Deals at Natural8
My deals vary from room to room. Message me on Discord and ask about Natural8 before you register, because an account that already exists cannot normally be changed afterwards. That is the whole reason there is no signup button on this page.
One feature of the network's own rewards is worth understanding before you decide. GGNetwork weights cashback by an internal player value score that it does not publish, and that score puts the players who beat the games below the players who do not. Two accounts generating identical rake can be paid quite differently and neither can find out why.
Worth asking me which GGNetwork brand serves where you live as well, because it is not always this one.
What Natural8's own rewards give you
A tiered cashback ladder built on points earned from rake, climbing through a series of levels with the return rising as you go, plus a large rotation of promotions and festival series. For a recreational player it is a generous scheme and one of the better ones in the market.
For a winning regular it is less generous than the headline suggests, for the reason below.
The games
Natural8 is GGNetwork's Asian-facing brand, running since 2016 under a Curacao licence. It shares the network's player pool, so these are the same games you would find on GGPoker: average traffic in the tens of thousands, rising well past a hundred thousand at peak, with cash games running continuously from micro stakes upward.
The formats are the network's full set. Hold'em, Omaha in four and five-card forms, Short Deck, all-in-or-fold, the fast-fold game, the three-handed hyper-turbo, and a large tournament grid with daily guarantees and regular festival series.
The client is the same well-built GG client, on Windows, macOS, Android and iOS, with its own HUD and hand history tool.
It suits players in Asia and the Asia-Pacific timezones, which is what the brand exists for. It suits anyone who wants GGNetwork traffic and its tournament schedule under this licence. And it suits recreational and mid-stakes players, because a pool this size is soft at the bottom however you enter it.
What to know before you deposit
The player value score is the thing worth knowing, and it is unusual enough to say plainly. Natural8 decides what your rake is worth to it using a formula it does not publish, and winning regulars are scored below recreational players. Two accounts generating identical rake can be paid quite differently and neither can find out why.
The client also asks a lot of an older computer, third-party trackers are blocked outright, and three-bet pots are raked preflop as they are across the network. That last one is worth checking against your own volume if you play a lot of fast-fold.
Natural8 does not accept players from the United States.
Deposits and withdrawals
Cards, Skrill, Neteller, ecoPayz, MuchBetter, Bitcoin and USDT, alongside regional Asian methods including WeChat Pay and AliPay. Minimum deposits start around ten dollars and withdrawal ceilings run into six figures depending on the method.
Identity verification is required before you withdraw. Do it when you open the account rather than at the moment you want the money out. Crypto is the quickest route.
Common questions about Natural8
- What does Natural8's own cashback scheme pay?
- A tiered ladder built on points earned from rake, with the return rising as you climb, alongside a large rotation of promotions. What it pays you specifically is affected by an undisclosed player value score.
- Should I ask about Natural8 before I open an account?
- Yes. Anything to do with Natural8 has to be sorted out before the account exists, which is why this page has no signup button on it.
- What is the difference between Natural8 and GGPoker?
- The player pool and the client are the same, because both are GGNetwork. They differ in licence, in which countries they serve and in promotions. Natural8 is the network's Asian-facing brand. Ask me which one fits where you live and I will tell you straight.
- I already have a Natural8 account. What now?
- Message me anyway and I will tell you what is and is not possible. An existing account usually cannot be changed, but it costs nothing to ask.
- Can I use a HUD or tracker on Natural8?
- No. Third-party trackers, HUDs and data mining are all banned. The client has its own HUD and hand history tool, which is what you work with instead.
