Global has a few FLO8 cash tables that they are running as a test during their Omaha MTT series. Y'all should play some FLO8 and hopefully they will keep the game around. It is a great game and too hard to find places to play it.

sounds like its on your end

Does anyone have any experience having no access to Global for more than 3 months and keeping your sweeps coins?
It will be a pain having to withdraw everything and redeposit, but that seems like the option talking to support.

call me a rigtard all day, I'm fine with it but I take more ridiculous river beats on this site than I ever have playing full time anywhere else online which includes Rignition & ACR. Luckily, I never deposit on this site just playing on the free money every few months after it builds to a few buyins. So every few months I get reminded why to never play here. Combine that with the horrible windows 3.1 interface with no standalone app, no hand histories, no HUDs and this site is 100% made for boomers to waste their Sunday evening. I hope WPT dominates the US traffic next year.

cool story

I am a sucker for punishment so I play on Global often. It is rigged AF. I'm up quite a bit lifetime there, but yeah the site is definitely off. You have to treat it like you're playing craps. It is either "your time to win" or "your time to get f***ed". The variance is far more wild than any other site I've played over the past 20 years.

I'm sure most are unaware of this, but you can replace images loaded by the site with ones stored locally using chromes' local overrides. You can use this to create your own skins for the site! I couldn't get every image replacement to work but the entire table/background and the cards are arguably the biggest two anyway and those are fairly easy.

this is awesome is this still ongoing?

Can anyone direct me to the auto-top feature for cash games? I got a new laptop and now I don't auto top and for the life of me cannot find where this setting is. It used to auto top on my old laptop, so I know it does. I have went over everything in the menu multiple times and I cannot find it !!!

open a table > click the settings widget > check auto top up

Super! Thank you sir.

Games not loading.

Running in "pro mode" where tables are loaded in a separate window. Reg'd a few satellites, playing cash games.

The tables never pop up. Go to tournament lobby, click "go to table" , or even "open table" from player list and nothing happens.

Only work around is switching back to every table loading off the main browser window.

I've had this occur multiple dates with multiple tournaments.

I've had similar issues with cash tables, just not loading in a separate window.

Can you change the color of the back of the cards?

I don't understand how it could be but I don't know what else to blame it on either. I'm having zero issues and even had the speed upgraded several weeks ago. New hardware, etc. It just started one day and never stopped. Again: No problems with any other site.

I haven't tried since this last post of mine nearly two weeks ago so I'll go ahead and do that at some point. Really frustrating/buzzkilling.

Yes.

Every card image is actually stored on a sheet that includes every card and their backs.

Love this. Is this not against their TOS though?

They weren't super clear when I emailed about it but it's not third party software or anything. It's quite literally just using inspect element on the site but having the alterations saved in a local folder with the image replacements. I can't say with 100% certainty that it's not, but intuitively it should be more than fine given it's obviously not a harm to game integrity and there's no 3rd party software being used. I will try to get a clear answer from them for my own sake and also post it and then would be happy to post the images I've made and instructions on how to do it if it gets a clear okay!

It is still going. They just announced a few days ago that they are planning to keep FLO8. So far, it is only at a few low stakes. If it gets popular, they will probably open up more stakes.

Final update: They say it's against their tos in regards to "modifying their intellectual property" Afaik, there's zero way to detect someone using inspect element client-side but the verdict is in that there's technically a risk to modding the cosmetics so I wouldn't bother.

I highly doubt they would care but there are methods to detect inspect element. There are probably even more workarounds, but probably not worth it. Link below.

I had the hardest time getting a clear answer about using Sharkscope as well. In the end I had to ask multiple times and basically almost get mad at them so they could give me a black or white answer as everything they kept saying was up for interpretation.

You can look people up on sharkscope man, don't worry. Players have to manually opt-in to sharkscope for global iirc.

Having trouble with global poker verifying my bank details. Sent them both a statement as well as a voided bank cheque but they keep saying they are unable to verify the details. Even though the voided cheque and bank statement clearly mention everything they are asking for. Here is the mail they send me

We are contacting you in line with your Global Poker account.

We appreciate your effort in submitting the requested documents.

However, we still need you to submit the Bank Statement of your nominated bank account.

Please note the following:
-The document must clearly display the issuing institution's name
-Addressed to your name (Joint account is acceptable)
-Shows your complete address
-Account number
-Routing number (If applicable)
-The document must not be older than six (6) months.(issue date must be showing in the document)

We have rejected your bank form, so you can submit your bank document through our new bank verification process

When i ask them to let me know what was wrong and missing from the form i submit they send me a message letting me know how to initiate the bank account verification on there site. I thought this maybe a one off and maybe there was an issue with my bank but asked a friend from a different state(and different bank) to verify his details and his verification failed as well.

Dang... wish it wasn't against their rules.

Thanks though, really appreciate it!

How do you guys find the competition in MTTs? Thinking about using a different site.
