Formats
GGPoker games: the network's own formats and the classic tables
Beyond regular cash games, the GGPoker lobby runs formats the network invented: fast-fold Rush & Cash, All-In or Fold on eight big blinds, Spin & Gold with a multiplier wheel, two-stage Flip & Go and Mystery Battle Royale. Each does a different job, from training beginners to chasing a jackpot.
Which does what
Formats by purpose
Rush & Cash
Fold and you are at a new table. Stakes from $0.01/$0.02; random hands get a Cash Drop up to 600 BB.
All-In or Fold
8 BB stacks, two decisions, hold'em and Omaha. Jackpot for a straight flush or better.
Spin & Gold
Three or six players, the wheel sets the prize: from $0.25 up to $1,000,000 on the top multiplier.
Tournaments
GGMasters freezeouts daily, a Sunday $1,000,000 event, The Weekender and network series.
For a beginner
The first month: All-In or Fold and Rush & Cash at the cheapest stakes. AoF teaches pre-flop hand strength without room for expensive post-flop errors - stack 8 BB, one decision. Rush & Cash triples hands per hour because you never wait out a hand after folding. Both cost cents per big blind and are where Honeymoon and rewards-pack missions are completed.
For a big prize from a small buy-in
Spin & Gold and Mystery Battle Royale. The wheel can land on a multiplier up to x200,000, turning a $5 buy-in into $1,000,000; in Battle Royale each knockout at the final table opens a hidden bounty with a shot at up to $250,000. Both are lotteries with a skill component: high variance, best played from money outside the core bankroll.
Where the rake sits
Rush & Cash charges 5% capped at 3BB, plus 0.5BB from pots of 30BB or more into the Cash Drop fund. AoF takes a fraction of a big blind per pot and feeds a jackpot. Spin & Gold withholds 7%, Mystery Battle Royale 8%. Part of it comes back through Ocean Rewards.
Play money: the same games without stakes
Every format runs on play chips too: a new account gets P20,000, refillable at P10,000 every four hours and at most twice a day. Test a format before risking money.
