Olive Branch Initiative
Published September 19, 2025

At GGPoker, we maintain a zero-tolerance stance against activities violating our Security and Ecology Policy. Our unwavering commitment to protecting our community has resulted in the permanent removal of violators from our network. We stand by this approach because fair play is fundamental to everything we do.
However, just as the poker industry grows and matures, we recognize that people can also change. Players who once contributed unsportsmanlike behavior may have since evolved, learned from their mistakes, and developed a genuine commitment to fair play.
In this spirit of growth and second chances, we are announcing the Olive Branch Initiative. This carefully structured initiative offers a reinstatement path for players previously banned from the GGPoker Network and a secondary review for players who feel wrongly accused.
A Commitment to Fair Evaluation
The Olive Branch Program reflects our belief that redemption is possible when genuine change occurs. We understand circumstances can be complex, and sometimes, players deserve the opportunity to demonstrate their growth.
Every application will be thoroughly reviewed to ensure reinstated players contribute positively to our poker community.
How to Apply
If you believe you deserve a second chance or feel your ban was issued in error:
Send an email from your banned account’s registered address to security@ggnetwork.com with the subject line ‘Olive Branch Application’.
Your application must include the following information:
- Your GGPoker Network account nickname
- Your full name
- A detailed explanation of why you’re requesting reinstatement review
- Recent Proof of Identity (POI), Proof of Address (POA), and a selfie holding your POI
Important Program Timeline
Application Deadline: October 1, 2025
Review Process: Applications are reviewed individually and in the order received.
Notification of Outcome: All applicants will be notified of the outcome by November 1, 2025.
Our Continued Commitment
The Olive Branch Program doesn’t change GGPoker’s fundamental commitment to maintaining the highest standards of fair play and security. We’ll continue enforcing our Security and Ecology Policy with the same rigor that makes GGPoker trusted worldwide.
Reinstatement is not guaranteed. Each application will be evaluated based on the circumstances of the original violation, the time passed, and the applicant’s demonstration of genuine change.
The Olive Branch Program represents our belief that while we must protect our community, we should remain open to redemption when it is genuinely warranted.
At GGPoker, we remain committed to providing everyone with a secure, fair, and enjoyable poker experience.
