Currently, GG Poker network ranks third on the PokerScout list and is considered the most profitable network to play considering rakeback, the softness of the field and poker client.
With the addition of local payment methods for Canadian and Brazilian players, the network becomes more interesting for everyone as global players will see an increased traffic and regional players will have access to hundreds of tables and massive MTT series with millions of dollars guaranteed (for example the GG Poker Series 3 which will kick off next month with $50M GTD).

The expansion strategy of GG Poker network includes making alliances with key suppliers on local markets; this includes not only gaming companies but also payment processors that are crucial to the development of the business, as regulated markets always have restrictions to process poker payments.
