I don't play much poker anymore at all, and I am definitely not going to play on GG. So finally when I get all my money back from these various pieces I buy I go to withdraw, they deny it. Try again, they deny it again. I e-mail them and ask why and they say I need to play. I tell them they can't force me to play, I already put the money into play on their site and got it back. If they had a sportsbook I'm sure that would count, so how does this not count?

Anyways, it gets to the point where I e-mail them and tell them they can either process my cashout or I'll just self-ban my account for a long period or just completely close it. That's what ends up happening, they permanently close my account and send me an e-mail saying it's closed forever and I can never re-open it. I have asked them numerous times what is going on with my balance, they haven't responded to a single e-mail and it's been days. I can't even login to my account anymore and see my balance. I had a pending withdrawal for the full amount when they closed my account.

Before this they were responding to all my e-mails in about 1-2 hours for all the 7-10 emails they had sent me total. So it's clear they're just blatantly ignoring me at this point. Anyone have any idea what I can do about this? A pretty well known ex-site pro made my account for me himself but since he isn't associated with them any longer I don't really want to bother him with this until it's to the point where it's my only option.
Seems pretty ****ed. Can't imagine buying pieces wouldn't count for playthrough.

lol

after however many days of ignoring e-mails I sent them a link to this post and magically they are back to responding in 30 mins again. Told me I'll have my balance within 2-3 days. A mod can delete my post if they want. Can also leave it up, doesn't matter to me.

Why should a mod delete it? I think its pretty interesting how they threat their customers.

It really is quite funny when they run the flipament for GG care and a dude that was sitting with like $700K on 1 table earlier in the day has the most chips for a random shot at $500 lol. Why on Earth would you have HS regs in that? Either give them their own thing with worthwhile money or just don't allow them in the flipament. I'm sure Timofey wouldn't even notice the additional 1bb if he won.

If you are asking why they reg well they don't it's automatic.

Uh, clearly I was talking about GG giving meaningless rewards to multi millionaires that could be given to other players that would actually make a difference in the games. I'd rather some some .05 .10 player get $500 or a midstakes reg than some guy playing 200-400 daily. That would be way better for the site than giving a guy literally 1-2 bbs for his games.

Not usually one to say people don't deserve rewards, but the chip stacks are based on bad beats at your stake, higher the stakes higher the chip stacks given. It would hurt me, but I'd think doing the opposite would make way more sense.

I don't agree. High stakes players are winning few bbs every day and I would guess it makes a difference for them while low stakes players are winning more but less often. It's about the same for everyone at the end of the day.

Well if your badbeat is "worth" 10k it makes more sense to give that player 500$ rather than to a player who loses 7$.

So I've got an answer from them that in fact playing short sessions may trigger alghorithm for bumhunting. Not much else unfortunetly. I will try playing longer sessions and will see.

How does one get invited to Natural8 and is the verification process (if any) a PITA if you're just depositing and withdrawing via BTC?

The point is the guy that lost $10K most likely won't even notice he got the money in his account the next day. The fish that lost $7 would be excited, tell everyone, and play games he probably shouldn't.

Hey, anyone tried playing on a UK registered account whilst abroad using a VPN? If so is it possible.

Right now Negreanu is playing under a Canadian flag from Mexico, so I guess anything goes.

Aren't they using agents? Pretty sure playing using vpn is not allowed.

Not sure playing WSOP from a VPN is a good idea unless you're actually where you're supposed to be. Specifically for these events it appears to be a big deal.

I just noticed that on gg... when there is a final tournament final table, the blinds roll back where the average stack is 40bb deep. Does anyone here not like this at at all? That completely changes everything such as the bubble to the final table where if you get to the final table with say only 5bb, well its now a lot more because of this. Also you might even get a few players with 100bb stacks.


When did gg implement this or that was always the case? This makes the final table play a lot longer than any other site out there. Yea there is a lot more play, but doesn't this completely change everything towards the final table?


I'm curious if more people are in favor or this... vs against it. No other site does this. I mean i could understand if its a high stakes mtt or high roller tournament.. but doing this for all stakes? That seems a bit too much? Obviously if you are a good deepstack player, you prefer this. But why do this at a final table when playing towards the final table... most people have lower bb stacks? You rarely have multiple players with 100bb+ stacks that late in a tournament.

Can anyone tell me how to withdraw or transfer my C$ to US$$? I made a withdrawal about 10 days ago and it went off without a hitch but I have about $500 in C$ from rake races and bad beat tournament wins that I want to withdrawal but I can't withdraw it.

When I go to the cashier and hit withdraw there is no option to do anything and my last withdraw that I did 10 days ago still says processing even thou I got it 2 days later.

Anyone that could help? Thanks!

You have to play, basically. The C$ will be automatically converted to US$ the more you play (i.e, pay rake). I don't think there is any other way.
