A lot of weak/losing regs commenting in this thread about why GG can't be beat and throwing them under the bus just because. I keep seeing the usual 2+2 regs and random fresh accounts trashing on GG threads. But oddly enought they dont play there, or have not get a warning either. It would seem they have an ulterior motive for their posts.
I can understand the frustation and anger someone would get if they were banned unfairlly but for some reason real cases that meet these conditions havnt surfaced. Usually what I see is players breaking the rules and then complaining on 2+2.
It's funny how an sketchy unofficial site, thats also probably breaking a lot of rules by selling data mined HHs is taken up at face value. I was interested to see how accurete my results were to them but then I saw that you had to pay to use it. Maybe OP's goal was to increase traffic on the website.
I can only speak for my own experience from playing in GG. I started with a 1K dollar deposit to play PLO 100 2 years ago. I currently play 1K and cash out every week. I have never had a warning either. I play against other very good players who most likly have a high winrate and cash out regullarly. Most of them play every day. I get nothing from love and fast responses from support. Unlike that other site that used to be #1.
Just beacuase some people can't beat poker without the most predatory behavoir they can have doesnt make it impossibe for other people to achive what they cant. One can look at PS and their predatory business practices and see where it got them. Funny how there are no threads being made about that. Maybe players got complacent with the "easy" option to play on a site that allows HUDS and bumhunting that they just don't care anymore about it.
I feel I have to chip in these threads from time to time to represent the players who actually play there. Ill be back when slander gets too out of hand again. Peace.
Few points firstly I am capable of generating a profit without needing to resort to pure predatory behaviour and bumhunting etc. If what you are writing is true then clearly I am not as good at poker as you are. However that still does not change the fact I have been a consistent winner at poker for many years it may be small stakes it may provide the same wage as I would get working at McDonalds but I have been a profitable player for many years without needing to resort to strict game selection.
I have not played on GG so i cannot comment from personal experience of play on GG. However I hear they ban winning players all the time, and I hear they use whatever excuses they can to ban winning players and seize bankrolls. If they ban me but let me cash out the entire balance then fair enough. If they seize my bankroll that is not okay.
It is alleged in multiple places that winning players have been banned under the false pretence of responsible gambling. Since sites will share info on customers in the UK, if These allegations turn out to be true, and i find myself banned from GG and they allege gambling harms/responsible gambling etc then that info will, not might but definitively will be shared with other sites.
Those sites then run the risk that if I turn out to be someone with a problem and do something utterly stupid (something I would never do) they can face fines of seven figures. they will not let me continue to play to make £50-£200 rake a week from me if they risk a potential seven figure fine or a ban from the uk market entirely.
Hence if the allegations against GG are true, then by playing on GG I risk not just my deposit and future winnings been confiscated, (which I can afford because I dont have problem and do not gamble with funds that I cannot afford to lose.) but also been banned and never ever again been able to play on any online poker for any profit ever. That is a pretty big deal which is why I wont touch GG and have never made an account there.
If what you say is true then maybe I have nothing to worry about, but even so you must understand my concern regarding the allegations that circulate. I do wonder why if what you say is true GG wont come out and publicly address these concerns/allegations that people are expressing.
Unless of course they want to keep winning players away.
