Winamax New Speed Poker Game Temporarily Withdrawn

By Brian Cullingworth, Last updated Aug 1, 2014

Hopes to bring GO FAST Poker back online shortly

French online poker operator Winamax's launch this week of its fast-fold poker version GO FAST Poker was short lived as the operator pulled the game due to "user-related issues".
GO FAST Poker is the latest of many fast-fold speed poker variants, this one billed as "Poker in top gear", an ultra quick cash game that allows players to utilise an instafold button.
Instafold can be used at anytime unless the player is not required to call a bet to remain in the hand i.e. big blind or when all-in.
Other features provide players the option to continue watching an interesting hand by holding the CTRL key when pressing the fold or instafold button.
GO FAST poker was offering stakes NL2 (€0.01 / €0.02), NL5 (€0.02 / €0.05), NL10 (€0.05 / €0.10), NL20 (€0.10 / €0.20), NL50 (€0.25 / €0.50) at 6-max No Limit Hold'em tables.
The game is bound to prove popular once brought back online which the company says it hopes to do shortly.
The launch of an iOS and Android version of the game is in the pipeline, the company confirmed.

Brian Cullingworth

Infopowa news was a staple of Casinomeister’s news from 2000 until 2019. Brian Cullingworth was the main writer, contributor, and was one of the most knowledgeable persons I have ever known involved in the online casino industry.

We first met in January 2001 at the ICE in London where I observed him going booth to booth interviewing online casino, software, and licensing jurisdiction representatives. Brian was also heavily involved with our forum as “Jetset“, he was involved as an informal consultant to eCOGRA, the OPA, and was a player advocate who assisted countless aggrieved players with his connections to industry folks. He also published “Casino Cautions” via Infopowa news for quite a number of years. These can be found in our news archives.

His passing in February 2019 was a dark day for us. He will be forever missed.
