What is Global Poker and how does it work?

Global Poker is an online poker room that offers players across the United States and Canada the opportunity to play poker games virtually. It operates using a dual currency system, consisting of 'Gold Coins' for play money games and 'Sweeps Coins' which can be used for sweepstakes entries and redeemed for cash prizes. Players receive Gold Coins as part of their purchase and as bonuses, while Sweeps Coins are typically awarded as free bonuses alongside Gold Coin purchases or through social media promotions and mail-in offers. The platform offers a range of poker variants, including Texas Hold'em, Omaha, and other popular formats. Players have the flexibility to join ring games, tournaments, or Sit'n'Go events with varying stakes. Global Poker's sweepstakes model allows it to offer these services legally to players in most US states and Canadian provinces under sweepstakes law, distinguishing it from conventional real-money poker sites.
