GGPoker is giving away $1.25 million in leaderboard prizes to cash game players over the next five weeks, as GG World Festival opens this Sunday and starts the most exciting tournament series of the summer.
The beginning of May will be an exciting time for cash game and tournament poker players at GGPoker alike, as the operator launches its GG Cash Game Festival alongside the long-anticipated GG World Festival.
Running from May 4 to June 7, the Cash Game Festival will feature $250,000 in extra prizes for cash game players across three tiers, while GG World Festival offers $300 million in guaranteed prize pools across hundreds of poker tournaments.
The newly announced Cash Game Festival will give cash game players plenty of reason to join the mix as of next week, with a total of $1.25 million in leaderboard prizes reserved for them exclusively.
At the same time, the GG World Festival is set to open this Sunday, with a range of exciting tournaments across all buy-in tiers setting the stage for a summer of non-stop tournament action at the world’s biggest online poker site.

Cash Game Leaderboards at All Stakes
The GG Cash Game Festival is a unique five-week event that gives cash game players a chance to experience the thrills of a major poker festival.
Unlike many tournament leaderboards that are reserved for players playing a particular game or stake, the Cash Game Festival is open for all cash game players.
All Texas Hold’em, Pot Limit Omaha, Rush & Cash, All-In or Fold, and Short Deck games at GGPoker will contribute points toward the leaderboards from May 4 to June 7, ensuring every real money poker hand you play counts for something.
Each week, the prize money will be split into three leaderboards, depending on the stakes you play:
- Low Stakes Leaderboard: $0.01/$0.02 – $0.10/$0.25
- Medium Stakes Leaderboard: $0.25/$0.50 – $1/$2
- High Stakes Leaderboard: $2/5+
Players across each tier will have a chance to win daily prizes via usual GG Poker leaderboards, and the weekly Cash Game Festival prizes, with a total prize pool of $800,000 for High Stakes, $350,000 for Medium Stakes, and $100,000 for Low Stakes set to be paid out across the five weeks.
Winning daily prizes doesn’t disqualify you from winning on the weekly leaderboards as well, as all points accumulate throughout the week and make you eligible for maximum rewards.
