Yea only Nevada, New Jersey, and Michigan merged. Probably good traffic at the moment because of the WSOP in Nevada and everyone in town playing online. When that ends it will be back to an online ghost town for them. Regulation takes way too long. Hearing the software in Nevada is garbage as well. Anything run by state or federal governments goes downhill quickly

I just want to be able to change the color of individual tables, not all of them at once.

I do agree with all the tables/backgrounds being dark and gloomy.

yea i have played on WSOP.com in NV and NJ. Can confirm that the software is trash.

Cooler after cooler after cooler. Fk this site

See ya later tonight.

Pokerstars is MI and NJ only so far, but the software is top shelf. I haven't tried playing wsop yet, and probably won't until software fixes.

Newbie questions for Global ( Before I create account):

Can I deposit with bitcoin?

Can I get rakeback and do I need an affiliate?

Can you use HUD's?

What is the rake situation compared to other sites?

How are the games small to mid stakes?

Appreciate any info, good luck everyone!

answers in bold

appreciate it!

If I travel to Philippines can I play global poker while there?

Ya just use a VPN and you should be fine

VPN is against TOS. They have taken at least one player's money and banned him for doing that.

You must reside and play from allowed US states or Canadian provinces.

Sweepstakes postal request mail in - what is the most someone sent in at once and got processed - so basically i could send off 1K " request cards every month " , and get an unlimited BR

This is definitely true, and can definitely work. Just be aware (you might check out some Facebook groups) they they can deactivate (their term for banning) your account without giving you a reason. Many people claim the have done nothing against the rules, but have been banned. Some who were writing in requests, and some who weren't. That said, I know there are people who have sent in about 1K requests a month and been paid and not banned.

okay good to know, so basically prolly take 2 months or so ( depends on a lot of things obvs ) - but once my " Sweepes Coins " - get credited to my account I can send off as many as i possibly can , ( I was wondering if 500 would be too much - and they would only credit say 1/2 of them or what not ) - but to hear u say someone did / can send 1k postal request is very intriging to me ( I am an up n coming full time player - so I am trying to build a BR - taking some funds off one site n using it to get these index cards / enevelops / stamps - investing into Global with a huge return - then proceed to build my BR up on there by playing


( what do u mean by the " check out some FB groups " ) - like it would say about ppl getting banned - curious to know more about this - do u have a link or something specific ( I want to investigate why this would happen - n how, so I can make sure to know everything ) thks


I will definetly be ready to fire as many as I humanly can as soon as my first batch goes thru

thanks for the reply

There are at least two groups - one is for mailing in requests to different sites, and the other is specifically for people who have been banned or warned from a site. The group about banned people sort of likes it if you have been banned or warned - but I was able to join and when they asked I just said I had friends who had been banned (which was true). I don't know why they care.

They are both private groups, so I don't think you can view them if you are not a member. If you are willing to post your email address here, I can send you invites to them. Otherwise you can search FB for "Online Sweepstakes Envelope Requests" and "VGW Deactivated Players" - and then just ask to join.

it’s very tempting for anyone who does the sweeps mail ins to want to increase their volume by having a family member/roommate sign up. You absolutely cannot have two accounts from the same household etc. and of course Global is gonna aggressively ban people because otherwise they’re giving free money away. They’re already giving free money away via mail ins in the first place!

i really am not big into FB / social media ( cut a lot of it out of my life not long ago , I was just curious what they were all about

I am currently just waiting for my first batch to get credited ( about 75 envelopes sent in ) , and once it does going to fire off 300 ish ( already getting prepared ahead of time - stocked up on all the supplies needed to senf them off in bulk - now im just writing them out daily ( leaving space for the 12 digit request code , that way i can fire off as soon as i get the first batch approved

for someone like me - up n coming player - building my BR - this is a game changer ( wouldnt of never known about it - my friend in my study group mentioned to me - so i looked into it and
couldnt believe this is even a thing - ( I wonder how many ppl that play global regularly dont even know about this ) - i was talking with someone else who been playing global for a little bit n knew of it kinda but didnt realize how it even worked / how much money they have given out for free - ( 50 million in 7 years of being operating ), its so valuable to cash out X from one site n use it to send these postal req. off n build up a BR on Global ( one of the softest sites out there ) - It's like a cheat code lol

i mean with a little bit of work , n little investment - its basically a free way of getting a BR ( any decent player will use whatever 300 - maybe 1K n build it up in no time - Global is super soft small fields , and yeah IMO - wouldnt need to try n " game " the system at all - why would u risk messing things up if ur doing this ( U r right I am sure there are ppl trying to do shady stuff like this ) , but to me makes no sense when u can just get X amount on there - play games u can beat - large sample - n then u have a decent BR - on Global - Keep crushing - n then taking it n splittting up across diff sites ( once u use it n win n build it up obvs ), n yeah I still couldnt believe when i read it - " gave away 50 million " n they only been around 7 years

who needs backing / staking - when u got Postal Request codes n envelops n stamps haha

LFG

My 2c:

The people who are getting banned are likely violating the rules in some capacity. You have to be a special kind of psychopath/autist to write 50+ per day which some people claim to do "legit". Realistically the people doing real high volume like this inevitably get greedy and want to find ways to skirt the rules by using automated writing devices (or fake stamps) i'd guess.

If you are doing it 100% legit I promise you that you probably won't be able to stomach the volume necessary to really draw attention to yourself where they start looking for reasons to ban you.

Pretty much the absolute MAXIMUM any person can churn out per hour (code, written, sealed and stamped) is probably ~8-10. You can have pretty bad hand writing and still get credited so realistically you'll make about 4.25-4.3 per envelope. So a reasonable hourly is probably somewhere between 30-40$ which beats grinding low stakes live and most shitty jobs (though if you WFH you can do both like I do).

You can increase your margins/lower costs a bit by using a credit card with good rewards/cash back and shopping for supplies/stamps at costco/sams club (since theyll have their on cashback that will stack with your cc, although sams i believe wont give cashback for stamps). You can basically get envelopes/index costs for around 1-2 cents per, so stamps and time are your biggest limiting factors. I haven't found anyway to get the cost of stamps much lower than face value other than the cashback tips noted. DO NOT risk it buying potentially fake stamps on the cheap.

My only other tip is buy a really comfortable, preferably refillable pen cause most pens only last about 100ish letters.

Also lastly expect the turn around time to be 6-8 weeks from when you mail to went you get credited (drops are about once per week).
