To create a video (15-second maximum), simply click that button and start recording. Players who feel they’ve been harassed or witnessed abusive and racist content can email to complain.Įach player has a SnapCam button next to their avatar. Much like traditional online poker chat, GGPoker can ban the SnapCam feature from those who abuse the privilege. “The broadcast of offensive content, such as racist or sexist content or images, is not permitted, nor can players use SnapCam to harass others,” the poker site wrote. GGPoker, per its terms and conditions, won’t tolerate abusive behavior via SnapCam. You can even block certain players - or everyone - it’s your choice. If you don’t want to see your opponent’s reaction to you hitting a gut-shot on the river, you can mute the feature.

If more than four players attempt to send videos at the same time, they will be held in a queue and revealed a few seconds later. SnapCam allows four players at a time to send 15-minute videos during play, and everyone at the table can view them. Or, better yet, congratulate them for winning a hand. Players often send short messages such as “gg” (good game), “nh” (nice hand), “gl” (good luck), or after some fish sucks out on the river with 7-2, “u r the biggest donkey ever, i hope u end up homeless and starve to death.”īut now, at least on GGPoker, players have more creative ways to insult their opponents. Since the beginning of the century when internet poker first launched, communication between players has been limited to a generic text chat box. SnapCam is essentially a revolutionary way for online poker players to communicate with each other. The growing poker site anticipates rolling out a Mac version in the coming weeks. The new feature is now available, but only for PC users, and isn’t available yet for mobile app and Mac users. GGPoker is taking a risk with its new SnapCam feature.
