    Choose a Format by Situation

    • I have an hour or less: Spin & Gold, Flip & Go, or Heads-Up SNG.
    • Beginner in training: Freerolls — free, nothing to lose. Then low-stake SNG.
    • I have a full evening: Classic MTT or GG Masters — real prize, real challenge.
    • I want low variance: Battle Royale — every knockout pays, even early exits can be profitable.
    • Advanced player: PKO, GG Masters, High Rollers, Heads-Up Sit & Go.
    • Max hands per hour: not a tournament — Rush & Cash.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    MTT vs SNG?
    MTT starts at a fixed time and reaches hundreds/thousands of players across many tables. SNG (Sit & Go) is a single-table tournament that starts as soon as 9/6/2 players register — no pre-registration.
    Which format is most profitable?
    Depends on the player. Spin & Gold and Battle Royale are highest hourly EV if your Push/Fold is sharp. Long MTTs give high ROI but huge variance. Cash Games / Rush & Cash are most stable.
    What is PKO?
    Progressive Knockout — an MTT variant with a progressive bounty. Half of the buy-in becomes a personal bounty; every knockout pays you half the victim's bounty in cash and adds the other half to your own.
    Are Freerolls really free?
    Yes. No buy-in, no requirements. Prize is small but real — a great way for beginners to try tournaments and build a small bankroll with zero risk.
    How do I register for a GGNetwork tournament from abroad?
    Through ClubGG Israel — join the club, install the app, open the tournament lobby. Full English support before, during and after the tournament.
