How can I play for real money on Global Poker?
The secret to Global Poker’s operation is how it handles the money.
Global Poker operates using a sweepstakes model. It sells Gold Coins to players. Gold Coins are a virtual currency and can be used to play “cash” games or tournaments against other players. Gold Coins are not redeemable for cash.
Sweeps Cash is given to players to promote the sale of Gold Coins. Sweeps Cash is also a virtual currency and can be used to play in Sweeps Cash games. The difference between Gold Coins and Sweeps Cash is players can exchange Sweeps Cash for real cash prizes via PayPal.
What can U.S. online poker players expect on Global Poker?
Global Poker offers no-limit and limit hold’em, Omaha, and now, Crazy Pineapple.
During peak times, players can often find upwards of 100 tables of a variety of Gold Coin and Sweeps Cash games in action. Omaha and Crazy Pineapple are expectedly more limited, but if no-limit is your game, there usually a seat open. Players can find Sweeps Cash stakes starting as low as $0.02-$0.04 and up to $10-$20.
Global Poker also offers regular Gold Coin and Sweeps Cash tournament schedules, in addition to its upcoming Rapido tournament series.
Two of the most notable Sweeps Cash tournaments are the $0.11 Daily $500 Bonanza at 9:00 p.m. (ET) and $218.00 Sunday Scrimmage $50,000 Guaranteed at 5:30 p.m. (ET).
