Global Poker<\/strong> is raising the stakes on the Sunday Scrimmage<\/strong>. The poker website\u2019s marquee tournament will feature a\u00a0SC$100,000 guarantee on Sept. 2<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The buy-in for the event will remain at SC$218. If that amount of $weeps Cash is too steep, Global Poker will be running numerous satellites for the event beginning August 13. Players can win a ticket to the big dance for as little as $SC$3.30.<\/p>\n In fact, there is even a way to punch your ticket without spending a dime. On Aug. 18, Global Poker is hosting a special freeroll and giving away SC$5,000 in tournament entries<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The last few Sunday Scrimmages have not reached the old guarantee of $SC50,000. Potentially, this tournament could yield a SC$50,000 or greater overlay<\/strong>.<\/p>\n If the currency markers seem confusing, it is because Global Poker\u2019s business model is unique.<\/p>\n Global Poker operates two currencies in tandem with one another: Gold Coins<\/strong> and $weeps Cash<\/strong>. The two currencies rarely interact with each other.<\/p>\n Players deposit funds into the site in order to buy Gold Coins. Gold Coins have no monetary value, but each purchase receives an equivalent supply of $weeps Cash for free.<\/p>\n Players can actually withdraw $weeps Cash for real dollars. Because the player cannot buy $weeps Cash directly, Global Poker becomes a sweepstakes entity rather than a gambling one.<\/p>\n With online poker legal and regulated in only three states (New Jersey<\/strong>, Delaware<\/strong>, and Nevada<\/strong>), American players are short on options for playing real-money games. They can either try the Global Poker sweepstakes\u00a0system\u00a0or take their chances with offshore sites that are murky in terms of legality.<\/p>\n One of these sites, the dubiously-named Americas Cardroom<\/strong>, has dealt with significant technical issues over the course of the past week. Its tournament series, with no less than $10 million in guarantees, suffered through three major DDoS attacks on consecutive days.<\/p>\n New Jersey is also reportedly targeting offshore poker sites, namely Bovada<\/strong>, to drive their operations out of the state. This type of aggression from states with regulated online\u00a0gambling could ultimately lead to another crackdown on illegal gambling at the federal level.<\/p>\n If you haven\u2019t tried Global Poker yet, sign up today and receive a free SC$2 to get your bankroll started. Satellites for the SC$100,000 Sunday Scrimmage are also running through Sept. 2.<\/p>\n New Players Get A Free Bonus At Global Poker<\/p>\n<\/div>\nHow does Global Poker work?<\/span><\/h2>\n
