Posted on: April 24, 2025 07:38 PDT

The upcoming GG World Festival at GGPoker, online from May 4 to June 10, will match last year’s guaranteed prize pool of $250 million.

The series features events at four different buy-in levels, aiming to cater to everyone from the microstakes to the nosebleeds, with thousands of tournaments taking place across the five weeks of the festival.

$3 million in prizes has been set aside for those who climb the GG World Festival Leaderboard, which will reward success at all four buy-in levels (each of which features 400 events):

Low ($3+ buy-in) - $300K in leaderboard prizes
Medium ($26+ buy-in) - $700K in leaderboard prizes
High ($151+ buy-in) - $1M in leaderboard prizes
Super High ($1,551+ buy-in) - $1M in leaderboard prizes

The $250M guarantee matches that of the 2024 GG World Festival.

Three separate events with $10M guarantees

There are three two-day events on the schedule with eight-figure guarantees, with each of the following offering prize money of at least $10,000,000.

The $525 Global Mystery Bounty event will begin on May 19.
The festival’s flagship main event, the $1,500 GG World Championship, will run from May 26.
The $10,300 GGMillion$ Super Main Event begins on June 2.

“The GG World Festival is not just another tournament series,” says GGPoker ambassador Daniel Negreanu, announcing the festival, “This is where legends are made.”

Not to mention fortunes. With some of the biggest guarantees in online poker, we’re looking forward to seeing many of the titans of online poker turn out for a shot at big money when the series kicks off on May 4.
