GGPoker Brings Back Bounty Hunters Series With $80M Guaranteed April 5 -28

GGPoker has confirmed the return of Bounty Hunters Series for April 5 to April 28, 2026. The festival will carry at least $80,000,000 in guaranteed prizes, while the schedule centers on knockout poker formats that continue to pull strong interest across the online tournament market.

Good to Know

• Bounty Hunters Series runs from April 5 through April 28, 2026.
• Total guarantees across the festival start at $80,000,000.
• A boosted daily leaderboard will award $1,000,000 in total prizes.

GGPoker Loads April With Bounty Action

Rather than leaning only on one headline event, GGPoker is spreading the weight across the full series. Every part of the schedule points back to bounty poker, where knockouts directly add cash value and can change tournament strategy fast. That matters because progressive bounty and mystery bounty events tend to keep players engaged even when buy ins stay modest. GGPoker is clearly leaning into that mix again for a broad April tournament push.

Three events sit at the front of the schedule. The $25 Mystery Bounty Mini Main carries a $2.5M guarantee, with Day 2 set for April 13. Then comes the $5.40 Bounty Hunters Warm Up with $1M guaranteed, ending on April 20. The biggest date belongs to the $108 Mystery Bounty Main Event, which has a $5M guarantee and reaches Day 2 on April 27. GGPoker also plans special Bounty Hunters Series editions every day during the festival.

One extra layer comes from the leaderboard race. GGPoker said the Daily Leaderboard has been raised to $1,000,000 in total prizes, with more than $40,000 awarded each day. On top of that, the top finisher each day will take the Daily Bounty King title. For regular grinders, that creates another route to value beyond single event results. For the operator, it adds retention across the full series instead of tying player attention only to a few major days.

Ontario will also get its own version of the festival. GGPoker plans a separate Ontario schedule from April 5 through April 27 with $2M guaranteed, including a $250K Mystery Bounty Main Event. That keeps the series relevant in a ring fenced market while still linking it to the wider Bounty Hunters brand. In practical terms, that gives GGPoker more than one promotional lane at the same time in online poker, bounty tournaments, and regulated local competition.

Mystery bounty poker remains a major pull in the current online tournament space because prize potential can jump without warning once bounty envelopes open. Progressive bounty events work differently but create similar pressure, since every elimination grows future value. GGPoker is not trying to reinvent the format here. Instead, it is doubling down on a structure players already know, with big guarantees, lower entry points in key spots, and a high visibility Main Event at the top of the slate.

Sarne Lightman, Managing Director at GGPoker, said:

“The Bounty Hunters Series is the ultimate expression of what GGPoker is about – high-stakes action, massive prizes, and an extra layer of strategy that keeps every hand exciting. With $80M in total guarantees and the addition of a boosted $1M daily leaderboard, we’re giving our players more reasons than ever to get in on the hunt. The mystery bounty format continues to be a massive hit, and with $5M guaranteed in the Main Event alone, the potential for life-changing knockouts is higher than ever.”
