  • Pick & Go Tournaments live on GGPoker from Friday, June 14
  • First promotion to run for the duration of soccer's European Championships
  • Players can pick their favourite team and experience dynamic tournament buy-ins based on match odds
GGPoker today announces the launch of Pick & Go tournaments, a new format that merges the excitement of major sporting events with the exhilaration of online poker.

Pick & Go tournaments will run on GGPoker to coincide with top-tier sporting events, including international football matches.

The launch of GGPoker Pick & Go Tournaments comes ahead of soccer's European Championships, with Euro 2024 starting on Friday, June 14.

Each tournament will feature two buy-in options (one for either opponent) with buy-ins adjusted by the live match odds.

As an example, if players are supporting big favourites, they will have smaller discounts applied to their buy-in compared to players who are backing the underdog.

To add an extra layer of excitement, any players who registered in support of the losing team will be automatically knocked out of the poker tournament once the sporting event finishes, regardless of their chip stack. The remaining Pick & Go players will then battle it out in a standard No-Limit Hold’em tournament format.

The inaugural Pick & Go tournament starts on June 14, aligning with the highly anticipated Germany vs Scotland game at Euro 2024.

Additional tournaments will run in tandem with the international football matches scheduled over the coming weeks.

All registered players can enter the tournaments.

When registering, new players can claim the GGPoker Welcome Bonus and Honeymoon for Newcomers promotions alongside Pick & Go Tournaments and automatically join the Fish Buffet loyalty program, which provides regular cash prizes.

Sarne Lightman, Managing Director of GGPoker, said: "Pick & Go offers players a thrilling dilemma; support the favorites to boost your chances of surviving until the money, or back the underdog for a bargain buy-in.

"There will be moments when you’ll have to choose between your heart and your head, maybe even buying in and supporting a rival team - with Pick & Go the stakes are high both on and off the tables!"
