GGPoker offers olive branch to banned players

 

GGPoker Olive Branch

Players that have been banned from GGPoker can now apply for the "Olive Branch", by emailing security@ggnetwork.com with their full name, GGPoker screen name, proof of identity, date, and reason for the ban. The idea is to give banned players a second chance if they are not considered heavy cheaters.

While this appears strange on paper, especially for a body designed to combat cheating, it appears that this was done to offer gamers who had been banned for reasonably honest mistakes a second chance.

And what counts as heavy cheating?

"Frequent use of sophisticated RTA (ie: post-flop solves, icm libraries, dynamic pre-flop situations), severe collusion (ie: card sharing, chip dumping), botting, multi-accounting, trespassing after being banned", according to Jason Koon, head of the Poker Integrity Council (PIC).

For employing Real Time Assistance in 2020, 40 accounts were famously banned by GGPoker (RTA). The use of preflop charts, which are permitted on other sites, led to the ban of some of these players, it turns out. Jason Koon said that certain accounts were reinstated, for this reason, noting that serious offenses like collusion and RTA will still be punished.

"On July 5th we mentioned this. Players are welcome to apply for review, (this does not mean all applications will be accepted). Many players have been banned for 2+ years for infractions like extensive preflop charts, that don’t deserve life. Heavy cheaters are gone for good.", he added.

We hope that this contributes to a fair and honest gaming environment.
