GGPoker began its global expansion in 2014 in Asia, with most of the local players from China. Now you can meet flags of countries from all over the world at the tables. How much of its initial Chinese bias does GGPoker hold in 2024? We will try to find out in this article.

GGPuke – GGPoker Chinese skin

At the dawn of its history, GGNetwork had several skins where Chinese citizens could play, but in 2020 a unique skin was created for them: GGPuke.

The main goal is to create the most convenient access to online games for Chinese customers. The site and the room's client are localized, have a Chinese version, and managers are available via chat around the clock.

You can deposit through local and Union Pay cards at the cashier, but the main focus is USDT.

GGPuke has an exclusive 100% bonus of up to ¥8,888 on the first deposit in USDT.

It can be wagered for a maximum of 90 days, released at a ¥10 rate for every ¥50 rake (20% rakeback). You can make additional deposits within 60 days to get the maximum bonus.

Tournament players can win tickets to events taking place on live series in Asia. In all other respects, GGPuke is utterly similar to GG Poker.

GGPoker games for players from Asia

GGPoker China has games specially designed to attract poker fans from China.

  • Chinese Zodiac. A series of 29 daily tournaments with buy-ins in Chinese yuan (CNY ¥10 - ¥2,022) and guarantees from ¥250 to ¥250,000. MTT winners receive avatars of different zodiac animals. The one who can collect the total 12 prizes will receive an avatar of a white tiger.
  • 9-max tables with ante with random cash drops, a pretty similar format to the games hosted in Chinese mobile rooms.
  • Regular Ace Poker League series (formerly Asian Poker League). Most tournaments have buy-ins and guarantees in yuan. The Chinese lucky number 8 is used for the size of the tables, buy-ins, and prize pools.

In addition, exclusive action-packed formats such as Flip&Go, and Battle Royale, with unusual mechanics, are very well suited to Asian players.

Curiously, All-in or Fold and 6+ Hold'em were launched in China. Now the GGPoker Network remains the place with the largest amount of action in these types of poker.

GG Poker Network: ratio of players from different countries

Since the GG Poker Network client displays country flags according to the players' IP addresses, we can check the number of players connect from different regions. To do this, we will first determine which countries can be considered "Asians." It's important to note that the poker approach will be slightly different from the geographical one.

We will consider Asia only Southeast Asian countries: China, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, and others. Other regions will be as follows:

  • Middle East: Israel, Turkey;
  • Europe: Germany, Slovenia, Hungary, United Kingdom;
  • Russia and former USSR (except the Baltic States): Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and Asian republics such Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan;
  • America (Canada, Argentina, Brazil), and Australia.

Conclusion

Players living in Macau or China who want to join the largest pool in modern online poker have only one option. This is to start playing GGPuke.

If they live in another country in the Asia-Pacific region, registration with Natural8 is open for them. For all those who just want to spend time at the tables against Chinese fans, the doors of GGPoker are open.
