GGPoker is wasting no time making 2026 one of its biggest years yet. With the Winter Giveaway Series in full swing, a January packed with bonus-heavy promotions, GGPoker Million$ Week dominating the headlines, and the new Ocean Rewards system about to launch, the schedule is already stacked. And yet, the online poker giant is still finding room to raise the bar.

Built around the mantra “One Dream. One Shot. One Champion,” this series is a tribute to pure tournament poker. No rebuys. No add-ons. No second chances. Every decision matters, and every stack tells a story.
At the heart of the celebration sits the flagship GGMasters 6th Anniversary Main Event, which carries a staggering $10 million guarantee while keeping its familiar $150 buy-in. It is a remarkable milestone for a tournament that started life six years ago with a $300,000 guarantee and quickly became one of the most popular weekly freezeouts in online poker.
The appeal has always been simple. GGMasters offers something increasingly rare online: a true freezeout structure paired with deep stacks, strong blind levels, and a field fueled by an enormous satellite ecosystem. That formula has proven durable, and the anniversary edition takes it to another level entirely.
The $10 million guaranteed GGMasters kicks off on February 1 at 12:00 GMT, followed by additional Day 1 flights later that day at 17:00 and 22:00 GMT. A second set of three flights runs on February 8 at the same times, before a final last-chance Day 1 on February 9 at 13:00 GMT.
Each Day 1 flight plays down to either the end of Level 25 or until approximately 10 percent of the field remains. While each flight itself is a freezeout, players are free to enter multiple starting days if they choose. Those who qualify more than once will carry their best stack forward into Day 2, which begins at 17:00 GMT on February 9.
Day 2 continues until the final table is set, with the remaining players returning on February 10 to play down to a champion. With a buy-in breakdown of $138 plus $12 in fees, GGPoker would need over 72,000 entries to avoid an overlay, making this one of the most ambitious guarantees ever attached to a freezeout event.
Satellites running from as low as $2 are available around the clock, ensuring that players of all bankroll sizes have a realistic path into the headline tournament.
The anniversary celebration goes far beyond a single event. From January 25 to February 9, GGPoker’s lobby will be packed with GGMasters-branded tournaments running daily at buy-ins ranging from $25 all the way up to $1,050. Across the schedule, guarantees are boosted for the duration of the series, adding extra value for both regular grinders and recreational players looking to take a shot.
Among the highlights is a $25 GGMasters Bounty Warm-Up Special featuring a $150,000 guarantee, alongside multiple higher buy-in freezeout events designed to appeal to experienced tournament players who thrive without safety nets.
To further sweeten the series, GGPoker is also running a $250,000 GGMasters Ticket Drop promotion. Players competing in eligible GGMasters events throughout the festival have a chance to receive free tickets valued at $25, $108, $150, $320, or even $1,050. It’s another layer of added value that rewards volume and keeps players engaged across the entire schedule.
