Those are two different people.

Withdrawal declined after 2 days, no reason given, money back in account but it basically feels like play chips. Site is shady af for sure.

You are mixing two people together. I am the one in the somuchpoker article and currently reside in Cambodia. The one you reference in the wiki article is a different Mike Kim. He is the one tied to pokerstars and the APT. We do know each other but do not work together. I have nothing to do with what you are discussing here. This is a common issue, people getting us mixed up.

Someone who recently got banned got this message, isn't it supposed to be the other way around

Quick update on withdrawal issue, they sent me an email today saying it was a problem with the selected method and to choose a different withdrawal method. Their site is not very good for that, though, as it attempts to withdraw to the last card you used and that card doesn't support it. I suppose I will need to deposit again with the card that does support it, then withdraw, so not a huge deal I guess.

Um, yeah. So that's where you'll find it now, and all the subsequent posts in the riggie derail (link below).

As I said just a couple dozen posts ago:

Can’t find any explanation or apology from them for the $1k turbo 6 max tournament starting and continuing 8 handed last night. Instead of changing the max players per table (perhaps impossible once started) they just changed the name of it about an hour in 😫

Aside from that , as a brand new player to GGpoker for this World Series, I’ve been very impressed by the software and deposit/cashout process . Just had to send in a few documents at start to verify account which is totally normal and withdrawals processed and in my bank account within 2-3 days. Feels really fun to play and massive fields with some great value in there

I don’t really play poker anymore but noticed that my account at GG was banned when trying to log in recently. I’ve never deposited nor played a single hand of poker there.

I sent an email around 4-5 days ago and haven’t had a reply.

We are starting to REALLY scrape the barrel of GGPoker attacks with that ^^ one

A bunch of unplayed accounts was purged to make room for screen names for those that want to play the wsop

Account being locked and no reply from support for nearly a week? I’m just glad I don’t (and won’t ever) have any $ on GG.

Just yesterday alone I played 6 tournaments on GG. Played 26 hands where my preflop equity was 65% of higher. Lost 16 of those hands (64% hands lost when ahead). Of those 16 hands I lost, 10 were lost on the river (62.5% rivered). RNG and variance MY ASS. This is just 1 day and a small example. I am working on a much larger range of hands but I suspect the results will show the same thing.

since you are not a net depositor, and dont give action to regs, you are considered a bumhunter, therefore your account is now banned and your funds confiscated.

epic troll. "we will be keeping all your money. would you like to return and give us more money?"

it's all clearly laid out in the T&C, at least according to Fedor, who is the only living individual legally allowed to review (or issue clarifying interpretations of) GG T&C

GGPoker, where everyone playing there (apart from the owners and their friends) will end up losing, as if you lose, you lose, and if you win, your winnings are confiscated.

Meanwhile poker whores Negreanu and Holtz see nothing wrong in this.

Avoid this scam site like the plague.

GG still had some semblance of credibility when they were just banning winning players. I mean, who knows, maybe those players really did seat script / excessive bumhunt / use RTA. But once they ban a guy, confiscate his balance, then let him come back but never refund him it just shows how scummy they are.

I have never thought any site would rig the cards but I had a very strange first session on GG.

Played like 30mins of push/fold PLO and 4 times there was top full house vs. quads. OK, happens in game like that because of all the all-ins.

Then played my first tournament (NLHE). 30 mins in got it in with TT vs KK. Flop TTx, turn K, river K.

Lol sample size, probably coincidence but kind of funny that I don't remember this happening in my 15 year career on different sites.

Get used to it Mike Femton. It's going to happen a lot more on GG. Worst ever poker site

Maybe stop playing this super high variance ****? The only thing that is rigged on GG is when you play All in or Fold because the rake literally makes it unbeatable - so yeah it is sort of rigged.

This thread is going off the rails. GG might be shady but all the rigged stuff so far is nonsense. Unless you have something more than bad beat stories, or I ran bad for 2 days stories, then don't bother posting it, otherwise this thread might as well be in bbv.

this site is shady af....made a profile and live in the Netherlands. Read somewhere you can adjust your country afterwards. Made a deposit to benefit the nice bonus offer. Asked support how I can change it, couldn't they said. It is not allowed to play there as a Dutchmen. Fair enough: then I want to claim my money back....didn't heard anything about it since then. They don't respond and they even took the 2$ Sping & Golds out of my lobby were I got a lot of free tickets for. What a joke, no GGpoker for me anymore even if it is allowed to play over here.

To Quote Jean-Christophe Antoine "We believe that poker is a form of entertainment, not a job. We focus on the fun of it. Winning and losing are just parts of the entertainment, not the purpose of poker for us".

Now I CHALLENGE him to explain this:

Sergi Reixach $6,378,979
Artur Martirosian $5,869,175
Almedin Imsirovic $4,432,543
Jake Schindler $4,300,432
Dan Dvoress $3,705,554
William Foxen $3,380,313
George Wolff $3,340,469
Issac Haxton $3,077,240
Kristen Bicknell $3,059,231

These are just a few of the MILLIONAIRES based on earnings just from GG. There are many more. I am just wondering why these people are still playing daily on GG and their money has not been confiscated. The answer is because they are friends with the high ups of GG. Not sure about you but I call this FAVORITISM. The facts listed above are the reason that GG does not want REGULAR people to win on GG. They want to be able to FLEECE all the weak players themselves.
I have already issued 1 challenge to Jean-Christophe Antoine that has gone unanswered and I fully expect this to go unanswered as well. The reason he won't answer is because the UPPERS of GG are shady as hell and he has no defense for the facts that I have stated.

i thought so too until people started posting screenshots of turned/rivered quads. i'm not fond of maths but that has to be once in a generation stuff and we've seen it multiple times just in this thread JUSt in this WEEK

Jean-Christophe Antoine: do you accept Twitter's challenge? They have issued the challenge multiple times, still awaiting your response.

And I forgot to list Alex Foxen with $3,380,313. Oh wait, I did list him under the name of William Foxen. They are 1 person playing on GG with 2 different names. Unless its the biggest coincidence ever that William and Alex are 2 different people with exactly the same earnings right to the penny. As I am writing this Alex is signed into play the 10k WSOP side event while William is Signed in to play the 25K heads up event. So this means GG has 1 person playing under 2 different names playing in 2 tournaments at the same time on 2 different computers. Now you tell that there is no CHEATING going on at GG. Now I would like to hear this explained By Jean-Christophe Antoine. CHALLENGE #3 Jean.

GG condones this activity. You wanted proof about the shadiness of GG, here it is

This is a fact and it needs to go viral. Help me out people!
