GGPoker has officially announced the return of its popular Bounty Hunters Series, scheduled to run from April 5 through April 28, 2026. The online tournament festival will feature at least $80 million in guaranteed prize pools, reinforcing its position as one of the most lucrative recurring series in online poker.
The Bounty Hunters Series is widely recognized for its dynamic tournament formats, particularly progressive bounty and mystery bounty events. In progressive bounty tournaments, players earn cash rewards for eliminating opponents while simultaneously increasing their own bounty value. Meanwhile, mystery bounty events introduce an element of unpredictability, with hidden bounty prizes that are only revealed upon elimination—sometimes unlocking significant payouts.
Bounty Hunters Series 2026 Highlights
The upcoming series will include a full schedule of events, anchored by several major multi-stage tournaments:
- $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
- Special Bounty Hunters Series Editions Every Day
In addition to the global schedule, a separate Ontario-exclusive version of the series will run from April 5 through April 27. This regional edition carries a $2 million guarantee and features a $250,000 guaranteed Mystery Bounty Main Event.
$1M Daily Leaderboard and “Bounty King” Competition
To further intensify competition, the series introduces a boosted Daily Leaderboard with $1 million in total prizes. Players will compete daily for leaderboard points, with more than $40,000 awarded each day. The top-performing player earns the title of Daily Bounty King, highlighting consistent success across events.
Sarne Lightman, Managing Director at GGPoker, emphasized the appeal of the series:
“The Bounty Hunters Series represents everything our platform stands for—high-intensity gameplay, massive prize pools, and strategic depth. With $80 million guaranteed and a $1 million daily leaderboard, players have more opportunities than ever. The mystery bounty format continues to resonate strongly, especially with the $5 million guaranteed Main Event offering life-changing potential.”
