GGPoker’s Super MILLION$ To Crown World’s Best High-Roller Poker Player
GGPoker unveils a range of improvements to its ever-popular Super MILLION$ tournaments, weekly $10,300 high-roller events that attract both enthusiastic amateur players and the best poker professionals alike.
The most important introduction is that of a SuperRanking leaderboard, which will rank players purely on their profit-and-loss results in all online and live Super MILLION$ events and display the top twenty players. The player that finishes the year at the summit of the SuperRanking leaderboard will be crowned SuperPro and can legitimately be recognized as poker’s best player.
The SuperPro will receive the following:
- Awarded Super Platinum level in GGPoker’s Fish Buffet loyalty program and receive the equivalent of 100% cashback at GGPoker and in all online and offline Super MILLION$ events
- Receive a custom GGPoker player avatar
- Further benefits which will be revealed over the course of 2023
The players finishing in 2nd and 3rd place on the SuperRanking leaderboard will receive the same benefits, excepting the special SuperPro avatar. Players must take part in at least five Super MILLION$ events per calendar year to be eligible for consideration.
Furthermore, GGPoker is partnering with Triton Poker and other live operators to introduce live Super MILLION$ tournaments to their respective events. The first Super MILLION$ Live tournament is scheduled for March 1 during the upcoming Triton Super High Roller Series stop at the Hoiana Resort & Golf resort in Vietnam.
New ways to qualify for Super MILLION$ online events will be introduced. The satellites will help ensure that almost all players, no matter their bankroll, will have an opportunity to win their way into online poker’s most prestigious tournaments.
First up will be a massive Super MILLION$ 2023 satellite on January 29, with ten $10,300 Super MILLION$ tickets guaranteed and buy-in set at just $10.
“This new edition of Super MILLION$ will really be exceptional, including a new SuperRanking format which will be based on pure win-loss, for the first time in poker history. The winners will be recognized as the best poker players of our era, and crowned GGPoker’s first SuperPros,” said Bertrand ‘ElkY’ Grospellier, GGPoker Global and Super MILLION$ Ambassador. “We’re also expanding LIVE and bringing the Super MILLION$ experience worldwide to everyone; I can’t wait to see some new faces in the world’s greatest high-roller games!”
Super MILLION$ Week recently concluded at GGPoker, with the series highlight a $10,000,000 guaranteed Main Event, which awarded over $11.5M in prize money, the biggest prize pool seen yet in a $10K online tournament. Since its inception on June 14, 2020, more than $300M has been awarded in Super MILLION$ tournaments, making Super MILLION$ the dominant high-roller series in online poker.
New GGPoker players are eligible to claim the poker room’s Welcome Bonus, earn even more rewards with the Honeymoon for Newcomers promotion and automatically join GGPoker’s Fish Buffet loyalty program, with regular cash prizes on offer.

Double win for Kaizen Gaming at the SBC Awards Latinoamérica 2024
Kaizen Gaming, one of the biggest GameTech companies in the world, had an impressive double-win at the SBC Awards Latinoamérica 2024 on the 31st October in Miami, Florida. Awarded ‘Brazilian Market Entrant of the Year’, and ‘Marketing Campaign of the Year’, the two wins follow an impressive year of growth and exposure for Kaizen Gaming, as well as its premium brand Betano, across Latin America and globally.
Betano is rapidly growing its user base and presence in Brazil, serving as the main and title sponsor of Brasileirão Betano and Copa Betano do Brasil. As a founding member of the ANJL and IBJR regulatory bodies, Betano is recognised for its dedication to upholding the highest standards of responsible gaming and integrity. Furthermore, the Betano brand has launched multiple CSR initiatives across the country in partnership with sponsored team, Clube Atlético Mineiro. It also recently launched the “Juntos em Campo” long-term program in cooperation with CBF (Brazilian Football Confederation) to promote initiatives focused on gender equality.
Awarded for the results and creativity of its innovative “Football in America” marketing campaign, Betano successfully introduced Latin America to its “Confia” brand platform by leveraging on its CONMEBOL Copa America 2024 sponsorship. The campaign chimed with the spirit of fans across the continent by celebrating Latin America’s rich football heritage, playfully responding to Kylian Mbappe’s 2022 comments questioning the region’s football quality.
Vangelis Skarkalis, Kaizen Gaming Senior Commercial Director LATAM, said: “Latin America is one of the world’s most dynamic and exciting regions for i-gaming. Being recognised as a leading player in this important market with two wins at the prestigious SBC Awards Latinoamérica is a great honour – especially on the heels of our recent double-win as ‘Operator of the Year’ at both the EGR Operator Awards and SBC Awards. Achieving this success requires an exceptional team of dedicated, ambitious professionals. This award honours everyone’s hard work and commitment to always going above and beyond in delivering the best experiences for our customers not only in Latin America, but worldwide too.”
