GGPoker leaderboards

Head over to GGPoker if you love chasing down the top spots on leaderboards because there are plenty of them for you to get stuck into. These six leaderboards have combined prizes of $6.5 million in January alone, making them potentially extremely profitable.

Daily $20,000 Hold’em and Omaha Leaderboards

Cash game players can win a share of $40,000 every single day across a pair of leaderboards. Both the Hold’em and Omaha cash game leaderboards pay out $20,000 to the biggest points earner of the day; that equates to a combined $1,240,000 per month!

Both the Hold’em and Omaha leaderboards are broken down into the various stakes GGPoker offers, making it a level playing field. You’ll only ever compete against opponents playing for the same stakes of you, giving you more chance to walk away with a prize.

All prizes are paid out in GGPoker’s new Cash Dollars (C$) currency, which can only be used at the site’s cash game tables.

You Never Win a Share of $40,000 Faster Than This

Rush & Cash is the fastest way to play cash games at GGPoker. The fact there’s $40,000 worth of C$ prizes to be won daily means Rush & Cash is possibly the fastest way to boost your bankroll.

Fourteen Rush & Cash leaderboards run each day: seven for Hold’em and seven for Omaha. Rack up points by playing in raked hands and boost your points by snagging another 10 points if you win a pot where there is a cash drop.

$20,000 Worth of Prizes Must Be Won By Spin & Gold Players

Spin & Gold are GGPoker’s take on jackpot sit & go tournaments and they can award some huge prizes. Those prizes are boosted by $20,000 worth of Spin & Gold tickets every single day!

The concept is a simple one. You earn Gold based on where you finish in the Spin & Go tournament you enter. The players with the most gold at the end of the day receive a slice of the daily $20,000 prize pool. You can then use the tickets won to climb the next day’s leaderboards and, hopefully, win again.
