Ya its reg infested now to many people blabber that its full of fish and now all the regs ran over to global. I wish joey would quit promoting people to play on the site. Oh its full of fish- logical smart person= don't tell anyone more money for me. - an idiot f boy wants to be part of the cool crew= hey guys the sites full of fish ( now all the regs will think im cool and like me yay)

Not that hard to mass table without a hud. You will figure out how the regs play after awhile and when a new player sits they are usually just lp fish.

ffs just do something like this already, can we agree its just a matter of time? You dont even have to use the work rake just take $4 NL- $20 NL as Bronze, $50NL silver etc etc, quit ignoring a high % of your generated rake in us cash players. Take free roll $ or just a small % of that massive 5% and put it into a fun competition and something you can use for advertising and drawing tourney players to come punt

They cater to rec players. They will never do this. Go play somewhere else if you want promotions.

I am against any HUD use or it being offered at Global Poker. I believe their TOS don't specify they are not allowed even though they openly admit to frown upon the use of one ...but don't take my word for that.

As I have said earlier in this thread ... regs are coming regardless ... Heads up and short handed rake are too high. Us cash players need lower rake or / and a promotion to offset the cost we pay.

On a side not its nice to see more votes coming in and more voicing their opinions on the matter.

I am a recreational player and I am completely against HUD use at global poker.

Please improve your rake situation. As a cash game player, giving me an .11 tournament that takes way too much time, isn't a nice reward..

It's nice to see more upvotes coming in and more voicing their opinion in the thread.

Agreed Nahma ...

Global Poker has so many great things going on ... why does it choose to fall behind in this important aspect.

Lol they out here making like 30k in rake off one tournament but cant throw any cash game players promotions , site is so non reg friendly its crazy

Why is it so hard for you to understand they don't want your business?

I disagree, just because someone is pro-promotion for cash players it doesn't mean they are some 24 tabling rake-back grinding nit.

When we include bonuses such as deposit bonuses / rake back / rake races and other cash game promotions offered by competitors .. GP has one of the highest rakes paid online due to the lack of cash promotions.

GP can offer what they want and charge what they want for their services but we as the consumer can also push for a change and voice our opinion if we want.

If you're not a winning poker player then my apologies for the mistaken inference.

GP joey ignoring this thread like Hillary and her Emails

4th vote option *im a MTT or S&G pro but my ego won’t let me not vote so here is my vote that doesn’t count

I think he’s already stated that GP will not be giving rakeback or any kind of bonuses, so no need to entertain this nonsense thread.

He has already been in the thread and stated a stern no to rake-back. That doesn't mean GP stance can't be changed plus this isn't a rake-back thread it's a thread pushing for any general promotion for cash players.

I have no doubt that GP reps read this thread.

Why don't they at least offer small deposit bonuses only available to net depositers?

Something like a 25% bonus cleared by # of flops seen would be really beneficial for keeping recreational players in the game longer, which will increase the likelihood they decide to deposit again and continue playing. It could be an exclusive bonus only available to players who tend to lose, ie. net depositing players.

This would allow recreational players to lose slower, play more, and make the games better for everyone

They do offer free cash to dormant accounts. I am not sure what method / calculation they use.

I know this due to the fact last year I was giving $20* free likely due to the fact I haven't play'd on the site for months. How often they do this, I am not sure. I have since taken another long break and haven't received any offers that I am aware of.

I do like your suggestion but I would suggest a small 25 % deposit bonus for everyone once a month up to a max of $ XXX / a deposit bonus that gets denied if you have made a cashout within the last 30 days.

Such a bonus would be rewarding to any new depositor and net loss depositors. Break even players or slight winners will also benefit while keeping most high volume regs from abusing the bonus.

Yeah I like this, good improvement

A tiny tiny step in the right direction. At least it's a game for players that play cash game only.

A little bump for those who may have joined recently that may want to voice their opinion on the subject.

I suspect there are some new players that may have joined GP & 2+2 over the past two months that my want to voice their opinion.

Don`t forget to voice your opinion after you vote !

Reports seem to indicate a more reg infested game with the removal of Paypal .. Perfect time to introduce a cash promotion....

+1 got my vote in...thanks GOT TO WINN.

Your Welcome !

I see a few more votes ... don't forget to comment your opinion as well.

Of course cash players would like kickbacks, we contribute like 100x more rake than MTT players (probably not even an exaggeration for people multi-tabling midstakes+).

Wouldn't expect them though, right now I'm just trying to get a cashout in Canada man, rough times out here.

Maybe every hour give the person that contributes the most rake to the table 30% rakeback for that particular hour?

Recs would notice it instantly, regs multi-tabling would have difficulty knowing where they are at rakewise.

I mean, that rewards the suicidal recs the most.

I'm actually a genius lmfao

Edit: Or maybe the person that has lost the most over the last 100hands at the table receives 10% of all rake paid on the table for those 100 hands? Again, bad recs would notice this instantly, and giving them more money would be dope. Also regs having ****ty sessions would get a little relief.
