About Global Poker

Global Poker is one of the most popular poker sites in the US and Canada, boasting over 1 million players. This gaming platform describes itself as a “social poker site” that provides play-for-fun, freemium poker gaming. No purchase is required to start playing on the site’s wide range of poker games, including Texas Hold’em, Omaha, Bounty Poker, and Crazy Pineapple Poker.

Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins

Players will notice that the GOAT IV tournament prizes are in Gold Coins (GC) and Sweeps Coins (SC). GC are Global Poker’s on-site currency. Players get 5,000 GC for free when signing up, and can then buy more GC with real money to continue playing once those run-out. It’s important to note that GC and GC winnings cannot be exchanged for cash.

Global Poker also awards free Sweeps Coins (SC) through a variety of ways – including with each GC purchase. SC winnings can be exchanged into gift cards and cash. This means the site uses a sweepstakes model to give players the option to earn real money on their poker play.
