Who thought of the name of this site btw GG is something you tell people after you wreck them in an online game

I just heard of this company...is it really that bad? There seems to be a lot of new accounts here trying to spread disinformation either way...what's the real skinny?

I played over 2 mil hands 2005-2010 up to 200nl but never experienced such weird dealing of cards. Tables full of fish but can't beat them they run like gods? RNG seems weird af after 50k on this site. What's the deal? Do different rooms shuffle cards differently?

The card shuffling has not changed. The quality of play has got alot better since 2010 though

I was a new employee at GG when this post was made. Left the company earlier this year.

I have yet to see a reply in this post or others that accurately describes the company's set up, country of origin, ownership etc. It is astonishing that the world leader is not transparent and at this point proud of what they've accomplished. Google gets you nowhere.

It's not my place to reveal the truths. I just find it all very odd 2.5 yrs later.

Well...tell us something, nobody is going to know

I get your point but played 10nl and 25nl with 3,4 fish at the table. After 2 mil hands played I know when its bad play and when cards are dealt in a weirds manner.

fish 2022 > fish 2005

Lol Chinese at the tables playing Saudis, what could go wrong. With whatever rolls you think you have there.

C'mon now, does this look like a guy who really made the whole thing

Has anyone had issues with GG when it comes to bumhunting at PLO25 to PLO200? If so, did you get a warning? Were you banned and funds returned? Funds confiscated? etc/

I mostly play PLO25 and PLO50 and table select like crazy. I'm not a pro but a big winner. I typically only play 10-20 hours a week and 2-4 table at a time though. It's just a lot more fun and way more profitable to play with spewtards or people straddling big etc. They shouldn't have a built in HUD if they don't want you bumhunting.

I despise playing PLO with a table full of eastern euros who VPIP 20%, PFR 5% and 3B 1%.

I'm sure you'll get a lot of empathy towards the bumhunting.

btw, learn to play against nits. 20/5/1 at 6max is lolbad.

I agree tho, defo morn fun to play vs whales.

Here are the top 8 winners in MTT on GGPoker this year. I have split out their Sattelite only graphs/earnings. How can't even one of the best players in the world be in the green in sattelites. Yes variance is greater in sattelites, but not to this extent. For some reason you cannot filter leaderboards to sattelites only on Sharkscope. Who are the winners?

There is something deeply corrupt and wrong going on at GGPoker and their cheating council or whatever that is was clearly just a distraction.

Interested to hear thoughts and further analysis.

Oh don't get me wrong, they're very easy to play against, but I don't do this for a living.

Life's too short to play with mega nits lol.

doesnt GG charge like 10% rake ????

I played there for a few weeks a while back and it is the only time in 12 years online that I left a long session thinking I'm up about 2 buyins and was actually downtime 2 buyins!

The rake is horrible, I only go back to play the freebie 25c-$1 game they offer every day, waiting for my ban for draining them $5 a week.

Well just answer this if you can.. do they have a policy regarding banning winning players? And I dont mean bum hunters. Just straight up people who are consistently good / winning - do they look to ban those players? Ty

And my guess would be the Triton lot own GG, but we’ll never know!

They never banned anyone for winning while I worked there. In 2017 or so maybe, but they were tiny then and learned from the negative PR (All public info). This is why many still talk about it now IMO.

Their plan to make a rec friendly site, that isn't great for pros worked out for them.

Triton lot don't own GG.

4/6 players at my table were -disconnected.

This is obviously an honest and legitimate poker site which puts so much into game integrity, which is awarding 100s of mirrions of dollars and which is not, the Ultimate Bet 2 coming to theaters.

Gg=full tilt=Ultimate Bet. Only difference is BNG, bold new graphics. I mean, Bryan Kenney was working very closely with GG. Dudes a huge cheat. Gg didn’t know what was going on?

After inactivity, I get an email saying I got a ticket valid for today's few under performing WSOP online sats. I open lobby, see it is valid for two upcoming sats, close. I open back near the end of late reg of the first tourney intending to play it.

-They see that the sat running got what they consider enough entries, so they -disable using the tickets, for that one. But can use for the next one, which might not fill up....
I can only imagine it works the same even with the tickets won from sats using user's cash.

Are there any WSOP reps on 2+2 ?



edit: It is of course, in the beginning, technically enabled to use -the tickets, for late reg in all of these tourneys, it was for this one as well I checked....

Now GG removes the ability to see who played the tournament, making everything much less transparent.
Creepy as hell.

To paraphrase the joker. What do you get when you play on GG? You get what you ****ing deserve.

The final flight of the $500 WSOP Mini Main event didn't end up adding their player pool to the day 2. Apparently the satellite over ran even though it was a timed day 1. The prizepool was added to the day 2 but not the players. It seems that those players were compensated fairly from what I can tell. Someone I know had 8x starting stack and was paid about $3500 (7x buy in).

Q) Where did this money to pay out those players come from?

A) They took it from players who cashed after the tournament ended.

The tournament was not paused. The prizepool was not adjusted until after the tournament and then a manual transfer was done from player accounts. I cashed for about $2100 and $296 was removed from my account. If this is legal to do, then deductions should be done in the same manner as the prizepool, so imagine those extra players didn't exist. This would adjust the prizepool in such a way the 1st place obviously has a lot larger reduction than the min cashers. It does not look like this was the way it was calculated. No calculation has been offered to me yet in my emails with GG.

I am going to email the UK gaming commission to get their take on this. I know PokerStars has had similar issues in the past and would always pay out of pocket. Even the message on the GG client does not state specifically that money is leaving the account:

Hopefully promising to contact the UK Gaming commission doesn't cause them to ban me.
