Global Poker app review

Global Poker licenses its poker app from longtime poker pro Cubeia Sweden. The poker client is entirely web-based, and can be accessed equally well from mobile browser for Android and Apple iOS devices and tablets, or web browser for PC and Mac laptops and computers. Multiple games can be played at the same time.

Navigation

Account details that can’t be found by clicking on the “Purchase Coins” button in the upper right corner of the page will be located under the hamburger icon in the top left corner of the page.

A new screen will open and display a long list of options on the left side of the page, including your Gold Coin/Sweeps Coin balances, leaderboard ranking, achievements and bonuses earned, details on challenges, available avatars, store to purchase special avatars, and gameplay history sorted by date and time, including poker hands, casino game spins, blackjack hands and transactions.

The “settings” link will let you change deck and table colors and themes and alert tones, as well as others. Toggle the pro mode on to open tables in new windows. You can also choose to hide your pocket cards whether you are winning or losing a hand.

Poker games and tournaments at Global Poker

You will primarily find no limit Texas Hold’em ring games, sit and go’s and multi-table tournaments on Global Poker, with a limited number of Omaha and Crazy Pineapple tables available at times.

Global Poker’s lobby opens to ring games by default, but tables can be sorted by game, format (multi-table, sit and go or jackpot sit and go tournaments), stakes (micro, low, medium, high) and more.

To join a game, click on a table and a new window will open. Choose any available seat. Global Poker’s client is not as fancy as what you might find on other sites, but it’s functional. A chat client is available, along with hand history and a few preference settings.

Available poker games include:

• No limit Texas Hold’em
• Pot-Limit Omaha
• Crazy Pineapple

Anywhere from 150 ring games can be found running around the clock, primarily no limit Texas Hold’em with about 40 or so Pot-Limit Omaha tables.

Over 80 Texas Hold’em SNG tables were running one evening mid-week, while thousands of players were seated at Texas Hold’em MTT tables. About half the ring tables for Pot-Limit Omaha are in use at any given time, along with eight weekly tournaments.

Although Crazy Pineapple is listed as an available option, the game can only be played during one weekly MTT. The Cool Pineapple progressive bounty, six-max tournament offers a guaranteed 500 Sweeps Coin prize on Thursday evenings. An entry fee of 11 Sweeps Coins is required.

Global takes a flat 5% rake on all tables, even for Gold Coins, which have no value. The only exception is jackpot SNG tournaments, which include a 6% rake built into the tournament fee.

Global Poker traffic and player base

The site generally sees a steady influx of players around the clock, with higher stakes games more common during peak evening hours.

Global Poker draws players from a full spectrum of skill levels, from complete novices to professional poker players and everything in between. Global Poker advertises heavily on social media sites such as Facebook, which tends to draw large numbers of recreational poker players who are often brand new to the game. In turn, a large contingent of highly skilled poker players is also drawn to the site.

While playing games for Gold Coins may seem counterproductive, brand new players may want to at least get some practice with the poker client and get comfortable with the mechanics in a more laid back setting at first.

To play for Gold Coin stakes, click the “switch to Gold Coins” button in the top right corner of the page, or vice versa, to move between virtual tokens.

Global Poker Tournaments

Global Poker’s Texas Hold’em MTTs start running anywhere from every hour and a half in the morning to every 15 minutes later in the day.

Global Poker’s largest MTT beings at 5:30 p.m. Eastern every Sunday. The Sunday Scrimmage has a 50,000 Sweeps Coin guaranteed prize and an entry fee of 218 Sweeps Coins.

Other regular tournaments with bigger payouts include the Saturday Swish with a 6,000 Sweeps Coin guaranteed prize and an entry fee of 55 Sweeps Coins; the Sunday Teaser with a 20,000 Sweeps Coin guaranteed prize and entry fee of 110 Sweeps Coins; the Tuesday Tussle with a 10,000 Sweeps Coin guaranteed prize and an entry fee of 110 Sweeps Coins; and the Thursday Throttle with a 7,500 Sweeps Coin guaranteed prize and an entry fee of 110 Sweeps Coins.

