GGPoker has launched a $17 million prize pool for May 2026, featuring $12.1 million in daily leaderboards. The month includes the $250 million GG World Festival, GGCare rewards, and the Ocean Rewards system, which offers players up to 80 percent cashback.

GGPoker has officially detailed its promotional lineup for May 2026, revealing a total prize pool of $17,000,000 in monthly rewards.

The comprehensive giveaway combines daily leaderboards across multiple poker disciplines with the highly anticipated GG World Festival tournament series.

This initiative is designed to provide consistent value to the player base through a combination of game specific rankings and structured loyalty incentives.

Daily Leaderboard Promotion

A primary component of the May rewards structure is the $12.1 million allocated to Daily Leaderboards.

The Rush and Cash format carries the highest daily prize pool at $30,000, which equates to $930,000 over the course of the month.

Standard Hold’em and Omaha players will compete for $25,000 in daily prizes each, resulting in monthly totals of $775,000 for each respective format.

Additional daily rewards include:

All-In or Fold: $25,000 per day
Spin and Gold: $20,000 per day
Mystery Battle Royale: $10,000 per day
Short Deck: $5,000 per day
Flip and Go: $5,000 per day

Prizes earned through these leaderboards are generally distributed in Cash Game Dollars or Tournament Dollars.

These rewards are typically processed within 24 hours of the daily reset, which occurs at 00:00 Pacific Time.

The May schedule is heavily influenced by the GG World Festival, which runs from May 3 through June 9. The series offers $250 million in total guarantees across four buy-in tiers: Low, Medium, High, and Super.

Notable highlights of the festival include a $10 million guaranteed World Championship and several Mystery Bounty events featuring guarantees of more than $1 million.

GGPoker also continues its #ThanksGG initiative via the GGCare and GGCheers programs.

These features provide a $100,000 Daily Flipout for players encountering significant bad beats or notable wins, totaling $3.1 million in monthly value.

Furthermore, the Honeymoon for Newcomers promotion allows new users to earn up to $350 by completing missions during their first 30 days, while the Daily Freebie rewards regular logins.

The platform utilizes the Ocean Rewards loyalty system to support its ecosystem. Under this structure, players can earn up to 80 percent cashback by accumulating Tide Points and utilizing GEM multipliers.

For every dollar in rake generated, players receive 100 Tide Points. Once a player achieves a specific status tier, that rank remains locked through the following year.
