played years ago on site that offered sweepstakes mail-ins, word got out and they were buried with mail. there 5 dollars offer went to 1 dollar. didnt help there gone.

Has anyone received Sweeps credit since Aug. 23?

I randomly received $20 in credits last week......nowhere near what I sent in though. It seems as if they're staggering payment to discourage people from mass mailing.

I mailed in a few dozen in late July/early Aug. Have received three for a total of 15 SC. Obviously stalling/staggering credits. Shame cause since 2017 I've been a faithful player who makes nice sized deposits from time to time and has not abused this system at all. It's their rules, send the credits then adjust the program however you need to.

Just so you know all Sweeps they give away are free. You are purchasing gold coins. The sweeps come with it for free.

So that banner was not money they gave away in promotions, envelopes, etc. When you make a purchase even, it says right there on the cashier page, "Free Sweeps".

I've received all of my credits for envelopes I sent into Fendoff which is their sports betting site from mid-August. I'm waiting on credits for envelopes from the other three sites.

I don't think people realize they are receiving envelopes for not just Global Poker, but four total sites to the same exact PO BOX in NH.

They have to open each one, scan them, match up the player name and email, make sure there are no spelling errors, credit correct accounts and send out an email letting the player know they were credited.

AUGUST ??!! I'm still waiting on batch sent June 11th.

I've been waiting on some from early July, myself.

Do they typically credit you for all four sites around the same time, or is there a delay between each site?

[QUOTE=Papacnotes;56507559] I only just started sending to the other three sites. Fendoff is the only one that credits quickly because they are the smallest site of theirs by far.

I'm still waiting on credits from Luckyland and Chumba but I only started sending them there about 3 weeks ago.

why were u holding a mic

Got credited today. Thanks Global!

Same here. Props

Congrats fellas good to hear! When did you send in the envelopes you were credited for? I've not been credited yet but 8/17 is the most recent date i sent any so I'm afraid I might be in next months batch. It seems to me they go out in bulk as opposed to when they come in and are able to be processed and verified?

David Lyons said recently ~3 weeks was the target time, I'm assuming that's from when the envelopes show up in the PO box in New Hampshire as opposed to when they are mailed from the envelope writer. Another thing that concerns me is the issues with USA mail system due to the upcoming election etc that could slow things down too or at least provide a legit excuse for GP to lag. It'd be interesting if the players were to start tracking credits delivered and sharing the info to see if it's as they come in or in batches.

just checked out Fendoff, and their odds are terrible... do you only use it for the free Sweeps, or is it a book you regularly use?

How have the sweeps rules changed from the beginning to make it harder to collect? I see now u have to handwrite on a post card or white paper 4x6 ur name, email address and about 3 sentences saying u want sweeps cash and then put it in a stamped envelope. Just wondering how this method is harder then the ones in the past like the infamous Envelope King used.

No postcard before

I’m addition to the post card, you have to ensure that the envelope is posted from the same state in which your account is registered. For some people that is not an issue, however if you live close to another state you need to confirm how letters are routed, which can be a bit tricky with the USPS.

Im still not getting it. What was process before rule change?

Literally just send in an envelope - didn’t need to put anything in the envelope.

You had to list ur screenname on the envelope or something? Now i see where my rakeback has been going? Props to all who took/taking advantage of this

Just your return address and the words “sweepstakes credits” . But yeah, much better than rakeback.

How would they know what account to credit?

They scan in your name and address, that alone should bring you up in their system. As to whether they really open up the envelopes and read the cards or if it's just for entry suppression is unknown.
