Global Poker FAQ

Global Poker Review: Global Poker App Highlights For anyone who wants to play online poker, it’s clear a solid mobile poker experience is a must. As you’d expect, our Global Poker review found that Global Poker on mobile is top-notch.

How does the Global Poker promotional sweepstakes model work?

The most noticeable flaw with Global Poker’s software is that, compared to other poker sites, there is a lack of gameplay options that you can adjust to your liking. There are a total of nine different gameplay options to choose from which covers all of the sound settings, game settings, and table settings. Global Poker is the biggest bullshit site out there!!! Constant Hands are setup for big pot show downs(big rake$$ for GP) where everyone is risking all their chips all-in just to get beat on the. Reviews of how Global Poker works over the first 6 months of operations have been widely complimentary, and are demonstrating the effectiveness of the model. As of summer 2017 there are often up to 200 tables running at the same time with one winner landing over $34,000 in a single pot in one cash game. Global Poker’s social games are intended to be a fun entertainment for our players. As you are aware, poker is a game of chance and skill, and both of these elements determine a player’s outcome. In relation to the chance element of Global Poker’s games, the random number generator (RNG) uses a Mersenne Twister with background cycling.

Global Poker sells a virtual currency called Gold Coins. These are virtual chips which players can accumulate and play with. However, they are not redeemable for cash prizes.

When a player purchases Gold Coins on the site, they are given bonus sweepstakes prizes in the form of Sweeps Coins. The Sweeps Coins can be used to enter Sweeps Coins tournaments and ring games on the site. Any Sweeps Coins accumulated or won can be redeemed as cash prizes through WorldPay.

What sets Global Poker apart from the competition?

Outside of New Jersey, Nevada, and Delaware, online poker sites that welcome US poker players are few and far between. Those that do are offshore sites that are, at best, operating in a grey area. Players may find it difficult to get money on and off these sites and there are no guarantees their accounts will remain accessible and their money safe.

In contrast, Global Poker works with WorldPay, one of the most trusted and easily accessible online money transfer sites in the world. Ultimately, Global Poker’s ability to offer US customers online poker with a recognizable and easily accessible banking option sets it apart from its otherwise shady competition.

How long does it take to redeem my prize on Global Poker?

Global Poker requires ID verification when a player requests their first redemption to make sure the cash prize ends up in the right hands. Once documents are sent in, the site endeavors to verify them as soon as possible. Global Poker says the redemption process depends on whether or not the correct form of identification has been sent through. However, it normally takes about five days for verification and an additional five days for the prize to be processed to your bank account via WorldPay.

Documents that can be used for ID verification include:

  • Passport
  • Driver’s license
  • National/State ID
  • Other government issued ID

Documents that can be used for proof of address include:

  • Utility Bill
  • Notarized lease agreement
  • Bank statements
  • Medical insurance

What’s the rake?

Many players may be curious about the rake for playing at the site. The Sweeps Coins ring games feature a 5 percent rake. However, there are caps in place depending on the numbers of players.

How to get free sweeps at Global Poker

One of the requirements for a site like Global Poker to remain classified as a sweepstakes site is that it must be possible to play for its prizes without paying anything yourself. While there are several ways that you can get free Sweeps Coins on Global (Gold Coin purchase, social media contests, registration), we wanted to explore the most direct method: mailing a request to Global Poker company headquarters.

This method for acquiring Sweeps Coins comes with exceptionally specific instructions. Global Poker’s Sweeps rules lay out exactly what you need to do. Let us be clear: You must follow these instructions to the letter. If you don’t, your request is voided and you won’t receive any free Sweeps.

Global Poker Withdrawal Review

All requests must be handwritten. If you use a computer to produce your request, it will not work, so you’ll need a pen (or two).

Secondly, you have to have stationery that conforms to specific dimensions. Your request card needs to be 4” x 6”, blank, unlined and unfolded. Global recommends a postcard, but you can either buy the proper cards at an office supply store like Office Depot (what we did), or you can cut paper into the proper size.

You will also need to have No. 10 envelopes on hand to contain your request. You can put only one request in each envelope, so don’t try to pack them into one mailing. Finally, you will need some stamps. Neither Global nor any other sweepstakes site will pay for postage.

Once you have everything together, you’re ready to start the request. As you can see, the elements that Global wants on each card are quite explicit.

On the same side of each card, you will write your full name, your email address and every word of the following statement:

Global Poker Review

“I wish to receive Sweeps Coins to participate in the sweepstakes promotions offered by Global Poker. By submitting this request, I hereby declare that I have read, understood and agree to be bound by Global Poker’s Terms and Conditions and Sweeps Rules.”

Here’s how we wrote our request. The name and email have been blacked out for privacy reasons.

Please make sure that you only write on one side of the card. If you mark the opposite side, start again.

Once you’ve written your card, you should turn your attention to the envelope. It, too, must be handwritten with both Global Poker’s address and your return address.

Withdrawal

Don’t use return labels, even though they would save money. Also, make sure to write the phrase “Sweepstakes Credits” somewhere on the envelope — we wrote it as if it was the person to whom we were sending the request.

Put the request in the envelope, and do not fold it as you do so. The instructions clearly mention that the request must be unfolded. After that, put the stamp on the request, and drop it in a mailbox.

Global Poker Official Site Free

Each successful request will yield 5 free Sweeps Coins into your account. If you want to redeem cash prizes from your account, you will need to verify it, so that’s not a bad thing to do while you’re waiting for the requests to arrive at VGW’s mailing address.

Global Poker player rewards

Nlop National League Of Poker

Global Poker doesn’t offer a VIP rewards program, which is a major shortcoming even by social gaming standards. On the bright side, the site features leaderboards and challenges that award its most active players with free Sweeps Coins. Furthermore, since the guarantees are relatively high, tournaments hosted on Global Poker can be considered a type of promotion.
