Do you have this impression?

Ah, the "lobby"—you have to keep clicking and clicking until you finally reach the section you’re looking for. You’ve actually just proven my point. Look, I’m not calling you naive, but many people fail to see the obvious; just like in a physical store or a shopping mall, they place items that are easy to buy quickly—often on impulse—right near the entrance. That’s marketing. It’s well within their rights. It’s up to the individual whether or not to consume those things.

Actually, my comment proved nothing of the sort.
I've played for many years. When I first started in 2007 it took me a week or so to figure out what games I even wanted to play in but when I did it was easy to navigate the sites.
Today when I log in, it takes me directly to what I want. There's no extra special fancy colored game sitting in the window that is tempting me to play.
Site's open up just as I'd left them. Super easy.

Look at the initial menu that pops up—it’s still labeled "Poker." You’ve got "All-in or Fold," "Spin," "Mystery Battle," and so on—all of them highly addictive, enticing games that are easy to jump into, finish, and start again. A significant portion of the company’s profit comes from these fast-paced games. As you can see, if you want to find the tournaments, you have to go looking for them yourself—clicking around and navigating—but the things they present to you right off the bat, without you even asking, are primarily these addictive, enticing games—just as you helped me show by taking that screenshot. Thanks for the help.

I still do not get your point. Except of some promos, for 99,9% I use it to play 2 games: Hold'em or tournaments. When I want to play Holdem - I click Holdem (1 click) then I choose my stakes, tables etc. When I want to play tournaments, I click tournaments (1 click) - and go on choosing tourneys I am interested in. Both pretty easy accesible. You have a problem with poker room showing all their games in the menu? Should they hide some options and make them harder to access? But if someone likes Battle Royale or Spin or... just does not play poker but Casino Games - wouldn't they complain if they were harder to access?

GG Poker opens by immediately showcasing games like Spin & Go, Mystery, All-in or Fold—all that junk. If that’s the kind of stuff you like to play most often, then fine.
 
Stars opens at where I left off. GG opens with their main page so I can go to whatever game I want.

Mário, I know you’re a sharp, intelligent guy who takes poker truly seriously. With your background and discipline, the lobby doesn’t even matter—you log in, know exactly what you’re going to play, and completely ignore the "shop window."

The point isn’t you, though. The problem lies with the average person—the recreational player who logs on looking for a quick distraction and ends up falling into the trap of an infinite loop, like in *Spin & Gold* or *All-in or Fold* games, where their bankroll melts away in minutes. For those who study the game and treat it as a sport or a profession, the site is just a tool; but for the masses, the interface is designed entirely to trigger impulse.

It is the same for me. As you can see, junks like spin and go, mistery, all in and fold are in the Home.

Those are only the game tabs my friend. You still need to click them to reach the game. Its not a lot different than on other sites.

I know u have the same interface, it was a joke 😉
 
I like to know where the Spin & Gold tab is when I'm wanting to play a few of those. They aren't my 'go to' game because I don't think they're particularly +ev to play due to rake & blind structure (15bb starting stack even for the micros isn't my style... I would much prefer to play 25bb starting stack like the ones on Partypoker (which I do play once in awhile).

These are the first options the site offers for people to play. They’re right there on the main page. Done. Case closed. Now go do something more useful with your life.

It depends on what you are comparing them to. If you compare them to online cash games, that would be an invalid comparison. Live games are a completely different form of poker—without exaggeration, one could even say it is a different game altogether.

BTW I do not think Spin, Mystery etc are more profitable for poker room than regular Hold'em. AoF seems to be the only one with higher rake.

Hold'em is the most popular, the most profitable game for poker room. So dragging people to something else instead seems to be counter productive profit-wise 😉

No, of course—they give you daily freebies to play these games (spin, mystery) just because they like you.

"Multiple" (Two guys with no plans on a Saturday night, on a forum). Honestly, if I think differently from these guys, then I’ve got problems.

Do you have much experience in micro-stakes cash games at GG poker? Don't get me wrong - their rake there is absolutely f*ng crazy HUGE. They earn a tone on me. I calculate it, I know it. And they give me these freebies, because they are cheap and I can win close to nothing there.
Anyway, every minute I spend at Spin or Mystery instead of Hold'em is a loss in rake for them.
