Global Poker Overlays in OWC

When it comes to tournament poker, overlays are the sweetest words a player can hear, and Global Poker’s Online World Challenge (OWC) has seen $16,000 of them handed out in their innovative $weepsCash (SC$) in the first 2 weeks of play.

If you don’t know what an overlay is, basically it’s the difference between the guarantee and the actual amount paid by players in an event – so an overlay means you’re playing fewer opponents on your way to the big cash prizes – with SC$300,000 already paid out and 6 weeks of competition still to go at the “fastest growing poker room in the world.”

What is $weeps Cash?

If ‘$weepsCash’ has you shaking your head in confusion, it’s the new currency used by Global Poker which allows you to win real cash prizes from the USA - their sweepstakes-method and PayPal transactions allowing players to purchase a unique virtual currency for their site. In addition to this players are given free $weeps Cash which they can also play with. And $weeps Cash wins can be legally cashed out in the US because they are free!

The weekly 'OWC SC$7,500 Guaranteed Sunday Gold Challenge' saw excellent value for players as it had more than SC$2,500 overlay last weekend - that’s over one-third of the prize pool. If this sounds unusual, it really isn’t – the biggest sites in the world regularly have overlays, and even live events (including WPT and UKIPT) have seen huge overlays in the past.

$1,000,000 guaranteed Online World Challenge

The trick is, of course, to take advantage of them while they last – sooner or later players get wind of such ‘free money’ and then the overlays disappear! But for the time being, Global Poker has massive guarantees across a summer schedule of No Limit Hold’em and Omaha events across every buy-in - from freerolls up to $22, with re-buys, Turbos, Deep Stack and 6-max tournaments all available.

So far, the Daily Rebuy tournaments have been very popular with the SC$5.50 rebuy and the SC$222R1A both regularly boasting prize pools of over SC$5,000 while Global Poker's unique 'flops challenge' tournaments saw some 424 cash-game players enter last week alone, looking to take advantage of the SC$2,500 in added cash prizes. 'The Weekly 500 Flops Challenge' requires players to see 500 flops in SC$ ring games to enter instead of putting up a buy-in.

The Schedule

There are 18 tournaments running every weekday from 5pm until midnight, and for the weekends Global Poker will be “stepping it up even further” - with a total of 32 tournaments on the schedule, starting at 1:30pm EST. The big headliner on Sunday, of course, is that $7,500 Guaranteed Sunday Gold Coin Challenge – perhaps next weekend being the last one with an overlay now that the word is out.

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.
