GGMasters Master Rise Reward – Climb Higher, Win Bigger
The Master Rise Reward challenges GGMasters $150 players to improve their results week after week. With up to $1,650 in prizes on the line, every climb up the ranks brings bigger rewards and greater prestige.
Since March 2025, the GGMasters has delivered a massive $1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool every Sunday, cementing its reputation as one of the most prestigious and rewarding weekly tournaments in online poker.
The GGMasters has become a must-play tournament for poker enthusiasts worldwide, offering lucrative opportunities for players of every skill level.
Played in the No Limit Hold’em format, these iconic events embrace the true freezeout structure — no re-entries, no rebuys — for an authentic, high-stakes poker experience that rewards skill, strategy, and composure.
Beyond the flagship Sunday event, GGMasters keeps the action going all week long with additional tournaments running Monday through Saturday — all in the iconic freezeout format that poker strategists know and love.
Master Rise Reward
To make the series even more exciting and rewarding, GGPoker has introduced the GGMasters Rise Reward — adding an extra layer of value and giving players even more incentive to climb the GGMasters ranks.
In GGMasters, there are no second chances — no rebuys, no add-ons, just one shot to rise above the competition. The $150 buy-in event with its $1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool is the ultimate test of skill and composure, making it the world’s biggest freezeout.
Now, the challenge gets even more rewarding with the introduction of the $1,650 Master Rise Reward. Each week you improve, you’ll move closer to unlocking bigger bonuses and exclusive prizes — a true journey from contender to champion.
How the GGMasters Rise Reward works
The Master Rise Reward turns every GGMasters $150 event into a personal challenge where steady improvement leads to real rewards. Players are automatically entered once their GGMasters tournament concludes and their final ranking is confirmed. The result from the first event becomes the player’s Start Rank, setting the foundation for their journey.
From there, players must participate in a GGMasters $150 tournament every week to maintain progression. The goal is simple — achieve a higher rank than the previous week to continue advancing toward milestone rewards. The required tournament dates are clearly shown in the GGPoker client, making it easy to stay on track.
The challenge is completed when all milestone goals are reached and every prize has been claimed. Once finished, the challenge resets automatically, allowing players to start fresh by entering another GGMasters $150 event to establish a new Start Rank.
A challenge will end early if the player fails to improve their rank during Weeks 1–3, fails to improve or finish in the money during Weeks 4–5, or misses their scheduled tournament. If missed participation is the cause, the challenge ends immediately. In all other cases, the last achieved rank becomes the new Start Rank for the next attempt.
If a player reaches a ranking that can no longer be improved — for instance, a Top 3 finish or 1st place win — the challenge will be marked as completed early.
The Master Rise Reward gives players a reason to keep improving every week — rewarding consistency, determination, and skill with exclusive prizes and a new level of engagement in the GGMasters experience.
Your way into the GGMasters
For some poker strategists, the $150 buy-in might sit just beyond their current bankroll. Fortunately, GGPoker offers multiple ways to join the GGMasters action without stretching your budget. In addition to using the built-in staking tool to sell shares of your action, there are several alternative routes to secure a seat in the week’s most prestigious tournament.
Players can qualify for the GGMasters $150 through a wide range of satellites starting from as little as $1. Options include $10/$33 Hyper Satellites leading into the $1M GGMasters, as well as $15/$25 satellites and $5/$8 satellites for lower buy-ins. With multiple step satellites available, every player has a clear path to the $1,000,000 guaranteed GGMasters — no matter their bankroll.
Players can also take the fast track through the WSOP Express Step Satellites, offering a quick and affordable route to the $150 GGMasters ticket. Start with just $2 in Step 2 or $10 in Step 3 to climb your way to a Step 4 ticket worth $150. Even better — the WSOP Express path is also available for free, giving everyone a shot at the GGMasters without spending a cent.
