GG poker…. Killing the uk market

GG seem to be set on killing the uk market. I know I am not alone in being asked for an excess of documents to prove I can afford a £100 limit a month…. I showed wage slips of 3 months showing good money and bank statements where there is usually 2k surplus money a month … Then they question why I have this money … clearly the wage slips meant nothing to them, so I show them data from my work portal that I’m probably not supposed to share, now more questions and more requests .. once I mentioned I put money in a joint account they want to see that statement … out of the question and an invasion of privacy. No other site has treated me this bad, I know the regulations have changed and believe me 15 years ago when I earned peanuts and was maxing out credit cards in online casinos I would have welcomed such checks, but peoples circumstances can change, and evey other site seems to have no issue except gg. One or two sites have been unreasonable but I’m not interested in playing with them in that case, however as gg have cornered the market and virtually killed off all other sites, and become the main sponsor of most uk live evens, I am being denied poker opportunities due to this stupid over protective system which is now looking more like data harvesting. I have already shared more data with them that I feel comfortable and refuse to give in…. If someone with a four figure bank balance can’t afford £100 then who is it exactly they want? Is the problem that they don’t want small stakes players and only want people who can lose thousands a month?! Absolutely ruining poker for me ….

Banned indefinitely, from those jokerstars for no reason i understand

UK stars this story is.

up to Christmas, I go into the casino section and play some slots and ion some super quick time I raise my money to $2000, which I was over the moon with. I was not in the best of places mentally and decided that I can use 'their' money to hit a big jackpot and so played on (like a nut job, heavy sessions, switching machines or bet amounts constantly and after an exhausting 2 weeks I decide to withdraw what in the stars account which stands at $650 and was more than the 2k I had initially won. I had withdrawn and deposittied much more than my usual amounts.

Run

I withdrew the money, account restricted instantly. Great, email says my regular amounts were broken and wellbeing wanted to ensure i cool off, which is all fine. I have no issues other than the addiction trying to get me to play more.

Comes out of well being and Anti Fraud get hold of my account still cant deposit. Beginning to see the madness of the way I was playing slots and decide to ask for casino to be switched off for ever and agree to some deposit limits which i self impose.

Account is taking a long time to come back and i am only really getting a generic message back. I start a complaint and get a complaints officer assigned and still nothing. I have begged them and told them that the name is related to my music so important to me. They have breeched the law once once already with the timelines and they breach again going passed the 8 weeks allowed by law. I now realise this account isw never coming back, I send them the lyrics to a song almost done, and wait.

Then I get banned 3 days apart by both the Complaints officer and the Security guy. They dscide to switch me off at the OS level so my laptops fingerprint and my ip numbers are banned in cloudflare so i can even see the login screen.

Then treated with aggressive orders as to what I am allowed to and not to do (especially in live poker). They warned me they are a private club and told me that the wage slip I sent them was tempered.

Disengaged. Over 20 years a player on stars and apparently , their algorithm has found that in the future I will perform crime on their site or something.

Now here's the thing, I work within data and AI in my profession and the customer data I handle is very sensitive and I have been DBS checked, the data they day had changed was meta data, and it changed because I whatsapped it to myself from my phione. Whatsapp'd on the lapttop and saved it to the desktop and then attached it from there. That meta data is accessible by the OS.

The powers were given to them by the government to catch fraud not to play minority report. I am going to fight them and have started reporting their breeches, along with requesting a SAR from them, I told them that my SAR is a standard SAR and i expected wiithin the 30 days they are given, if they ask for an extension i will report. They replied saying i was not explicit and that I must put it all the details of what data. They listed me all the rights I have and said as far as they are concerned, the matter is closed but feel free to message them.

I responded with a list of their legal obligations, saying I reject your claim, the counter has not been reset and re-iterated the date expecting the reply.

I want to challenge their use of the private club status and show people that their algo is hallucinating on me , I will attend public space that i am member and may attempt to enter any tournament thery hoist.

I dont just want to report them I want to expose them, hiow should i do this?

Still getting 'warnings' about my account will be restricted tomorrow.

Hello..
I made this post https://www.reddit.com/r/GGPoker/comments/1t8osvr/ggcares_team_is_to_slow_to_respond/ 3 days ago.

