GGPoker’s Super MILLION$ To Crown World’s Best High-Roller Poker Player
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.
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.

Play’n GO has today announced the official US release of its hit title Colt Lightning Firestorm, following a three-week period of exclusivity with Rush Street Interactive brands BetRivers and SugarHouse.

The game is a sequel to the wildly popular Colt Lightning game which was released early last year, and indications at this stage suggest that this sequel may prove even more successful.
This announcement sees Colt Lightning Firestorm available to players in each state and operator with whom Play’n GO is licensed. Play’n GO first entered the online casino market in the US in 2022, and has reiterated its commitment to becoming active in every regulated market around the world.
Magnus Olsson, Chief Commercial Officer at Play’n GO said: “We’re excited to unveil Colt Lightning Firestorm to the wider online casino gaming community in the US, and have been very pleased to see its strong performance during its exclusivity period with Rush Street Interactive. We had high hopes for the game following the success of its predecessor, and we’re confident that these robust results will continue now that the game is available to an even bigger audience.”

Over the coming 18 months, Singapore will become a major hub for esports in Southeast Asia, and with the support of the Singapore Tourism Board, we look forward to delivering unforgettable experiences for fans while helping to build a thriving esports ecosystem in the region. Bringing the first BLAST arena event to Singapore is an exciting first step in this journey. The World Final will see the world’s best Counter-Strike players and teams fighting for a $1,000,000 total prize pool.”
Ms Ong Ling Lee, Executive Director, Sports and Wellness, Singapore Tourism Board, said, “We are excited to host the BLAST Premier World Final and the BLAST Dota Slam in Singapore.
