I was wondering the same thing yesterday and saw this on their FAQ page. (https://globalpoker.com/page/faq).

Actual banners in real life? or website banners?
I see their ads on Instagram and Facebook. But never seen an actual real life banner.

Pros:
paypal
Cons:
Browser based - actually not too bad once you get used to it, as long as you don't want to play more than a couple tables at a time
Lack of rakeback/reward system
Not sure about support as I haven't attempted a withdrawal yet but the couple of times I've contacted them I've found them friendly and responsive.

This site needs to be shut down , and have a separate site really look into and test there RNG, no way they either have on or it works, I heard theres a lot of fish, so I been playing for awhile on there, but not any more, it just doesn't add up You will see a lot of people questioning this site, and not all from players that are just bad, a lot these players seemed to have a decent game and patience , I feel like I was cheated thats how bad my several sessions ive played, I stuck with it longer than I should have because the fish are every where and gave variance a chance, but no way its legit or fair, anyways before you play there just watch the rooms and how it deals and the hand of players constantly getting runner , anyways just be careful and do the research, before you deposit .

I've had no issues, and can confirm that the payout is quick.
It's a far cry from the real money sites of 10 years ago, but the play is good.
No rewards, and very little going on beyond actual play. SnG's are a little limited, but plenty of cash games.

Not sure what you're looking at. Maybe the credit card information on your Paypal account?

It's a screen I've never seen before ... so I'm not sure what I'm seeing! But Paypal balance is NOT an option with what I'm looking at. I'll go in to my paypal account directly and see if I can solve it that way.

I have been playing on Global poker for a long time now and cashed out many times
I had read somewhere that Global is about to expand their payment and payout options
soon after I got an email from them saying I have been selected to be using the new payment features
best I can tell from the explanation, you will be able to purchase with MC/visa and payouts will be cashed to your bank account
so last saturday 6/16 i initiated another withdraw. I had no option to choose paypal this time. i got an email and had to ID verification again like when i did first withdrawal
difference this time I needed to send bank account information also
on the 19th i got email it was processed and payout is on its way. so at the moment I'm waiting for it it to show up
I'm hoping when this is done I can email them back and ask that I can still have the option for paypal in the future
i am admittedly speaking from total ignorance on Global's plans, but I get the feeling they may be looking to drop Paypal altogether (though I hope not) because that was the initial appeal why I signed up there

Wow, dropping paypal, certainly won't be expanding their options. And yeah, that was the appeal for me playing there as well.

Dropping PayPal? Withdrawals straight to bank account? Unheard of in post-Black Friday USA. Can anyone explain to me how they can remain legal if this speculation is true? I don't think they'll be able to use the "sweeps cash" excuse for much longer. I play on their site though, and wish them luck with their future.

my understanding is they are operating in conformance with US sweepstakes law. they are located in the US and process payments in the US
so if they are operating legally in the US then it wouldn't make a difference how they pay you. those were/are issues of non-US poker sites
if someone won a sweepstakes in the US for example, they could pay you by check, or electronic check to your bank. it wouldn't matter
and they can and were using Paypal, the potential issue there was Paypal is a separate financial entity that could of its own volition decide it has a problem with it, even in spite of Global continuing to operate in conformance with US Sweepstakes law
so it is better for them and the players in the long run it seems, to make this move

That stinks to hear that it sounds like they are dropping paypal. I recently just came across this room and was thinking of joining for that reason alone. I will now, for sure, wait on doing so to see if they paypal option remains or is going away.

Just got the "official" e-mail notification that, as of June 30th, Global is no longer accepting paypal as a deposit option.
That's fine and all, except for the fact that they stopped accepting paypal long before June 30th. Would love to make one last deposit but do not have a credit card eligible to use.

I signed up with them last night.
I bought $100 worth of gold coins with my Visa credit card from Wells Fargo.
The first attempt failed, but then I got a text message from my bank asking me if the transaction was legit. I confirmed it. I was then instructed by my bank that it was okay to go ahead with the transaction. I went back to global poker and tried again and the purchase was made.