Since then i had GGCare team respond say sorry and everything is good! See pic:

Thumbs up from GGSupport = All good.

And 19 hours after i received this mail on monday i get the following mail 5 hours ago today.

Why did i get this?

I sent a response back right away but haven't heard anything. What is going on over at GGCares support? They seems to be in disarray and give conflicting information. And the document that was attached in the last mail i already filled in and sent in on 29th of april. However as you can see the box under "following steps" is empty so something seems a bit wierd?

Huge number of fishes in the GG World Festival Bounty Tourneys

Just look through the hands, specially the last hand.

I just posted one tournament but this is common across all the low tier ones.

The unlimited rebuys just deteriorated the quality of poker so bad that it's just sad.

GG Ontario reconnection deadlock

Anyone else having issues reconnecting on GG Ontario? If I’m playing a lot of tables in the evening and I get a lag spike, my software is unable to reconnect and all my tables get deadlocked in a reconnection loop. I can tell it’s not my internet because I still have YouTube running in the background and other family members aren’t affected. The only solution is to force close the program and lose all my seats and forfeit any hands in progress. Support is giving me a generic response like re-install, etc. Thinking this is a software bug and if others report or we can get some visibility here then GG devs can look into a hotfix.

r/poker Goes To WSOP. Your FREE shot at the 2026 Main Event.

r/poker Goes To WSOP: Your FREE Shot at the Main Event in Las Vegas!

The Reddit poker community is heading back to the World Series of Poker, and again, we're sending someone to the biggest stage in poker: the $10,000 WSOP Main Event in Las Vegas.
Last year, we sent Remi Alamian to Las Vegas, where he battled through Day 1 of the Main Event. Earlier this year, Aleksandar Kozomara represented r/poker in Prague at WSOP Europe, grinding deep into Day 3 of the Main Event and cashing for €12,500. Now it's YOUR turn to write the next chapter of this incredible story.
We're thrilled to announce r/poker Goes To WSOP Las Vegas, a tournament series that will send one player to compete in the 2026 WSOP Main Event in Las Vegas this July, completely free.

Yes, you read that right. A $10,000 Bracelet Pass to the most prestigious poker tournament on the planet. FREE entry to the greatest poker tournament of all time.

The Dream: Las Vegas, Summer, and Poker's Biggest Stage:

It’s July 2026. You're walking into the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, the neon glow of the Strip behind you and the weight of poker history ahead. You're not here to watch. You're not here as a spectator. You're here as a competitor in the $10,000 WSOP Main Event, ready to battle thousands of the world's best players for a multi-million dollar first place prize and the title of world champion.

And all you need to get there is a GGPoker account, a Reddit account, and the heart to compete.

How It Works: Three Heats, One Finale, One Dream:

The path to Las Vegas is straightforward, fast paced, and designed to reward skill while giving everyone a fighting chance.

The Weekly Heats:

We're running three turbo qualifying heats, and they're all completely free to enter. Keep your eyes on the GGPoker tournament lobby for exact dates and start times, but here's what we know:
Heat #1: Thursday, May 14, 2026 at 21:00 UTC
Heat #2: Thursday, May 21, 2026 at 21:00 UTC
Heat #3: Thursday, May 28, 2026 at 21:00 UTC
Each heat is a freebuy tournament (that's right, zero dollars out of your pocket to enter, and if you get knocked out, you can buy back in for just $2) open to r/poker members playing on GGPoker. These turbo tournaments move fast, so come prepared to play your A-game from the opening hand.

Your mission?

Finish in the top 75 of any heat to punch your ticket to the Grand Finale.

Finding Your Heat

Locating the tournament in the GGPoker lobby is simple:
Open the GGPoker client
Navigate to the tournament lobby
Type 'r/poker' in the tournament search bar

Look for "r/poker Goes To WSOP [Heat 1]", "[Heat 2]", or "[Heat 3]"

The Password System:

Just like our Prague promotion, we're keeping this tied to the Reddit community. 90 minutes before each heat begins, the tournament password will be released on:

r/poker (watch for pinned posts and announcements)

r/GGPoker (check the latest posts and community updates)

This ensures the series stays connected to our community. Set your phone reminders, bookmark those subreddits, and be ready to grab that password when it drops!

