GGPoker shady dealings: Should we really trust them? - Page 6 - Poker News

Their ecology is good if you ask me, but it's nothing new. They are just stating the obvious with 99% of it. However, confiscating bumhunters money, and not KYCing people who deposit 50k, crosses the line big time.

WSOP licensed their brand and I imagine that licensing deal includes some % of the rake from the WSOP-branded events.

It's a joke that WSOP decided to go with GGPoker, who have had a ton of server issues without all the extra traffic that the WSOP series would generate. It should've definitely have been run on PokerStars, but GG likely offered a better deal and money talks.

I don't disagree.

What does the US gov't have to do with this? GG don't offer their services to US customers.

that statement is amazing, i love it.

basically makes it explicit that you're exempt from their bumhunting rules if you have enough twitch followers.

also just lumps bumhunting in with RTA, collusion, etc so they can confiscate millions in legit winnings and say "nothing to see here folks, just cleaning up the bad pro stuff"

also makes no distinction between when Regular Pro stuff crosses into bumhunt territory, which is actually the only point of contention in any of this, but no matter...

I think GG is right, of course if you have thousands of followers the rulings will be light with you

Yeah they should just rebrand as entertainment and change the word from competition to theater, then it's no problem

Is it unreasonable for recreational poker players to want to play exclusively (or at least almost exclusively) with other recreational poker players rather than with almost exclusively professional poker players ?

affiliates on this site are putting people into games on stakes after setting them up with VPNs from the USA, to play against stables from other countries just so said affiliates can make a % of rake or hopefully a big score if somebody binks. I know from experience, I have hh's I dl'd and ill share my screen name that I played under from California. Good luck beating those games and that site's biz model, I gave up after a few days and i made a legit effort but the whole site is bs unless one is willing to put in a large mtt sample, thats the only way to profit safely over time on this network IMO.

Just seems very shady and predatory to me.

Apparently it's ok to flood the barrel full of fish with a shark or 10 if you know the right people. Just dont feast too much or then the site will be on you too. Fun times in poker nowadays!

I love the game of poker, and don’t like the way professionals conduct themselves, and think it’s a stupid career choice. The fact you think this is impossible speaks to some sort of delusion of grandeur for grinding out a living on a card game

Well said.

I work part time as a GGpoker agent.

No, GG poker does not automatically ban winning players.

This makes 0 sense actually. Some (winning) players were banned for precised reasons but I can testify that winning players are not getting kicked out.

If so, loads of PLO regs that I know would be banned (including myself - brag) lol

Actually they aren't. They have a license from Curacao and a license in the UK from UKGC. They stated they were getting a B2B licenese for Malta that I suppose one of their skins could then use but I don't see anyone with it as of now on their web site, but I don't know all the skins.
