Global Poker Increases Online World Challenge Guarantees by More than 10%!

What happens if you are a poker site offering $1million in guarantees for your summer-long online extravaganza but find yourself with some hefty overlays? Tighten the belt, look for savings? That might be the PokerStars way, but not Global Poker’s – who have instead upped the ante by offering more than 10% in extra guaranteed prizefunds!

Their Online World Challenge (OWC) has already seen SC$650,000 dished out to happy players, and their clever $weeps Cash (SC$) means that US players can indulge a summer of tournaments and cash games and able to cash out their winnings into real-life $ whenever they like.

The extra 10% (10.7% actually, but let’s keep it simple) with an average of approximately SC$20,000 in additional $weeps Cash up for grabs each week in selected tournaments, the overlays already proving to be a happy-hunting ground for players who have been enthralled by the site’s clean tables, wide range of games and, of course, the chance to win real cash prizes.

Last week’s article focused on the massive interest in streaming the OWC events, the likes of Spraggy, ModPoker and Fireburns among many others sharing their tournament trials and tribulations with a huge fanbase.

This week’s announcement of the increased overlays is likely to increase the levels of interest, Global Poker updating their tournament schedule to include the tournaments which have the added value, with the site gearing up for their own ‘main event’ - the Monster Challenge SC$10,000 Freeroll which kicks off on July 23rd.

Before we reach that, however, there’s a feast of action taking place on a daily basis, the action kicking off at 5pm EST every weekday with a total of 17 tournaments running until midnight. Ranging from Daily $500 Freerolls that you unlock by playing gold coins, to the biggest daily $4,000 Guaranteed for a buy-in of $22 $weeps Cash. According to Global Poker:

“Whatever your level, we have something lined up for you!”

At the weekends, there’s even more on offer - a total of 30 tournaments, starting with a 1:30pm EST event and the big headliner on Sundays: the $7,500 Guaranteed Sunday Gold Coin Challenge.

$weeps cash  fans aren’t being ignored, though, as there is a Daily $500, Weekly $2,500 and finally a $10,000 Monster Challenge tournament based on seen $weeps flops. Known as 'The Weekly 500 Flops Challenge', it requires players to see 500 flops in SC$ ring games to enter instead of putting up a buy-in. For ring-game grinders it’s a win-win scenario.

It wouldn’t be stretching the truth to say that Global Poker’s innovative approach to the online game has taken the US poker market by storm, the site’s plans based on a sweepstakes method of operation which allows players in the states to finally enjoy their favourite game.

I have previously mentioned the popularity of their ‘run it up’ challenges, turning $2 into something like $1000 is much more fun when your initial stake is given to you for free when you sign up, the streamers proving it’s a really good sweat which might inspire you to take up the challenge yourself.

If you have any questions about Global Poker it’s useful to know that they have recently updated their FAQ page but in the meantime here’s the basics of how their clever system operates…

Here’s how it works

You can play with two currencies, Gold Coins and $weeps Cash.

• When you buy Gold Coins we give you bonus $weeps Cash free of charge.
• Gold Coins let you play for fun, but switch to $weeps Cash and you can play for real money.
• Cash out your winnings using PayPal

So, 10% added to an already whopping set of guarantees – it’s impossible to argue with that kind of offer – and if you decide to stream your own efforts at taking down the overlays let us know here at PokerTube!
