Bounty Hunters Series
GGPoker’s Bounty Hunters Series returns April 5 to 28, 2026 with $80M guaranteed, featuring a $5M Mystery Bounty Main Event and $1M leaderboard, combining progressive and mystery bounty formats with strong incentives for consistent knockout-driven play.

GGPoker has officially confirmed the comeback of its Bounty Hunters Series, set to run between April 5 and April 28, 2026. 

The upcoming edition carries a minimum of $80,000,000 in guaranteed prize money, positioning it as one of the most aggressive knockout-driven tournament festivals on the online circuit.
Unlike standard MTT formats, this series leans heavily into knockout economics. 

Players are not just chasing final table payouts, they are monetizing eliminations in real time. The progressive bounty structure ensures that every knockout increases future earning potential, while the mystery bounty format introduces volatility, where a single elimination can unlock a disproportionately large reward.

Bounty Hunters Series 2026: Key Highlights

The schedule is built around three flagship multi-stage events that cater to completely different bankroll tiers:
  • $25 Mystery Bounty Mini Main, $2.5M GTD - Day 2 on April 13
  • $5.40 Bounty Hunters Warm Up, $1M GTD - Final Stage on April 20
  • $108 Mystery Bounty Main Event, $5M GTD - Day 2 on April 27
This spread is deliberate. It allows recreational volume players, low-stakes grinders, and mid-stakes regulars to operate within the same ecosystem without pricing friction.

Special Bounty Hunters Series Editions Every Day

Alongside the global pool, GGPoker is running a ring-fenced Ontario version from April 5 to April 27. This localized series guarantees $2,000,000 in total prizes and includes a $250K Mystery Bounty Main Event, maintaining structural parity with the global offering but within a closed player pool.

$750K Daily Leaderboard

The real behavioral lever in this series is the Daily Leaderboard. Now scaled to $1,000,000 in total rewards, it shifts focus from single-event success to sustained daily performance. Over $40,000 will be distributed each day, with the top performer securing the Bounty King title.

This creates a grind incentive. Players are not just entering for one score, they are encouraged to stack consistent knockout volume across sessions.
Sarne Lightman, Managing Director at GGPoker, emphasized that the series is built around action density and payout frequency. With $80M in guarantees and a $5M Main Event alone, the structure is designed to maximize engagement while keeping upside intact through mystery bounty swings.

The April line-up is not just another tournament schedule. It is a volume-driven, knockout-focused ecosystem where consistency, aggression, and timing directly translate into earnings. For players who understand bounty dynamics, this series offers significantly more leverage than traditional formats.
