GGPoker Countries Guide: What Skin Can I Play? (2025 update)
GGPoker has become the most successful project in recent years in online poker. In just a few years, it has managed to turn from an unknown site from Asia into the largest poker network in the world. One of the reasons for this success was the creation of a set of skins for different countries.
GGPoker Network: where to roll?
In 2025, there are probably no online poker players who have not heard of GGPoker. The site began its journey as a small Asian online poker site, and now hosts a global version of the WSOP Online series and attracts dozens of times more players than any of its competitors.
According to Jean-Christophe Antoine (head of GGPoker), one of the secrets of his company is the skillful attraction of regional gaming operators to the network in order to successfully compete with other brands. Thus, GGPoker manages to work in different countries through a network of skins.
Although the network's website does not publish an official list of countries from which it is impossible to register, when creating an account, the player sees all the countries available for the game. Most often, GGPoker prohibits playing from countries with a strict ban on online gambling, with a difficult political situation, where the network does not have a local license.
As a reminder, like all other licensed online poker rooms, GGPoker does not allow minors to play (usually under 18, but in some jurisdictions the age limit may be higher). Also, in order to withdraw their winnings, players must pass verification. In most cases, this is enough to send a copy of your ID and any document confirming your address.
GGPoker restricted countries include:
- Afghanistan
- Armenia
- Australia
- Bosnia and Herzegovina
- Bulgaria
- Colombia
- Cuba
- Curaçao
- Czech Republic
- Denmark
- France
- Iran
- Isle of Man
- Italy
- Moldova
- Mongolia
- Philippines
- Portugal
- South Korea
- Spain
- Sweden
- Switzerland
- Ukraine
- United States of America
- Zimbabwe
On the other hand, the following countries are welcome to GGPoker tables:
- Andorra
- Argentina
- Austria
- Belgium
- Brazil
- Canada
- Croatia
- Germany
- Gibraltar
- Hungary
- Indonesia
- Ireland
- Japan
- Malta
- Mexico
- Monaco
- Norway
- Panama
- Philippines
- Poland
- Romania
- Russia
- Slovakia
- Slovenia
- Thailand
- The Netherlands
- United Arab Emirates
- United Kingdom
- Vietnam
Please note that some countries are available only through unique skins.
GGPoker Europe
After conquering Asia, GGPoker began actively attracting poker fans from Europe. Now, during European prime time, you can see thousands of players with flags of various countries in the region at the poker room tables.
GGPoker has several licenses from European regulators:
- GGPoker Global (Isle of Man )
- GGPoker UK (Gambling Commission)
- GGPoker Gernany (Gemeinsame Glücksspielbehörde der Länder)
- GGPoker Poland (Kahnawake)
- GGPoker Finland (MGA)
- GGPoker Hungary (MGA)
- GGPoker Belgium (Kansspel Commissie)
- GGPoker Netherlands (Kansspelautoriteit)
In the Baltics and Finland, GGPoker is represented by the operator Olybet, from Russia and neighboring countries, access to the network pool can be obtained through PokerOK. Unfortunately, GGPoker does not operate in Spain, as it does not have a DGOJ license.
Each subdomain features translations into the local language (Finnish, Portuguese, Polish, etc.)
GGPoker United Kingdom
NSUS Limited received a full set of licenses from the UK Gambling Commission in 2017-2018. This step was crucial for the global promotion of the network and enhancing its reputation.
Unfortunately for local players, the UKGC has tightened the rules, which causes problems with deposits/withdrawals, especially if there is no regular income outside the game.
The fact that GGPoker is legal in the UK is a big plus for the entire network and speaks to the level of reliability of the brand.
GGNetwork Asia
Even though GGPoker now operates worldwide, Asia remains the most important region for the network.
In addition to the flagship skin, the following poker rooms accept players from individual Asian countries:
- Natural8 (APAC countries: Malaysia, Manila, Singapore, Vietnam)
- GGPuke (India, China)
- 7XL Poker (Israel, Turkey)
- PokerArabia (Lebanon)
- GGPoker Philippines (PAGCOR)
GGPoker USA
GGPoker has very big plans in the US. The purchase of the WSOP brand by NSUS confirms this assumption. For the United Stakes, the company has developed a special club application ClubGG with satellites to the World Series tournaments and received a license as a manufacturer of gaming software in Pennsylvania (the largest state where online poker is legal)
Due to the peculiarities of the gaming legislation in the USA, when poker rooms must obtain licenses in individual states (there are only six of them), one should not expect GGPoker to appear with a global pool on the country's market. This can only happen in the event of global changes in the US legal field.
Experts also believe that it is quite likely that GGPoker will buy the poker room wsop.com, which has a legal pool in four states. If such a deal becomes a reality, wsop.com will not cease to be a reservation, but will be able to switch to more modern software.
GGPoker Latin America
GGPoker's interest in the Latin American gaming market is more than obvious. TeamPro of the poker room includes:
- Felipe "Mojave" Ramos (Brazil)
- Cristian Stival (Argentina)
- Diego Ventura (Peru)
- Michael Acevedo (Costa-Rica)
- Peterson Machado (Brazil)
- Steve Enríquez (Spain)
GGPoker has a website and support service in Spanish and Brazilian languages. All Latin American players can play on the flagship skin - GGPoker. Over time, we will see much more content and promotions aimed at the Latin American market, especially for countries with high player traffic such as Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Uruguay.
Prospects
The GGPoker network is the leader of modern online poker with record numbers of players, prize tournaments and promotions.
In the coming years, in our opinion, the site will focus on expanding its presence in Latin America, the largest countries in Asia (China and India) and individual European countries with a regulated market (Switzerland, Spain, Italy, Poland).
It is also worth expecting some new steps from NSUS in the US market, where several brands are actively developing at once (PokerStars, BetMGM, Draft Kings).
What these steps will be, time will tell.