The Grand Finale: 225 Players, One Winner
All roads lead to Wednesday, June 4, 2026 at 21:00 UTC, when 225 qualifiers from the three heats will battle it out in the Grand Finale for the ultimate prize.

The Grand Prize Winner Gets:

$10,000 WSOP Bracelet Pass for the 2026 WSOP Main Event (July 2-6 starting flights, playing until final table July 13)

The honor of being r/poker's representative at the world's most prestigious poker tournament

Your name etched into r/poker history alongside Remi Alamian and Aleksandar Kozomara

But Wait, There's More!

Players finishing in 2nd through 5th place won't go home empty handed. Each will receive a $150 WSOP Express Step 4 ticket, giving them their own shot at qualifying for future WSOP events through the WSOP Express satellite system. These Step 4 tickets are your gateway to the entire WSOP ecosystem, opening doors to tournaments throughout the year.
PLAY YOUR WAY TO VEGAS

More Than Winning a Seat
The r/poker Goes To WSOP: Las Vegas winner becomes part of something bigger. You're not just another player in the field. You're THE player the entire Reddit poker community will be watching and cheering for.

Your Role as the Winner:

When you take down this series, you represent 300,000+ poker players from around the world. Here's what makes this opportunity truly special.

Community Connection:

You'll share your journey with the r/poker and r/GGPoker communities, giving thousands of poker fans a front row seat to your Main Event experience. Every crucial hand, every big decision, every memorable moment gets shared with the community that sent you there.

Following in Footsteps:

You'll join Remi Alamian and Aleksandar Kozomara as r/poker's ambassadors to the WSOP. Remi battled through Day 1 of the 2025 Main Event after winning his seat while watching football with friends on his phone. Aleksandar took it even further in Prague, grinding deep into Day 3 and cashing for €12,500. What will YOUR story be?

The Pressure and the Glory: When you sit down at that table in July, you're carrying the hopes and dreams of an entire community. It’s not a burden. It's fuel.

The Fine Print: What You Need to Know
Eligibility Requirements

Before you dive in, make sure these boxes are checked:
✅ Valid GGPoker Account: You must have an active account on GGPoker.com
✅ Account Verification: Your account must be fully verified (complete your KYC if you haven't already)
✅ Reddit Membership: You must be a member in good standing at r/poker
✅ Age Requirement: You must be 21+ to play poker in the United States
If you don't have a GGPoker account yet, there's still time. Head to GGPoker.com, create your account, complete your verification, and get ready for Heat #1 in May.

The Commitment: You MUST Play
Here's something absolutely critical: If you win this Bracelet Pass, you MUST travel to Las Vegas and play in the 2026 WSOP Main Event. This is no cash alternative. This is not transferable. This is your shot to compete in poker's world championship.
The $10,000 Bracelet Pass is exclusively for the WSOP Main Event in Las Vegas (starting flights July 2-6, 2026). If you can't make the commitment to travel and play, please don't enter the series. We want someone in that tournament, living the dream, and representing r/poker on poker's biggest stage.
After the Grand Finale, the winner will need to confirm they can travel and play. If they can't, the prize passes to the next eligible finisher until we find our r/poker champion.

