Challenges in large alliances. You can earn money in applications not only by playing well: the owners of alliances hold promotions with prizes that are not inferior to large rooms.
For example, in July, two challenges were launched in the Whale Pond PPP alliance:
- The first player to play 5,000 hands of NLH at stakes 1/2 to 5/10 will receive AUD$7,500
- The first player to play 25,000 hands in any discipline at limits 5/10 and higher will receive a Rolex worth 30,000 or 25,000 to their account.
GT+ monitors all alliances and marks active challenges in one table. Detailed information about each of them can be requested from support.
From Alliances to Small Clubs. Good PLO/PLO5 play is increasingly moving from the big alliances to private clubs. Here are a few new places to recommend:
In the private American club Omaha Maniacs, they play PLO and PLO5 at limits 1/2 and 2/4 with an ante. VPIP limit 30% + call time 45min. Peak traffic — around lunchtime and afternoon EST time. Return 45+5%.
In the new Russian alliance FLESH$, PLO5, and PLO6 are actively played at the limits of 0.5/1 and 1/2. The situation is gathering a game at low limits. The peak of traffic is afternoon in EST timezones. Access through the Snatch club, return 50+5%.
The Brazilian union HeadsUP Members have moved to the Suprema app. They play mostly heads-ups, there is traffic up to high limits. Unlike the main Suprema alliance, it is allowed to use H2N. The rake has also been reduced in the new app:
- 1/2 – 50/100 3%, 3bb
- 100/200 3% 2bb
- 200/400 5% 1bb
- 250/500 5% 1bb
Rakeback 55+5%.
Tournaments in the X-Poker App. The major Galaxy union has launched a large daily tournament grid with decent guarantees.
We offer access to the union through the Nebula Club, we return 55+5% of the commission.

Exclusive Rake Race at Ton Poker
The increasingly popular crypto-room Ton Poker will hold a $2,000 rake race exclusively for GipsyTeam players.
To participate, you only need a telegram account and registration in the room from our site. Start on July 8th.
| Place | Prize |
|---|---|
| 1 | 600 |
| 2 | 400 |
| 3 | 300 |
| 4 | 200 |
| 5 | 160 |
| 6 | 120 |
| 7 | 80 |
| 8 | 60 |
| 9 | 40 |
| 10 | 40 |
We will update the results daily in the promotions section.
The room gathers games up to NL200 daily, periodically up to NLK. The rake is high, but you can return 30%, and the lineups will pleasantly surprise and remind you of the first years of mobile applications – due to the ease of installation, there are many weak fans.
The room's developers announced a partnership with TylerRM – one of the students of his anti-bot course will regularly help the security service ensure fair play:
The impressions from the communication with the room director are good. I want to assign them a smart security officer who knows how to work and understands poker strategies.
I would, of course, like to see at least one room that would open-source the game history, as currently no online room does, although Triton (offline series) does. This would solve any problems with trust between players and the platform and would put up big obstacles for any fraud at the tables. So I am in favor of open game history in communication with any rooms, sooner or later someone will take the risk and we will support this movement.
