GGPoker unveils a range of improvements to its ever-popular Super MILLION$ tournaments, weekly $10,300 high-roller events that attract both enthusiastic amateur players and the best poker professionals alike.

The most important introduction is that of a SuperRanking leaderboard, which will rank players purely on their profit-and-loss results in all online and live Super MILLION$ events and display the top twenty players. The player that finishes the year at the summit of the SuperRanking leaderboard will be crowned SuperPro and can legitimately be recognized as poker’s best player.

The SuperPro will receive the following:

• Awarded Super Platinum level in GGPoker’s Fish Buffet loyalty program and receive the equivalent of 100% cashback at GGPoker and in all online and offline Super MILLION$ events
• Receive a custom GGPoker player avatar
• Further benefits which will be revealed over the course of 2023

The players finishing in 2nd and 3rd place on the SuperRanking leaderboard will receive the same benefits, excepting the special SuperPro avatar. Players must take part in at least five Super MILLION$ events per calendar year to be eligible for consideration.

Furthermore, GGPoker is partnering with Triton Poker and other live operators to introduce live Super MILLION$ tournaments to their respective events. The first Super MILLION$ Live tournament is scheduled for March 1 during the upcoming Triton Super High Roller Series stop at the Hoiana Resort & Golf resort in Vietnam.

New ways to qualify for Super MILLION$ online events will be introduced. The satellites will help ensure that almost all players, no matter their bankroll, will have an opportunity to win their way into online poker’s most prestigious tournaments.

First up will be a massive Super MILLION$ 2023 satellite on January 29, with ten $10,300 Super MILLION$ tickets guaranteed and buy-in set at just $10.

“This new edition of Super MILLION$ will really be exceptional, including a new SuperRanking format which will be based on pure win-loss, for the first time in poker history. The winners will be recognized as the best poker players of our era, and crowned GGPoker’s first SuperPros,” said Bertrand ‘ElkY’ Grospellier, GGPoker Global and Super MILLION$ Ambassador. “We’re also expanding LIVE and bringing the Super MILLION$ experience worldwide to everyone; I can’t wait to see some new faces in the world’s greatest high-roller games!”

Super MILLION$ Week recently concluded at GGPoker, with the series highlight a $10,000,000 guaranteed Main Event, which awarded over $11.5M in prize money, the biggest prize pool seen yet in a $10K online tournament. Since its inception on June 14, 2020, more than $300M has been awarded in Super MILLION$ tournaments, making Super MILLION$ the dominant high-roller series in online poker.

GGPoker today announces a new tournament type – Bet & Go – which will bring the excitement of supporting your favorite sports teams onto the digital felt.

Each Bet & Go tournament is matched to an upcoming sporting event, such as a football or tennis match. Two buy-in options will be available per tournament, one for either opponent in the upcoming event, with each buy-in discounted by each opponent’s odds of winning. For example, players supporting big favorites will have smaller discounts applied to their buy-in than available to players who choose to support the underdogs.

Another unique Bet & Go twist is that once the sporting event ends, the surviving players that registered in support of the losing team are automatically knocked out of the poker tournament! Luckily, all players knocked out at this point can choose to rebuy at a non-discounted buy-in.

The very first Bet & Go tournament will be held on Sunday, November 20, at the same time as the Qatar vs Ecuador football game, with additional tournaments scheduled for each football match in the following days and weeks.

“With Bet & Go tournaments, GGPoker players can support their favorite teams or simply take advantage of the biggest discounts and cheer for the underdogs,” said Daniel Negreanu, GGPoker Global Ambassador. “Watch your team win the event and you’ll be free to continue to play your way into the money; it could be win-win for you!”

New GGPoker players are eligible to claim the poker room’s Welcome Bonus, earn even more rewards with the Honeymoon for Newcomers promotion and automatically join GGPoker’s Fish Buffet loyalty program, with regular cash prizes on offer.

Constantly improving its feature set, Stretch Network is adding new Sonic Poker and All-in Cash Out.

Sonic Poker is the fast-paced cash game mode where players move to a different table with different opponents in each hand. Players are automatically placed in a ‘Players Pool’ and when someone folds, they immediately move on to a new hand at a new table. Players can fold at any point when they are facing a bet, even before it’s their turn to act. The purpose of Sonic Poker is to increase the number of hands played by players per session, as well as to increase the retention rate of players in cash games.

All-in Cash out functionality is designed to allow players to play more hands while encouraging them to play higher stakes. It offers players low-risk bets and the ability to evaluate their win/lose risk based on the probability of win calculated in case of 2 players who go all-in before the river.

Both features are designed to bring additional excitement to the gaming experience, as well as provide operators with significant opportunities for revenue growth and long-term success.

The constant work on creating new features and improving the poker software is just a testament to Stretch Network’s commitment to excellence and flexibility.
