Afaik he references the situation in his twoplustwo thread and mentioned it on twitch on the btspoker channel.

Said he's trying to contact people to find out what happened.

Advised viewers against depositing on GGpoker and playing there.

Yeah if I can re-find his twoplustwo thread I'll link it. The way he tells it he tried logging on and the account had simply disappeared.

Hey all did not know about this site much and have few questions. I did look at their site already. Before anyone says why don't i download the software first and register, well i don't want an issue where if i download it and then i have cookies in my computer where i can no longer sign up with another affliate or anything like that. A while back i downloaded software from a site and then when i tried to register account, i could not get tagged etc.


1. Do they allow players from Mexico?


2. What payment options do they allow? I clicked on the site for payment method and it shows error message. Do they allow skrill, neteller, bitcoin? And is currency in usd or euros and does one have option to choose? So if i have only a skrill or neteller usd account, i would be paying lot of fees for conversions to deposit/withdraw?


3. I read someone mentioned they have no sngs. But for tournaments, how is the schedule like for tournaments? I would mostly be playing low and maybe some medium stakes. Thus anything that would be 22 or even 33 dollar buying and below. Are there some nice gtd tournaments similar to like stars or partypoker in terms of lot of players? I know there is less players there.


4. Is every tournament/cash game 6 max? Or they have 8 or 9 max?


5. How many tables can you play at once? No HUD or any software allowed correct?

Have a question about rake in "Rush and Cash" games. Here are the numbers from the site:


This actually means every hand is raked? Aka having rake of 16bb/100? I think I read somewhere suggesting that together with 65% flat RB this could be "the lowest raked game" or something along those lines?

I’ve heard him say it on his stream a few times.

Yeah, they rake it every hand. It actually was 20bb/100 but I think they changed it.

Old rake

Thanks for the info! I don't follow many poker player's social media accounts, personal threads or streams so if you guys learn of any updates to the story it would be nice if you could share it in here.

unless I'm reading something wrong, the old rake is 1/5 what they changed it to

I have had sessions where I'm up a couple hundred playing 25nl or 50nl according to the HUD, but my balance actually being down all to rake.
imagine having a winrate of 15-20bb/100 and still losing money after rake.
wait, seriously? that's messed up if true. they should include rake in the won/loss report.. I'm sure everyone assumes they do

I see, because the previous rake structure had no rake back. makes sense

anyone on here playing the new rush and cash? talk about variance. I wanna see what other regs think about whether this rake is beatable and also about the frequency of stp's/larger rakeback drops.

I have one of the largest samples at the 1500cny buyin, but the rake is killing me. obviously ~17bb/100 rake is unbeatable so whether they're actually giving back 65% (and playing well in the splash pots) is extremely important.

We know that rake is supposed to be 16,67bb/100, but when I check results in PokerCraft and deduct my winnings (to calculate the rake), the number is (much) lower than 16,67bb/100. What gives?

ofc if you're getting 65% rb then sure rake is fine, but from what i've heard from other players/seen myself and some horses. i'd rate the site 8/10 shady, even if they direct deposited the rb into my account, i'd honestly be whipping out a calculator and double checking these ppl at this point.

Find an agent for some of the other asian games, you'll be treated better and you can mb help teh timstone get a new corvette

yeah I agree, there's no way I trust they're actually putting 65% back into the game. they don't even tell us what the different drop amounts are and what the odds of getting one is.

your math is probably wrong. I've played 22k hands so far of rush and cash and paid 17bb/100 in rake.

03-05-2019 , 05:25 PM
I am fairly certain that my math isn't wrong. But I did get one 83bb cash drop (500bb for the whole table) directly into my stack. Not sure if that's counted in PokerCraft? Even if it's not it would still bring rake to about 15bb/100 for 3500 hands.

Do you still get fish party rakeback when playing the rush though?

As regards whether they're paying the right amounts, GG have started 10k and 5k buyin tournaments and are hitting guarantees so highstakes players must be more comfortable having their roll on there now?

Really don't like that they're rolling out so many skins - some of the skins are GGpoker themselves under a different branding.

i was playing 3/6 plo last night and hit straight flush for 1.2k jackpot which was nice obviously, also MTTs seem quite decent GTDs with some overlays here and there. Cash players don't seem great, and there is extreme shortstacking on each table which kind of sucks imo but the players seem bad so whatevs i guess.

It didn't happen exactly the way Fraggle described it, but yes they banned me and still have my money.
They have lots of other ways to scam you, so be very careful.

In case you play on the 2bet4win skin, you can transfer your funds to your sportsbetting account through the website.
They don't have access to it, so your funds are safe there. And then transfer whatever you need to your poker account when starting a session.

Another tip...Don't cash out directly because they turn down your PVI and if it gets too low, they may ban you. Have your affiliate cash out for you, this does not decrease your PVI as far as I know.

What is typical rakeback you would get from your GG network affiliate, i have mine paying me 40% and i am a very high "raker" , like 300 eur/day rake. Also, i was just told that Jackpots won are taken out from the rakeback lol, so if i win a jackpot (which i did last night), my rakeback in the end of the one month rake calculating period gets reduced by the jackpot i won, so basically i dont win anything when i win a jackpot, kind of a put off for me, i mean what if i win 80k jackpot , which i obviously wont , but its tilting knowing that i cant win jackpots with my affiliate as it is.

sounds like a **** deal. i was dumb and didn't sign up through an affiliate so I'm getting ~40-50% through their rb program. bfizz and jdawg have told me that they know of an affiliate who can get 50-60% though
