The world’s biggest online poker room and the world’s biggest online series! That’s the breaking news as GGPoker today unveiled the return of the $250million GTD GG World Festival.
Five weeks of non-stop action across all buy-ins are on the menu with thousands of tournaments topped by three $10million GTD flagship events.
Buy-ins for every bankroll
The fun and games kicks off on May 4th and runs through to June 10th, with four buy-in levels available:
Low Tier ($3+ buy-in)
Medium Tier ($26+ buy-in)
High Tier ($151+ buy-in)
Super Tier ($1,051+ buy-in)
That means there are tournaments to suit everyone from the small, stakes grinder or rec all the way up to the highstakes pros and amateurs with deep pockets.
Let’s take a closer look at what’s available with a handy graphic…
$3million in leaderboard prizepools
As you’ll see from that, leaderboard races are a huge part of the iconic GG World Festival and in total there is $3million up for grabs.
The four different races will let you compete in your comfort zone, making the series all the more interesting as nobody will be outpriced or completely out of their depth.
Three $10m GTD Marquee tournaments
It’s rare to see any event with a guaranteed $10,000,000 prizepool but here there will be three such online festival biggies and they won’t all cost you a WSOP Main Event-style buy-in!
The $10m GTD trio run on three successive Sundays and Mondays and first up there is the $525 buy-in Global Mystery Bounty Festival.
Relatively new to the poker scene, Mystery Bounty tournaments mean you don’t know how much is on the head of each player until they are eliminated.
This layer of unpredictability and excitement is for many, many players a thrill that keeps poker fresh with surprises at every turn (flop and river too!)
The following weekend sees the flagship $1,500 buy-in GG World Championship.
This is the centrepiece of the GG World Festival and the tournament that could see you (it will definitely see someone!) crowned as world champion and walk off with a monster payday.
The third tournament in the $10m GTD trio is the $10,300 buy-in GGMillion$ Super Main Event.
This is one for the highrollers or those looking to take a punt at a higher level, described as “the ultimate high-roller showdown with some of the deepest competition in online poker.”
The tl;dr can be seen below:
Sunday/Monday May 19/20 – $525 Global Mystery Bounty Festival – $10M GTD
Sunday/Monday May 25/26 – $1,500 GG World Championship – $10M GTD
Sunday/Monday June 1/2 – $10,300 GGMillion$ Super Main Event – $10M GTD
Where Legends are Made
“The GG World Festival is not just another tournament series – it’s the ultimate celebration of the global poker community,” is Daniel Negreanu’s take on the incredible series.
The GGPoker Global Ambassador ( and most famous name in the game) added: “We’re proud to once again offer players the biggest guarantees in online poker and a festival that truly lives up to its name. This is where legends are made.”
In for the Min for the Win
Of course, no series worth its salt would run without giving players the chance to win their way in on the cheap, and the GG World Festival is no different, with Satellites and Promotions for everyone.
All players can qualify through a wide range of satellites and promotions in the GGPoker client.
Meanwhile, new players can also take advantage of the GGPoker Welcome Bonus and Honeymoon for Newcomers promotion, in addition to earning rewards through GGPoker’s Fish Buffet loyalty program.
All-in-all, the GG World Festival looks set to be not only the world’s biggest online series, but also the best.
