I only play on Global Poker and Ignition. Global poker is softer and "less bots" in my opinion. Global Poker even offer wire transfer for withdraw. They claim it is legal through Sweepstakes model.

If you are that paranoid. You can cash out on Global Poker for gift cards lol. No one can track you.

Rather than create a new thread, I thought I'd just ask about this here: I have rakeback on WPN but am seeing people talk about having rakeback on Ignition and Global. How do I go about getting myself set up with rakeback on these sites? Thanks!

Pretty sure they in order to cash out you have to submit your ID and social info. I had to. Don't believe you can cash out without. I believe they report winnings over $600.

Live player here looking to figure out online poker. I'm in NY, most casinos shut down.

ACR and ignition seem to claim i can play there?

Whats the catch? limited cashout methods, etc? They don't seem to be very forthcoming on the websites.

Appreciate any guidance.

I don't think they're reporting anything. I think they're just collecting the info for the know your customer laws and that's it.

ACR(WPN), Ignition, BetOnline, GlobalPoker. Right now: No catch. Quick deposits and withdrawals, good games, nice traffic.

I play live. Online is my training ground. Online is a lot tougher, which makes it a good training ground for live play. There's more money to make playing live.

There are 4 networks available to most US players with decent amounts of traffic: Chico (BOL, Sportsbetting), WPN (ACR, BCP), PaiWangLuo (Ignition, Bovada) and Global. The first 3 have multiple skins indicated in parenthesis. Global is its own skin.

They all have quick payouts. But because Chico, WPN, and PaiWangLuo are basically operating under the US legal radar they have limited banking options and crypto is the only good way to take a payout. With Global you get ACH payouts directly to your bank account.

The question you need to ask your self for playing online is if you want to play with a HUD, or if you are OK with players using HUD's against you. On both Chico and WPN HUD's are widely used and you can use one too. There are people on these sites who consider HUD's to be overrated and don't use one but generally speaking a HUD is recommended if you play at these sites.

I would say Global is the most like live poker, because players are not anonymous and note taking is allowed, but tracking software and HUD's are not allowed.

OTOH Ignition and Bovada offer another twist: anonymous poker. Players don't have persistent usernames, and everyone is just a number at the table. So you don't know who anyone is. You can use HUD to collect stats over a single session at a cash table or in a tournament, but you won't have persistent stats. If a player leaves the table and another sits down, you don't know if its the same player or someone else. HUD software is also useful for tracking your own stats.

My suggestion would be to play at Global, because its the most like live play. Playing with a HUD can spoil you if you become dependent on it. OTOH, I recommend playing on one of the two networks with HUD's because both looking at your own stats and and using player stats to exploit them can deepen your knowledge the game, which can indirectly improve your live game.

See https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/252/global-poker/. I would think that everything you'd like to know is in a thread in that forum.

I am seeking one or two reputable online sites with good and easy to clear bonuses. I play hold'em cash games, double -or-nothing SnGs, and a little blackjack on the side. I cleared my sign-up bonus and Ignition, but there is no reload bonus or other rewards there at all now. I am based in Illinois.
Thanks in advance for your valuable suggestions.

Bonuses are hard to come by for American player. Just keep scouring the main promo pages for every site you can find. Right now, for US guys like us...I don't see anything better than Global. They'll pop up these promos like deposit $20 and get $50 or for higher stakes guys it's even greater. A lot of other sites either have nothing to offer in this regard, something extremely rarely, or something bizarre that's tied into casino play, etc.

I am not an expert when it comes to this aspect of the game right now, though so I'm as interested in what others have to say as you are now. Those are my two pennies from what I'm seeing currently, however.

For Global, you only need driver license or government ID for verification. For wire withdrawal, you need to send a copy of bank statement. They even offer debit card for withdraw too now.

I have never used a HUD. I don't want to be tracked because I have a very tight style and HUD users would pick up on that in no time. Perhaps Global is better because they are not used there, and Global is more "legal" than ACR.
I am tired of Ignition because—after clearing the sign-up bonus—there are no rewards or cash back to speak of.

I understand that Global is licensed by MGA, so it may be the only option that is properly licensed. At Ignition, there is no license, so its RNG for poker and blackjack cannot really be trusted.

I currently play micro NL Cash games on BOL and am looking to make a switch to a site that allows a HUD (I don't want to pay for the Card Catcher). From the prior posts that I have read, it appears that the WPN skins allow HUDS but the sites are littered with bots.

Is there a good skin that has non-anonymous tables (I want to see players names and track stats), allows HUDs, and isn't rampant with bots/cheaters?

I've searched the last 6 or so pages on this thread and haven't found an answer to my question, so I apologize in advance if this has been asked before.

Thanks in advance!

Intertops allows huds and is non anonymous. Traffic is low so I’d advise looking at the lobbies to make sure games u wanna play actually run before making a deposit.

I tried to deposit at Ignition with a debit card in March, and it was declined. I had to use Bitcoin for the first time. Depositing was easier than I thought. I doubt that you'll find a site that will take your credit card, but you can try.

Yeah thx
I guess but seem I’m totally noob on that subject , I just can’t trust this way to go for now .
For myself and for others .

Pokerstars is so ******ed for not already being in the space of bitcoin yet .
Than again , pokerstars as been crumbling down for years now ....

Seem ACR is the only one available , accept credit card , cash out bitcoin , shrug .
Hopefully I won’t have to spend 3 month playing before caching out in bitcoin ....
Just wish I had 1 or 2 sites more to compare it too .
