What does Global Poker offer?
Our sister site, PlayColorado, spoke with Global Poker general manager David Lyons earlier this month regarding what his company offers.
“Global poker provides a social poker experience similar to many other social gaming experiences out there,” Lyons said. “We have an added twist, a unique twist, which is that players can actually win prizes.”
Global Poker uses a “sweepstakes” model, not a “real money” model, making it legal to operate online not only in Colorado, but throughout the entire country.
Is Global Poker legal in New York?
Yes, Global Poker is legal in the Empire State. In fact, Global Poker is legal throughout the United States.
Because Global Poker uses a “sweepstakes” model instead of a “real money” model, they are allowed to operate online in the US. The way it works is when you make a deposit your money goes toward Gold Coins. Equivalent to the Gold Coins is a currency known as Sweeps Coins. Sweeps Coins are available for free after users purchase Gold Coins.
