.

Still voting no.

The Freerolls aren't promos for cash players. They are promos for being a member of Global Poker.

Maybe if you repeat this often enough, it will magically become true.

I'm a member of Global Poker, I tried to register for the bonanza freeroll last night and it said registration denied, strange. Oops, I hadn't played any ring games yet.

Just because one can qualify for these freerolls in gold coin ring games, doesn't mean it's not a promo for ring game players who play the sweeps games.

And again, I acknowledge the bonanza games are woefully inadequate/uninteresting to cash game grinders. I find them inadequate/uninteresting myself. But they are appealing to recs and easy for recs to qualify for. Which I think is the point.

Officially your opinion is murky at best.

If members keep bringing it up. I will keep pointing out that they are not games for cash players. You can play them without raking a single cent. Which I have no problem with. It's a great promo.

Your nit picking a little. Here let me re-phrase. These games are for being an active member of Global Poker not for being a real money cash player.

I never said they weren't appealing to recs. I think they are a great promotional tool. They just aren't a reward for cash play.

how do you get in without paying a single cent in rake? auto folding every hand preflop? who the hell is going to do that?

You don't have to play the real money games to qualify for the $500 / $5000 games.

You can qualify by playing with the sites version of play money. In other words... Play money flops count towards your counter to get into those games.

I guess we can quibble about who's nit picking. You have to play 50 flops in ring games to get into the nightly bonanza 500. That is a promotion for ring game players, even though you keep nit picking that it's not because you don't have to actually contribute to rake to gain entry. No, it actually is, there's no question. Being a member of GP alone does not gain you entry.

You want a separate promotion for rake generating ring game players, which isn't quite the same thing. I hear you, I understand. I'm not opposed to a promotion that is for rake generating ring game players AND is eye candy to recs at the same time. Things like high hand and splash the pot are such types of promos, and it would be smart of Global to at least consider those types of things imo. Also keeping in mind any promos they offer have to conform within the sweepstakes laws under which they are operating, I have no idea what complications that may bring (for rakeback which I know is not being considered, or any other type of Sweeps players only promos).

As it stands the Bonanza games are for active members of global poker. No amount of twisting words is going to change that. I am advocating for a promotion for real money players .. in other words Cash Players who play with real cash not play money players.

Don't get me wrong, the Bonanza is a good promo.

Then we are on the same page. That is also what I want. IMO My see xxxx amount of flops for xx amount of cash would fall under the eye candy for recs. category.


This is a really good point. I am sure the able minds of global poker can come up with something.

I don't recall reading GP won't consider a promotion for sweep players only. GP was very specific in saying No to Rackback which is fine that is not what this thread is about. The promotion doesn't matter. Getting something in place to get the ball rolling is.

They already have some promotions, you can get $6 in free chips every week just by sending a letter, or for Christmas there were a number of free/bonus cash offers. Besides with games this soft why rock the boat? Why would you want to change the drunk to Reg ratio?

Some type of bonus program for cash regulars would be really cool. More regulars have shown up lately and everybody from fish to regular would gain from a small bonus program.

They have responded to this multiple times, including in this thread.

Your credibility is failing fast, maybe go back to making false statements about players playing for 35 hours straight and being bots?
