Global Poker Introduces 30% Ring Game Giveback Program The Vault

Chad Holloway

Global Poker users are about to get a lot more value for their play as the site recently announced the launch of The Vault, a new 30% giveback program for ring game and surge players on Global Poker.

The Vault is essentially a loyalty bonus feature "awarded to ring game and surge players every time they play a Qualifying Hand," according to a Global Poker press release.

There's more to come with The Vault and the value it gives to players on the social poker site, but for now here's what you can expect from the new loyalty bonus feature.

As PokerNews has highlighted elsewhere, ring games are a primary draw of Global Poker, a site that uses Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins to provide players with a legal option to play online social poker.

The Vault is about to make these ring games all the more worth playing as they will offer up 30% in giveback. Qualifying for Global Poker Vault Bonus is as simple as playing in a ring game or surge game. For every Qualifying Hand played in one of these games, a Gold Coin and Sweeps Coin Vault Bonus will be added to The Vault on the player's profile.

There are separate Vaults for each mode of play and each have to be claimed individually. There is also a way to track your transaction history, and all Vault transactions will show up there.

Players on Global Poker don't have to do a thing, other than play! No sign ups or hoop jumping required (providing the player's account is fully verified). Global Poker will automatically assign the accrued Vault Bonus to The Vault during play. The Vault will be there waiting and available to claim and play at any time.

Two More Winners on Day 5 in PokerNews Cup

Jon Sofen

The excitement in the Global Poker x PokerNews Cup continued on Friday with two new tournaments that resulted in two new winners.

Both champions will automatically be entered in the PokerNews Cup finals in a couple weeks. That is the case for all the qualifying round winners. Those who finish in 2nd to 8th place receive a spot in the semifinals, and the remainder of the top 50 in each tournament advance to the quarterfinals where they can attempt to work their way up to the finals.

Alright, let's get to the goods, starting with PokerNews Cup Qualifier 05 — GC 11,000 NLH Bounty (8-Max) with GC 4,000,000 guaranteed. When all was said and done, "TBrick" was the only player out of 371 original entrants still standing. This player, on top of earning a spot in the finals, received GC 655,310.

There were others who earned some Gold Coins, including the runner-up "Lad23der" (Robbie Moore), who tweeted about being "so close." Still, he advances to the semifinals automatically and earned GC 480,265. "Neptune" took 3rd place for GC 348,090, while "ENYguitar" busted in 4th place for GC 278,640.

Over on the Sweeps Coins side, Friday's tournament was PokerNews Cup Qualifier 05 — SC 11 NLH Bounty (8-Max), which had an SC 10,000 guarantee.

There were an incredible 2,509 entrants chasing a spot in the finals and some great prizes. But none of them could outlast "Lsutigerfan225," who earned SC 3,187.35 for the impressive performance. It's never easy weeding your way through such a massive field, so a hat tip to this fan of the LSU Tigers. Geaux Tigers, champ.

One spot shy of getting all the glory was "Jabrony50," who earned SC 2,384.50 as a consolation prize. In 3rd place was "Sgt.Suckout" who may or may not have sucked out a few times to claim the SC 1,768.27 prize. And in 4th place for SC 1,214.25 was "RUeTaMa."

Here’s a look at what’s coming up later today:

Day	Date	Time (ET)	Event	(GC or SC)
Thu	Apr 15	20:30	PokerNews Cup Qualifier 06 - GC 4,000,000 NLH Super Deep (6-Max)	11,000
Thu	Apr 15	20:30	PokerNews Cup Qualifier 06 - SC 10,000 NLH Super Deep (6-Max)	11
