How to get free sweeps at Global Poker
Global Poker Tour – An Exciting Freeroll Poker Experience The Global Poker Ranking is an online leaderboard which ranks above 450,000 active poker players across the globe. The GPI poker ranking is updated monthly. The latest tweets from @officialglp.
One of the requirements for a site like Global Poker to remain classified as a sweepstakes site is that it must be possible to play for its prizes without paying anything yourself. While there are several ways that you can get free Sweeps Coins on Global (Gold Coin purchase, social media contests, registration), we wanted to explore the most direct method: mailing a request to Global Poker company headquarters.
This method for acquiring Sweeps Coins comes with exceptionally specific instructions. Global Poker’s Sweeps rules lay out exactly what you need to do. Let us be clear: You must follow these instructions to the letter. If you don’t, your request is voided and you won’t receive any free Sweeps.
To start, use this link to join Global Poker and create a new account.
All requests must be handwritten. If you use a computer to produce your request, it will not work, so you’ll need a pen (or two).

Secondly, you have to have stationery that conforms to specific dimensions. Your request card needs to be 4” x 6”, blank, unlined and unfolded. Global recommends a postcard, but you can either buy the proper cards at an office supply store like Office Depot (what we did), or you can cut paper into the proper size.
You will also need to have No. 10 envelopes on hand to contain your request. You can put only one request in each envelope, so don’t try to pack them into one mailing. Finally, you will need some stamps. Neither Global nor any other sweepstakes site will pay for postage.

Once you have everything together, you’re ready to start the request. As you can see, the elements that Global wants on each card are quite explicit.
On the same side of each card, you will write your full name, your email address and every word of the following statement:
“I wish to receive Sweeps Coins to participate in the sweepstakes promotions offered by Global Poker. By submitting this request, I hereby declare that I have read, understood and agree to be bound by Global Poker’s Terms and Conditions and Sweeps Rules.”
Here’s how we wrote our request. The name and email have been blacked out for privacy reasons.
Please make sure that you only write on one side of the card. If you mark the opposite side, start again.
Once you’ve written your card, you should turn your attention to the envelope. It, too, must be handwritten with both Global Poker’s address and your return address.
Don’t use return labels, even though they would save money. Also, make sure to write the phrase “Sweepstakes Credits” somewhere on the envelope — we wrote it as if it was the person to whom we were sending the request.
Put the request in the envelope, and do not fold it as you do so. The instructions clearly mention that the request must be unfolded. After that, put the stamp on the request, and drop it in a mailbox.
Each successful request will yield 5 free Sweeps Coins into your account. If you want to redeem cash prizes from your account, you will need to verify it, so that’s not a bad thing to do while you’re waiting for the requests to arrive at VGW’s mailing address.
Global Poker player rewards
Global Poker doesn’t offer a VIP rewards program, which is a major shortcoming even by social gaming standards. On the bright side, the site features leaderboards and challenges that award its most active players with free Sweeps Coins. Furthermore, since the guarantees are relatively high, tournaments hosted on Global Poker can be considered a type of promotion.

What Global Poker Is All About
Global Poker is a different poker platform than what most players are used to. They are a social poker site that sells a virtual currency called Gold Coins (GC).
When purchasing Gold Coins, some players may be given free sweepstakes entries by way of Sweeps Coins. Sweeps Coins cannot be purchased and are always available free of charge via one the many alternative methods of entry at Global Poker.
Sweeps Coins (SC) can be exchanged for prizes that include real money.
So don’t forget to keep your diary clear during February as there will be plenty of action going on over at Global Poker with tons of prizes waiting to be won.
