1. GGMillion$ Week

We are now at the closing stages, with GGMillion$ Week running from September 20 through September 29 as part of the finale.

This is where the schedule becomes considerably more expensive than a regular week at GGPoker.
That does not necessarily mean recreational players have to stay on the sidelines.
GGPoker is offering extensive satellite routes around its flagship tournaments, giving players opportunities to qualify rather than paying the full direct buy in.

Some of the remaining bracelet events illustrate just how high the stakes become during the closing week:
| Date | Event | Buy in | Guarantee |
|---|---|---|---|
| September 24 | WSOP Online #30 High Roller Bounty PLO | $5,000 | Bracelet Event |
| September 26 | WSOP Online #31 Heads Up NLH Championship | $10,000 | Bracelet Event |
| September 27 | WSOP Online #32 The Closer NLH Bounty Turbo | $800 | Bracelet Event |
| September 28 | WSOP Online #33 GGMillion$ High Rollers Day 2 | $10,000 | $10 million |
The GGMillion$ High Rollers is the obvious headline attraction, boasting with a $10 million guarantee. GGPoker also awards the winner a $10,000 WSOP Paradise GGMillion$ ticket.
Our pick: Do not look only at the headline buy-ins. Check the satellite lobby first. GGMillion$ has long been built around step satellites and lower cost qualification routes into its $10,000 events.
2. The $100,000 Saturday Weekly Freeroll
One of the easier GGPoker promotions to overlook is also one of the most straightforward.
Every Saturday at 16:00 UTC, GGPoker runs its $100,000 Weekly Freeroll. There is no normal cash buy-in. Instead, players need a Weekly Freeroll Ticket.
There are several ways to get one.
| Qualification method | Reward |
|---|---|
| Refer a friend who completes the required sign up and verification | 1 Weekly Freeroll Ticket for both players |
| Deposit $500 or more | 1 Weekly Freeroll Ticket |
| Play 1,000 cash game hands | 1 Weekly Freeroll Ticket |
| Qualify through the Daily Freerolls | A route into the Saturday event |
There are also two Daily Freerolls from Sunday through Friday at 10:00 and 22:00 UTC.
Those events award seats into the Saturday Weekly Freeroll.
Those events award seats into the Saturday Weekly Freeroll.
Daily Freeroll tickets can themselves be earned by:
- signing up as a new player,
- making a deposit or
- playing 100 cash game hands.
For players who are already active on the site, the cash hand route is particularly interesting because it turns regular cash game volume into a shot at the weekly $100,000 prize pool.
3. $50,000 Daily Leaderboards
GGPoker is currently running $50,000 daily leaderboards across Hold'em, PLO and Spin & Gold.
Cash game players earn points by playing raked hands, with separate leaderboards across different stakes. The PLO promotion covers PLO, PLO 5 and PLO 6, while Spin & Gold players earn leaderboard points based on buy-in and finishing position.
Spin & Gold is GGPoker's fast lottery style Sit & Go format where a random multiplier determines the prize pool before play begins.
| Game | Daily Leaderboard Prizes |
|---|---|
| Hold'em | $50,000 |
| PLO, PLO 5 and PLO 6 | $50,000 |
| Spin & Gold | $50,000 |
Spin & Gold is GGPoker's fast lottery style Sit & Go format where a random multiplier determines the prize pool before play begins.
All three promotions also include a daily Happy Hour with boosted leaderboard points.
4. GGMasters, Unusual Tournament Format
Re-entry poker has become the norm online.
GGMasters goes in the opposite direction and we love it!
The core concept is freezeout poker. No rebuys and no add-ons. Once your stack is gone, your tournament is over.
The flagship remains the Sunday GGMasters with a $150 buy in and a $1 million guarantee.
Sunday also features two larger GGMasters events:
| Tournament | Start UTC | Buy in | Guarantee |
|---|---|---|---|
| GGMasters High Rollers | 17:00 | $1,050 | $750,000 |
| GGMasters | 17:00 | $150 | $1 million |
| GGMasters $320 | 19:30 | $320 | $400,000 |
The brand is no longer limited to one Sunday tournament either.
From Monday through Saturday, GGPoker runs a selection of $25 GGMasters events including Asia, Double Stack, Classic and several bounty formats. GGPoker currently advertises more than $4 million in total GGMasters guarantees every week!
WSOP Express, Your Road to Live Events
Our final pick is not really a single tournament at all.
WSOP Express is GGPoker's permanent qualification system for major WSOP live events.
The structure contains four main steps and players are free to enter the system at any level.
The three major pass levels are currently:
| Step | Format | Direct Buy in | Main Prize |
|---|---|---|---|
| Step 1 | All In or Fold Sit & Go | $0.50 | Step 2 Ticket |
| Step 2 | Spin & Gold | $2 | Tickets or WSOP Passes |
| Step 3 | Target Stack Turbo | $10 | Step 4 Ticket |
| Step 4 | Regular Tournament | $150 | WSOP Passes and additional prizes |
The three major pass levels are currently:
| Pass | Value | Intended Route |
|---|---|---|
| Ring Pass | $5,000 | WSOP Super Circuit package |
| Bracelet Pass | $10,000 | WSOP Main Event package |
| Super Pass | $30,000 | WSOP Paradise package |
For Circuit players, the Ring Pass is the important one. It can be redeemed for a WSOP Super Circuit package, while GGPoker continues to operate exclusive online qualification campaigns for a number of individual WSOP Circuit stops.
WSOP Express itself operates daily, meaning you do not have to wait for one large weekly satellite to start trying to move through the steps.
It is also worth checking the specific Circuit event you are targeting.
Qualification routes can differ by market.
For example, GGPoker has previously combined WSOP Express with dedicated direct satellites or freerolls in regulated markets such as Ontario.

Which GGPoker Promotion Should You Play This Week?
There is no single answer because the strongest value depends on what you already play.
Tournament players have GGMillion$ Week and the final days of WSOP Online.
Cashgame grinders can chase $50,000 daily Hold'em or PLO leaderboards.
Spin & Gold players have another daily leaderboard running alongside their normal games, while Saturday brings a $100,000 freeroll for qualified players.

For regular tournament players, GGMasters remains particularly interesting simply because freezeouts have become increasingly rare in modern online poker.
And if the goal is eventually to move from online poker to a WSOP live event, WSOP Express provides a qualification ladder starting at just $0.50.
That is our GGPoker shortlist for the week.
Promotions, guarantees, schedules and availability can vary by jurisdiction and are subject to change. Players should check the GGPoker client before registering.
