Dear friends, we remind you that all the most profitable deals including those on the GGpoker network, can be requested in our support! Write, ask questions and get the best rakeback deals.
BadBeat Jackpot
GGpoker announced BadBeat Jackpot which will be available for losses with four twos or better (for Holdem Rush and cash games), as well as four jacks or better for short decks and all varieties of PLO. In order to qualify for the jackpot, several conditions should be fulfilled:
- Hand has reached showdown.
- Both winner and loser must use hole cards (two hole cards for PLO/PLO-5) to make the best 5 card hand.
- In the case of RIMT (Run it Multiple Times), only the first run will be credited with the jackpot.
If all the conditions for the jackpot are met, the player will be awarded even if they leave the table or disconnect.
The Jackpot Pool for Hold'em, PLO, PLO-5, Short Deck and Rush & Cash will be joint.
It will grow by reserving certain amounts from these games. You can check the actual amount of Bad Beat Jackpot at any time in the lobby and at the tables of the client.
The fund will be formed if only the bank's amount exceeds or is equal to 30 BB (BTB). In this case, an amount equivalent to 1 BB (BTB) will be reserved for the jackpot pool.
In Rush & Cash, nothing will be reserved for the jackpot pool at tables with 5 or fewer players.

#ThanksGG Freerolls
The GGCheers promotion will reward lucky players with a ticket to the daily $100K #ThanksGG Freerolls. The next day they will be able to take part in the tournament.
In these daily events, lucky players will sit next to those players who received tickets using the already existing GGCare feature that prevents bad beats and coolers.
The stack size of each player in the #ThanksGG Flipout freeroll depends on how lucky (GGCheers) or unlucky (GGCare) they were in the qualifying hand. The exact conditions under which suitable hands are run vary depending on the game. GGCheers and GGCare are continuously optimized to cover as many relevant scenarios as possible. You can read more about the terms of this promotion here.
