The world is on lockdown and with everyone asked to stay at home, Global Poker decided to bring some Online Poker joy into the lives of all people in the USA.
Starting March 30th, the US-facing poker site launches its first really enormous poker series, the Global Poker Home Series. The series is running for 4 weeks and guarantees a whopping 2 Million.
How does Global Poker work?
Online Poker in the US? How does that work?
A fair question, since only a few states in the US currently allow traditional online poker and most Americans seemingly don’t have the option to play online. Global Poker has the solution in the form of “Social Gaming”. On Global Poker you technically don’t play for real money, but only for Gold Coins or Sweeps Coins. Once you sign up, you receive some Gold Coins (200,000 to be precise) and some Sweeps Coins. Gold Coins are purely for fun but Sweeps Coins can be redeemed for real money at the rate of 1 US-Dollar per 1 Sweeps Coin.
After you have signed up you can purchase more Gold Coins in packages of various sizes. For each purchase of Gold Coins you receive some Sweeps Coins as bonus for free. You can play with either Gold Coins or Sweeps Coins, take part in Cash Games, Sit and Go’s or Tournaments. You can always redeem your Sweeps Coins.
Since you’re technically not purchasing Sweeps Coins (they’re always only a free bonus when purchasing Gold Coins), you’re technically not playing for real money. That’s called “Social Gaming” and it is completely legal in 49 US-Stated (only Washington doesn’t allow these kind of sweepstakes). Although you’re technically not playing for real money, you can, of course, always redeem your Sweeps Coins.
