GGPoker Extends Olive Branch to Banned Players, but with Conditions

GGPoker has made a surprising announcement that has sent shockwaves through the online poker community. The platform has decided to allow previously banned players to return, but with certain conditions. The decision comes as part of the launch of their much-vaunted Poker Integrity Council (PIC), which will oversee the process and review suspicious behaviour at the online tables.

The announcement specifies that those who have spent time away from the tables for game integrity reasons should eventually be allowed to start over with a clean slate, apart from the most severe cases. This olive branch is extended to previously banned high-stakes cash game and tournament players on the GGPoker Network through Aug 15, 2022.

High-profile players like Ali Imsirovic and Jake Schindler were banned in late 2020, believed to be for RTA-use. However, Bryn Kenney, who many thought had also been banned by GGPoker, is apparently free to play, showing up in the final table of the PokerMillion$ last week and bagging second spot.
