Poker is a different redemption problem
In a poker product the prize is the pot, not a slot payout, which means the sweeps balance moves between players rather than out of the house. Verification still gates the cash-out, and the same fourteen-state restricted list applies.
The practical difference for a reader is the record. A poker hand history is generated by the client and can be exported; a slot session usually cannot. That makes a poker dispute easier to document and harder to argue, because the operator can replay the same hands.
What the VGW list does to the poker question
Fourteen excluded states is meaningful in poker because the player pool is the product. Every excluded jurisdiction shrinks the pool, and a smaller pool means fewer tables at the hours a reader actually plays.
That is the trade the group has chosen by staying in more states than its most cautious competitors: a broader map, a thinner pool in the places it remains.

- Which part of the welcome offer is granted without a purchase?
Send them to Global Poker separately, quote the date at the top of this page, and keep the replies. The answers are the only statement tied to your account; this page is the record of what the public document said.
How far this file goes
Global Poker is documented at the one source level, with 1 of six fields filled. The operator is VGW (Virtual Gaming Worlds); the one-line reason this file exists: The only poker-shaped product in the top set, on the same restricted list as Chumba. One source supplied the populated fields. A second independent source, or the operator's own document, is what would move the label.
The field that would move Global Poker's label first is the redemption minimum. A versioned terms document would move it further, because that is the only evidence this site treats as an audit. The comparison table shows how the other files are labelled.
