CoinPoker and PokerGO have launched the PGT Online, the online PokerGO Tour, with $250,000,000 in guarantees across six series. It opens on Sunday 8 November with the $50,000,000 GTD KickOff Series and runs to November 2027. A $1,000,000 winner-takes-all live final follows in Las Vegas in January 2028.
Every headline event comes with satellite routes and freerolls, and players signed up through VIP-Grinders' exclusive CoinPoker rakeback deal earn rakeback on every buy-in across the twelve months. Sign up direct and that money stays with the room.
What Is the PGT Online?
The live PokerGO Tour has run some of the biggest high-roller series in poker since 2021. The October 2026 Poker Masters at the PokerGO Studio is the latest example, where Jeremy Ausmus beat Aram Oganyan heads-up in the $15,700 Event #7 for $278,400 and his tenth PGT title.
The PGT Online takes that brand to CoinPoker's player pool for a full year, from November 2026 to November 2027. It runs alongside the room's regular calendar, covered in our full CoinPoker tournament schedule overview.
- Six series: each with its own satellites, daily events, feature tournaments and Main Events.
- Trophies: real trophies shipped to champions of Trophy Events, with a digital copy in the CoinPoker Trophy Cabinet.
- Loyalty Badges: earned by playing on consecutive days, each one worth a ticket to a Vegas Final qualifier.
- 50 seats: every series hands out a share of the places in the live $1,000,000 final.
$50M KickOff Series Schedule
The KickOff Series carries the first $50,000,000 of the guarantee and the first chances at trophies, Loyalty Badges and Vegas seats. That is double the $25M guarantee behind the CoinPoker World Poker Masters schedule. Six headline events are published so far, with the rest due in the app.
| Date | Tournament | Buy-in | Guarantee |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 November | PGT KickOff | $530 | $1,000,000 |
| 15 November | Mystery Million (Mystery Bounty) | $530 | $1,000,000 |
| 22 November | PGT Sunday Grand | $1,050 | $1,000,000 |
| 26 November | High Stakes Poker | $1,050 | $500,000 |
| 30 November (Day 2) | KickOff Main Event | $530 | $5,000,000 |
| 30 November (Day 2) | CoinMasters High Roller | $1,500 | $1,000,000 |
The $5,000,000 GTD KickOff Main Event at $530 is the value play of the series. CoinPoker says satellite pathways and freeroll routes into these events will follow, which is the cheap way into a $5,000,000 prize pool.
The lobby already shows more than the six headline events. A PGT filter in the Tournaments tab lists $400,000 and $500,000 GTD championships through the month, a $109 Sunday Mystery Cup and a $250 PGT Last Chance, all registering now.
Mystery Bounty Debuts on CoinPoker
The KickOff Series brings the first Mystery Bounty tournaments to CoinPoker. The headline is the Mystery Million on 15 November: $530 to enter, $1,000,000 guaranteed, and a top bounty of $50,000.
How Mystery Bounty works: once the bounty period starts, every knockout draws a prize at random from the bounty pool rather than paying a fixed amount. Most draws are small, a few are large, and one in the Mystery Million is worth $50,000.
The $1M Vegas Final
The PGT Online ends with a live tournament: 50 finalists, one $1,000,000 prize, winner takes all, played under the lights of the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas in January 2028.
- Where: PokerGO Studio, Las Vegas.
- When: January 2028, after the sixth series closes.
- Who: 50 seat-holders aged 21 or over who have completed KYC verification.
Fifty seats over a full year is not many, and the room itself is the draw: most online players have only ever seen the PokerGO Studio on a stream.
How to Win a Seat
Seats are won inside the CoinPoker app, not bought. Each series has its own PGT Millionaire Challenges and qualification routes, and the announcement lists four ways in.
- PGT Millionaire Challenges: complete a series challenge in the app to win a Vegas Final seat outright.
- Loyalty Badges: an active day is any day you enter at least one PGT Online event. Hit the streak challenge, such as 10 consecutive days, and you earn a Badge with a qualifier ticket attached. Repeat it in the next series and you get two tickets, with the first Badge locked into your Trophy Cabinet.
- Qualifier tournaments: every Badge ticket enters a tournament where the prize is a seat in the final.
- Finalist Journey: once you hold a seat, later series offer extra challenges that CoinPoker says can earn upgrades and luxury add-ons for the trip.
One catch on Badges: an unlocked Badge expires if the streak is broken, so the second series matters as much as the first. A broken streak can be restarted in any later series.
