Its pretty simple really, ithey have no issue if you're a regular winner on the site along asyour not actively targeting players or abusing them.
All there really doing is creating an environment where "good intentioned" professionals exist. In other words successful players who not only want to promote the game of poker, but also contribute back to the community by offering their experience, knowledge and time.
Theyre aware of their checkered past, so now they need to create a new image, a new brand and a new vision - one that won't let them down the same path. That is to reduce or restrict the top earners who give nothing back - "if your going to be successful on our site then you will work with us to help promote our site and let the community know that our site is where to play".
GTFO shill
Hahaha seriously??
If you're a winning player on GG poker and you're worried about losing your winnings, then I would say you're guilty of doing the **** they accuse of lol
Poker is a niche market in the gambling industry, it should be obvious that companies are looking for a negreanu type to promote their business especially because word of mouth holds so much trust..and they will do whatever is necessary to achieve that.
Best way for GG to do that is to thin out the professional field to have "controllable" professionals. Amateurs within the site will aspire to become GG sponsored pro's who will be relatable and approachable - round and round it goes.
It's not some secret, some might argue its just ethics.
