It's going to be an action-packed spring at the virtual tables on GGPoker. Whether you're a tournament player or a cash game grinder (or a mix of both), there's never been a better time to jump in on the action.

As a complement to the upcoming $300M GTD GG World Festival – a massive tournament series that boasts the biggest ever series guarantee in online poker history – the site has announced plans for the GG Cash Game Festival. From May 4 to June 7, the cash game tables on GGPoker will be divided into three tiers (Low, Medium, and High) and each hand dealt will see players accumulate leaderboard points. 

The GG World Festival 2026 starts on May 3. The GG World Festival starts on May 3 – and the GG Cash Game Festival kicks off the very next day.

Big leaderboard payouts

GGPoker will award a total of $1.25M in leaderboard prizes across the five-week competition – $250K per week – via the tiered GG Cash Game Festival Weekly Leaderboards. Each Monday, the top finishers in each leaderboard will bank a slice of the added prizes. 

The Low Tier boasts $100,000 in total added prizes, with $20,000 up for grabs each week. 

The Medium Tier offers $350,000 in total added prizes, with $70,000 there for the taking each week.
