Review of Global Poker


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

95% of the people you are 'playing' are…

95% of the people you are 'playing' are house players/house bots. I was playing a Sit 'N Go and also at the same cash table as two of these 'players' and they were BOTH instantly pressing sleep and sit out repeatedly. They were housebots that glitched.

As soon as they gave me AA I knew my stack was gone. One of the housebots raises me, I reraise my AA, another one SNAPS allin without hesitation at all after playing 15% of hands for 1 hour straight with a tight range. The other bot snap folds no hesitation at all. He turns over 29o and flops a full house 299.

If you do your research, you will understand these gambling companies all locate themselves off the shores of Africa. It's essentially a Nigerian Prince scam via cards. Your AA/KK/QQ has less than a 20% chance of winning a showdown, even though the stats should be the opposite.

They buff your winrate by making sure you get premium hands in the big blind repeatedly with the whole table folding or giving every other player trash hands so they snap fold and you can collect a 'win' with your premium. Then, when the money matters and stacks go in Pre/postflop, these house players turn over the EXACT cards that the board runs out with.

It is completely rigged, and it has been since I started playing. A consistent 15% showdown rate with premium hands for 5 years now.

SEVENTEEN runner runners in a row

SEVENTEEN runner runners in a row, straight flushed, quads, full house over full house.

Literally spitting at my monitor yelling as I watch 95% favorite hands get 'coolered' by 1% runner runners and the House Player/House Bot opponent turns over the 2 magical cards that connect with the runners.

Went from $45 (1 hand away from cashout) to losing 43 flops in a row(mathematically impossible) and going down to $6 before leaving.

It's a carnival scam site based in Af.rica

HOUSEBOTS you will never beat

HOUSEBOTS you will never beat. It was always rigged, now is impossible. They changed the algorithm again.

Something changed right around the end of 2025. They removed all their free weekly tournaments over time, and myself and all my poker friends now have extremely decreased consistent winrates. No, this isn't variance. We are talking 9% win rates for 4 months straight with all premium hands. 50+ showdowns with AK/AQs+ preflop where they magically call with a low pair and hold every time or hit a set, even though it should be nearly a flip.

The algorithm used to be if you grinded at the tables you'd always be losing to the housebots but if you called enough hands in position with the fish/regs you could profit. Now they are specifically dealing unfoldable hands to the fish where they will have usually 2 outs that give the nuts and then given their high pair on the river. That's only one aspect, if you open these hands on a poker calculator, you will be seeing one in a million hand positions and hole cards alone, multiplied by absurd runner runner flops that give the exact 2 cards these fish or bots need to win every time. Sure, you'll hit a runner runner too.... every 6 hours. Meanwhile you are folding your strong flops and holdings to telegraphed coolers by the site multiple times per 10 minutes just at one table.

They hide hand history, but if you look it up before the delete it... you can see during your 'variance' time you will literally lose 99/100 hands that have raises in them. As soon as money goes in they take your stack piece by piece.

If you haven't played in a while, they will give you 2-3 decent wins in a row but nothing you can cash out with, followed by drawing dead, every hand getting cracked immediately by runners, and major pocket pairs getting dealt in the perfect position for their housebots to take your stack.

They hide on an African Island to avoid legal prosecution.

No regulation at all. They allow a small percentage of players to win long term so they have testimonials, the rest of players will lose with KK/AA 95% of the time. An 80% winning hand should have 80% win rate long term, never close to 5%.

The tables are filled with housebots that will punish you any time you try to dominate a weaker player, and magically turn over the nuts or get 1.5% runner runners. Tourneys filled with fake accounts to soak up the prizepool.

They hide player names so people who don't know any better think they are just getting beaten by 'sharks'. You'll see unexplainable hand after unexplainable hand at almost every stake. A nit bot playing 15% of hands will snap call your AA raise and hit triplets with J3o. You'll get away from these hands because you know it's rigged but they'll just do it again and again until everything is gone.

They own Global Poker

They own Global Poker, which is insanely rigged beyond mathematical possibility. I've lost with AA/KK in showdowns 17 times in a row now, which is a mathematical chance that is one in billions.

It gets worse, during my poker session today, I lost 80 hands in a row. EIGHTY. I was having to make crazy folds over and over. The times they gave me a decent price to call them, they MAGICALLY had the exact running cards for gutshots, 3 of a kind, flush.

Every site owned by Chumba is rigged. They are located in Africa and hire 3rd world support 'agents'.

Mathematically Impossible Losses

I've been playing on the site for years and the absolute worst cards constantly come down to either help your opponent make an easy fold or demolish your hand.

There are housebots/players on the site I have played against for years and still have a 5% win rate against. That's not how poker math works. Even if another player was 'better', Aces and Kings shouldn't be getting cracked 90% of the time.

You'll also notice your 36% chance to hit an open ended straight draw is like 5% and your chance to hit a flush draw after the flop is less than 5%, despite the fact it's supposed to be 45-50%.

As soon as you have enough money to withdraw, WITHDRAW immediately. Tonight I withdrew as soon as I could and then within 5 minutes I got Aces cracked by 87s on the big blind. He would've NEVER folded and the hand was rigged for me to lose my entire stack no matter what.

The tournaments are filled with fake bot players as well designed to 'soak' the prize pool so they don't have to pay anything out.

High and medium stakes poker on the site has completely died since people realized the Bot Rings on the site are actually run by Global Poker themselves.
