The Best Online Poker Room Promotions in September 2024

Series, missions, leaderboards, bonuses — every month, we collect information about all the promotions available in different online poker rooms in one article, and right now, it’s about time we discussed September.

Based on what we saw, it doesn’t matter if you’re a fan of GGPoker or WPT Global, there is something for everyone!

WPT Global: $8,5M GTD Fall Festival

We’ve been hyping and discussing the WPT Global Summer Festival for long enough. So, as the first autumn leaves hit the ground, it’s high time we turned our attention to the WPT Global Fall Festival,

As you may have already heard, the series will run from September 8th to September 30th. The main events, better known as Days 2 start:

Main EventGTDDate
$3,500 WPT Championship$1MSeptember 30th
$1,060 WPT Prime$750KSeptember 22nd
$220 Fall Festival Championship$500KSeptember 30th
$530 WPT500$400KSeptember 15th
$22 Festival Mini-Championship$150KSeptember 28th

If players manage to reach Day 2 in all five tournaments above, they’ll not only be extremely skilled but will receive $3,500 in tickets for the next WPT Online series.

Apart from WPT Global’s regular festival programming, the fan-favorite Mystery Bounty format will be making its debut at this year’s Fall Festival. The Sunday Slam tournament trio will be players as Mystery Bounties during the Fall Festival. Additional Mystery Bounties include: 

EventGTD
$110 NLH$40K
$55 Lucky$30K
$110 NLH$27,5K

Players who participate in more than 30 tournaments in this Fall Festival will have a chance to qualify for the $50K Freeroll, taking place on October 6th. Depending on the number of tournaments played and the total buy-ins, players will receive different starting stacks:

LevelPrize
Bronze5,000 chips for 30-59 entries or $500 in buy-ins
Silver10,000 chips for 60-99 entries or $2,000 in buy-ins
Gold15,000 chips for 100 entries or $5,000 in buy-ins

Additional chips can be earned by playing PLO and 5-card PLO cash games at $0.10/$0.20 and higher. For every 100 hands played, you receive 200 chips (maximum 15,000).

Going into the tournament, the goal would obviously be to win. However, players who manage to win at least four WPT Fall events will receive a $12,400 WPT Passport for the live WPT series. If you’re ever so lucky to take down five tournaments during the festival, you’ll also receive an additional $5,000 in tickets; for six wins, WPT Global will add another $5,000.WPT Global also continues to host numerous leaderboards for Global Spins, PLO Cash, NLHE Cash, and MTT.

GGPoker: WSOP Online and $10M GTD Regular Promotions

As you probably know by now, the WSOP Online is in full swing and running through September 30th. While the tournament has already given out a few bracelets, there’s still something to fight for. Check out the GGPoker website for the remaining WSOP Online bracelet events. 

Apart from the WSOP Online, which is relatively hard to miss, GGPoker is also cooking up some novel September promotions, with the total giveaway for this month still valued at 10 million.

While most monthly promotions remain the same, the Mystery Battle Royale promotion prize pool has increased by $5,000 this month due to a new $25 buy-in being added to the lobby.

For a full list of all the games available at GGPoker this September, check out the table below:

GamePrize pool per dayPoint System
Flip&Go$5K1 point* = 1 buy-in 
Spin&Gold$50KPoints 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).

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.

The general rules for each leaderboard have remained roughly the same, as you can see:

  • 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 leaderboards was collected in one table. For details of prize distribution, look at the client in the tab with the certain discipline.
