GGPoker has launched a $17 million prize pool for May 2026, featuring $12.1 million in daily leaderboards and the $250 million GG World Festival. The promotion includes high-stakes tournament tiers, a $100,000 Daily Flipout, and up to 80 percent cashback.

GGPoker has officially detailed its promotional schedule for May 2026, headlined by a massive $17,000,000 giveaway. This monthly rewards program integrates a comprehensive structure of daily leaderboards with the return of the GG World Festival.

The initiative is designed to provide consistent value across the platform through specialized game rankings, loyalty incentives, and tournament guarantees.

Daily Leaderboard Distributions

The core of the May promotion is the $12.1 million allocated to Daily Leaderboards. These rewards are distributed across various poker formats to cater to a diverse player base. The Rush and Cash format features the highest daily prize pool at $30,000, which amounts to $930,000 over the course of the

month.

Standard Hold’em and Omaha disciplines each offer $25,000 in daily rewards, totaling $775,000 monthly for each category. Additional daily prize pools include $25,000 for All-In or Fold, $20,000 for Spin and Gold, and $10,000 for Mystery Battle Royale.

Short Deck and Flip and Go players can compete for a share of $5,000 in daily prizes. Most leaderboard rewards are credited as Cash Game Dollars or Tournament Dollars within 24 hours of the daily 00:00 Pacific Time reset.

GG World Festival and Tournament Highlights

A major component of the May calendar is the GG World Festival, scheduled to run from May 3 through June 9. The series boasts $250 million in total guarantees organized into four buy-in tiers: Low, Medium, High, and Super.

The festival features a $10 million guaranteed World Championship event. Furthermore, the schedule includes multiple Mystery Bounty tournaments, several of which feature guaranteed prize pools exceeding $1 million.

Loyalty Systems and Player Rewards

GGPoker continues its #ThanksGG initiative via GGCare and GGCheers. These programs trigger a $100,000 Daily Flipout, providing $3.1 million in monthly value to players who encounter notable bad beats or significant wins.

The rewards ecosystem is further supported by the Ocean Rewards loyalty system. Under this structure, players can earn up to 80 percent cashback using Tide Points and GEM multipliers.

Players accumulate 100 Tide Points for every dollar generated in rake, and achieved status tiers remain locked through the following year.

New users are also eligible for the Honeymoon for Newcomers promotion, offering up to $350 in rewards for completing specific missions during their first 30 days. Additionally, a Daily Freebie is available to players for regular logins.
