How Much Do GG Poker’s Daily Leaderboards Pay in Prizes?

In total that works out at C$1.5m per week in Leaderboard prizes plus $350,000 in Red Envelope Cash Drops.

All of the Leaderboard races at GG Poker have a ‘happy hour’ which is actually two hours of happiness, between 22.00-00.00 every evening, where leaderboard points awarded are multiplied by 1.5 (except for Rush and Cash and Mystery Bounty Battle Royale, where points are multiplied by 2).

Here’s the breakdown of how each leaderboard works and how much can be won.

There are separate daily leaderboards for 6-Max & 9-Max Hold’em cash games. 

The 6-Max Hold’em cash games award a total of $C17,250 per day in prizes, with separate leaderboards for each buy-in level. There are ten separate buy-in levels. 

The bigger the buy-in level, the greater the prizes, as shown in the image below. The “Up To” column references the number of players who are paid each day from each leaderboard.

PLO5: $16,650 per day from 9 different leaderboards, one for each buy-in level, as follows:

Leaderboard points in Omaha Cash Games are awarded in the same way that they are for Hold’em cash games, with one point earned per raked hand. 

Almost C$50,000 is awarded every day via GG Poker’s Spin & Go Daily Leaderboards. There are nine of them in total, one for each buy-in level that Spin & Gold can be played at. The biggest leaderboard is for the $200 buy-in games, where there is $25,000 awarded every day, to the top 20 players.

Players earn points based on their finishing position and the buy-in of the Spin & Gold tournament they are playing. The players who accumulate the most points at each buy-in level receive prizes.

The Leaderboards for Mystery Bounty Battle Royale use a different mechanism to award points. These are known as Action Race leaderboards, as you earn points for every click of a button, with varying points awarded depending on the action taken:

Players can earn up to 20 points per hand.

For Happy Hour, all points earned are doubled.

Mystery Battle Royale is available in four different buy-in levels and there is a leaderboard for each one, with a total of C$10,000 in prizes every day.

The Rush & Cash Leaderboards work in the same way as the Mystery Bounty Battle Royale leaderboards, as Action Races, with points awarded in exactly the same way, for every click of the button.

Players can earn up to 20 points per hand, but players who win cash drop hands are awarded an additional 10 points.

Happy Hour is also double points.

There are leaderboards for all of the All-in or Fold formats, Hold’em, Omaha and Sit n Go versions. The prize money is pretty good for this format, C$20,000 per day.

The points accumulation process is pretty straightforward, every time you go all-in, you get a point. 

Even Flip & Go tournaments have a leaderboard on GGPoker. There are four leaderboards for the four different buy-in levels that Flip & Go tournaments are offered at: $0.05, $0.50, $3 & $20, sharing $5,000 per day in prizes, paid in T$.

These are a bit different to the other leaderboards. Players receive 1 point for every tournament entered but also earn bonus points for the strength of the hand made, known as a Flip Bonus.

Points are multiplied by 1.5 during Happy Hour, which as per the other Leaderboards, runs from 22.00-23.59 (UTC-8).
