GGPoker is an online poker room started in 2017. It's based in the Isle of Man in the Irish Sea.

History
GGPoker's parent company GG International Limited was started in April of 2017. The site got its first license in August 2017 from the UK Gambling Commission. The online poker room really got a boost when in October 2019, Daniel Negreanu signed on as a brand ambassador. Negreanu had left PokerStars six months earlier, and was the world's most popular poker player at the time. High-profile poker players like Bertrand „ElkY“ Grospellier, Fedor Holz, and Dan Bilzerian followed the following year.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 World Series of Poker was held online. The international part, 54 bracelet events, were organized on GGPoker, further positioning the brand as a global player. The Main Event of the online WSOP in September 2020, set a record for largest prize pool in an online poker tournament with $ 27.5 million.

Games
GGPoker offers both cash games and tournaments in numerous variants. The buy-ins range from pennies to high stakes. In addition, there is the "Spin & Gold" format where 3 or 6 players play in a sit-and-go style tournament for a random prize pool, "All-In or Fold", where all players must either bet all their chips or fold in each hand, and "Flip & Go", where all tournament players are all-in in the first hand and the remainder of the event plays as a usual poker tournament.

In June 2021, the site released a sit-and-go variant called Battle Royale, a Fortnite inspired tournament variant in which 30 players compete against each other in a bounty format.

The major tournament series at GGPoker include the World Series of Poker Online, the Super Circuit Online Series, and the GG Spring Festival. All series have guaranteed prize pools.
