$14K Weekly MTT Leaderboards

The $14K Weekly MTT Leaderboards is fairly simple: play tournaments, get ITM and receive points.

GGPoker: $50M GTD Bounty Hunters Series

The Bounty Hunters Series is probably one of the most pivotal events at GGPoker. Its summer edition will be running from July 7th to July 29th.

The biggest events of the series are:

• $109 Mystery Bounty Main Event $4M GTD — featuring 10x $100K Mystery Bounties
• $25 Mystery Bounty Mini Main $2M GTD
• $50 Global MILLION$ Bounty Edition $1M GTD  

An additional $40K will be awarded daily on the leaderboard among the players who scored the most knockouts.

$1M GTD Go for Gold Promotion

GGPoker has a few more promotions up its sleeve than just the Bounty Hunters Series. For one, there’s the Spin&Gold promotion.

Each Spin&Gold player receives a card with five stamps that correspond to multipliers:

• For 3-max: x2, x3, x4, x5, x10
• For 6-max: x4, x6, x8, x10, x20

The 3-max multipliers correspond to the 6-max Spin&Gold multipliers. For example, if you collected stamps x2, x3, x4 in 3-max and x10, x20 in 6-max, the card is considered completed and the prize is activated.

The idea is to play Spin&Gold and collect stamps along the way. Getting 5 stamps could mean winning a prize up to $10K.

The promotion will run either until July 31st or until the entire prize fund is won.

$10M July Giveaway for Regular Leaderboards

Apart from the two promotions above, GGPoker also has its own leaderboards at play and in July, it’s giving away $10 million in prizes.

There are a few general rules for each leaderboard:

• The scoring period is from 08:00 UTC to 07:59 UTC the next day.
• Every day from 06:00 to 08:00 UTC “happy hour”: points are multiplied by x1.5.

Information about all the leaderboards has been collected in one table. For details on prize distribution, please refer to the GGPoker client.

The GGPoker Leaderboard table can be found below:

Game	Daily Prize Pool	Point System
Flip&Go	$5K	1 point* = 1 buy-in
Spin&Gold	$50K	Points are awarded depending on the place taken in the tournament and the size of the buy-in.**
AoF	$20K	1 point for every all-in with showdown at a table with 3+ active players (not in a sit out).
Cash Holdem	$30K	Different points for a raked hand depending on the limit
Cash Omaha	$40K	Different points for a raked hand depending on the limit
Cash Short Deck	$10K	Different points for a raked hand depending on the limit
Rush&Cash	$50K	1 point – fold3 points – call5 points – bet/raise10 points – cash drop(maximum 20 points per hand)
Mystery Battle Royale	$10K	Points are awarded for actions in the first stage (Rush): 1 point – fold 3 points – call 5 points – bet/raise

*The multiplier is taken into account: x2 for straight and flush, x3 for set and x4 for straight flush. For example, if you put in five buy-ins into Flip Stage A and hit trips or a set, you will receive: 5 buy-in points + bonus points (5×3) = 20 points. You can get a maximum of 25 points at the end of each Flip Stage.