If you don’t have the time to sit through an MTT, choose an SNG. You will find six- and nine-player SNG tables, with turbo or hyper-turbo rules that won’t take long at all.

Global Poker’s jackpot sit and go tournaments are hyper-turbo, three-player hold’em games with a randomly determined prize pool ranging from 2x to 10,000x your entry fee.

Winner takes all, unless your table gets the randomly assigned jackpot, in which case the winner will get three-quarters of the prize pool and the rest is split. With an entry fee of 20 Sweeps Coins, if your table draws the jackpot, you will be playing for a share of 200,000 Sweeps Coins.

Hold’em bounty tournaments award prizes or bounties for every player eliminated. At the end of the tournament, some players may have amassed bounties higher than the prize payouts.

Casino games at Global Poker

Global Poker recently added several exclusive casino games, including two video slots, a couple of blackjack games, and one video poker title, Caribbean Poker.

How does Global Poker’s sweepstakes system work?

Flipping between two virtual tokens will probably seem confusing at first, and playing poker within sweepstakes law boundaries may always seem strange, but in the end, what does it matter? If you like to play poker against real players, you can do that right now on Global Poker from nearly every state in the country.

Here is how the system works in a nutshell: To meet sweepstakes laws, Sweeps Coins cannot be purchased, they must be given away for free. Gold Coins can be purchased, and FREE Sweeps Coins are given away with those Gold Coin purchases.

Another key point: Only Sweeps Coins won in poker games can be redeemed for cash prizes. Sweeps Coins that are given away have no value and cannot be redeemed for cash prizes.

How do I buy Gold Coins?

Click the “Purchase Now” button in the upper right corner of the page and choose the Gold Coins you’d like to purchase.

Global Poker accepts Visa, Mastercard, and American Express credit and debit cards, Skrill, and online bank transfers.

Available Gold Coins include the following:

High rollers may receive special clearance to purchase $2,000 worth of Gold Coins that include 11 million Gold Coins with 2,300 FREE Sweeps Coins.

How do I redeem Sweeps Coins for cash prizes?

You can request a cash prize redemption when your winnings total at least 50 Sweeps Coins. Click the “Purchase Now” button in the top right corner of the page, then choose the “redeem prize” tab to initiate your redemption request. If you haven’t already completed the account verification process, you will need to follow the prompts to clear that requirement first.

You can choose to receive your prizes in cash via online bank transfer or Skrill, or choose a gift card instead. Redemption requests are typically processed internally within 24 hours. Gift card redemptions are the fastest transactions. Note that Skrill may charge you a fee to process your redemption.

Global Poker customer service

Global Poker does not offer a live chat client, but a comprehensive and easy-to-navigate frequently asked questions section and support ticket system maintained by ZenDesk will be able to field most questions and concerns. Alternatively, you can send an email to [email protected]

FAQ topics cover everything from getting started and general information, to account and cashier details, features and settings, and technical issues. NY online poker players and those from around the US will find a section dedicated to responsible gaming, as well.

Novice to expert players will also benefit from useful tips and strategies found in Global Poker’s How to Play section and Poker School guides, many written by former PokerStars cardroom manager Lee Jones.

History of Global Poker

Licensed and regulated by the Malta Gaming Authority, Chumba Casino, VGW’s first sweepstakes-based internet casino enterprise, launched in 2012. Chumba, which offers a collection of in-house developed slots and table games, along with licensed third-party titles, was not widely available in the US until 2017.

While VGW’s attorneys continued to iron out the legal wrinkles in the pending patent, the company acquired the rights to Cubeia Sweden’s online poker platform and launched Global Poker in 2016.

In 2018, VGW acquired San Francisco game studio OpenWager and launched LuckyLand Slots, which offers only slots games.

FendOff Sports was launched the following year. A recent partnership with virtual sports provider Inspired Entertainment will help the site develop its sweepstakes-based sports prediction games.