FAQ: Everything You Need to Know
Q: Do I really not have to pay anything to enter the heats?
A: Correct! These are freeroll tournaments. There is no cost whatsoever to participate.
Q: Can I play in multiple heats?
A: Absolutely! We strongly encourage it. Play in all three heats to maximize your chances of finishing top 75 and making it to the finale. Remember, you only need to finish top 75 ONCE to qualify.
Q: What if I qualify from multiple heats?
A: You'll still only get one seat in the Grand Finale. But hey, that just means one less player standing between you and Vegas.
Q: What is a Bracelet Pass?
A: A Bracelet Pass is your golden ticket to the WSOP. It's worth $10,000 and serves as your entry into the WSOP Main Event in Las Vegas. With this pass, you're not buying in. You're walking straight to the registration desk as a qualified player.
Q: What is WSOP Express and the Step 4 ticket?
A: WSOP Express is GGPoker's satellite system that lets players work their way up through different steps (Step 0 through Step 4) to win passes to major WSOP events. A Step 4 ticket (valued at $150) puts you near the top of that ladder, giving you multiple shots at winning your own Bracelet Pass or other WSOP packages. Check out more details at ggpoker.com/wsop-express.
Q: What time is 21:00 UTC in my timezone?
A: UTC is Coordinated Universal Time. For reference: 21:00 UTC is 5:00 PM EDT, 2:00 PM PDT, 11:00 PM CEST. Check your local timezone converter to be sure.
Q: What if I don't use Reddit regularly?
A: No problem! You don't need to be an active Reddit contributor to participate. Just make sure you have a Reddit account, join r/poker and r/GGPoker as a member in good standing, and check those subreddits about 90 minutes before each heat to grab the password.
Q: Can I share the password with friends?
A: The passwords will be publicly posted on the subreddits, so everyone in the community will have access. Just don't wait too long after the password drops to register!
Q: What happens if I win but can't travel to Las Vegas?
A: The prize will pass to the next eligible finisher in the Grand Finale. We need someone who can commit to playing in the Main Event and representing r/poker in Las Vegas.
Q: Do I need to be a US resident to enter?
A: No! The heats are open to all GGPoker players in regulated markets. However, you must be able to travel to Las Vegas and you must be 21+ to play in the WSOP Main Event.
Q: What's the tournament structure for the heats?
A: All three heats feature a turbo structure, so the action moves fast. Bring your A game from the first hand. Check the GGPoker lobby closer to each heat date for full structure details.

To the Grinder Community,

We all know that in the world of high-volume poker, clarity is everything. We rely on split-second decisions across multiple tables. But with the latest UI update, GG Poker has effectively crippled our ability to play.

The new interface is a disaster for anyone playing more than two tables. By prioritizing "modern" aesthetics over functionality, GG has made the game physically straining and professionally impossible to play.

The Breaking Points:

  • Microscopic Cards & Numbers: The font size for stack sizes, pot totals, and card values has been drastically reduced. It’s no longer a game of skill; it’s a test of eyesight.
  • Impossible Multi-tabling: When tiling tables, the information becomes unreadable. For grinders running 6, 9, or 12+ tables, the new UI is a direct threat to our win rate and our health (eye strain).
  • Cluttered Visual Noise: While the essential information (the numbers) got smaller, the useless visual clutter got bigger. We need data, not animations.

The Demand: Bring Back Scalability

We are not just casual players; we are the ones who provide liquidity to the site. We demand:

  1. A Revert to the Legacy UI where text and cards were bold and legible.
  2. Scalable HUD and Font options that actually work when tables are resized.
  3. An "Optimization Mode" that strips away the fluff for serious multi-tablers.

The Action: Sit Out Until It’s Fixed

Until GG Poker acknowledges that this UI is a failure for the professional community, we must take action:

  • Log off and stay off. Move your volume to sites that value player UX.
  • Withdraw or hold your deposits. Hit them where it hurts—the bottom line.
  • Voice your protest: Use the hashtag #UItooSmall and #BringBackTheOldUI.

We didn't sign up to squint at our screens for 8 hours a day. If we can't see the numbers, they won't see our rake.

Stop the grind. Switch the site. Demand the change.

Recently, GGPoker tried to shove that terrible new table UI down our throats. The community hated it, we complained everywhere, and they actually reverted it. This proves one thing: we have a voice when we make enough noise.

So if we can unite over an ugly table design, why isn't there a massive uproar about PVI (Player Value Index)?

Let's be real, PVI is the most toxic system in the poker ecosystem right now. The narrative is that it "protects recreationals", but that's BS. It doesn't give them a bonus; it just pays them the baseline. Meanwhile, if you're a reg or even a rec on a hot streak, the algorithm punishes you. Your PVI drops in the shadows, and your actual rakeback is slashed by a hidden multiplier.

Why aren't the big names complaining? Because most huge influencers and pros have behind-the-scenes 100% rakeback deals just to smile on stream and hype the site. PVI doesn't affect them. They don't feel their win rate bleeding out.

We aren't asking for 100% ambassador deals. We just want basic transparency. If GG says my loyalty tier gives me 20% rakeback, I want exactly 20% of the real rake I generated. Nothing more, nothing less. No hidden black boxes punishing profitability.
