GGNetwork
The largest online poker network globally, powered by GGPoker
About the GGNetwork Network
GGNetwork overtook PokerStars as the largest online poker destination in 2020 and has widened the gap every year since. The network pairs a massive recreational player base with aggressive tournament investment: WSOP Online bracelet events, the WSOP Circuit online series, and a calendar of major festivals. Third-party tracking tools are blocked; GGPoker's in-client Smart HUD is the permitted alternative.
Best for tournament players at every stake, cash players who prioritize traffic depth over rake economy, and recreational players who want brand recognition and soft games. Less ideal for grinders who depend on external HUDs, heavy table selection, and historical hand-history databases.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is GGPoker available to US players?
Not on the global pool. GGPoker operates regulated variants in specific markets (Ontario, UK, Germany, etc.) but the main global pool excludes US residents. US players looking for a deep-traffic alternative should see the WPN or PaiWangLuo hubs.
What is Smart HUD?
Smart HUD is GGPoker's in-client real-time stats display. It replaces third-party HUDs (which are blocked on the network) with a limited set of opponent statistics served by the client itself. It prevents long-range tracking databases while still giving players live context.
Why is the rake higher than on PokerStars?
GGNetwork's published rake sits slightly above PokerStars at most stakes, but the effective cost after rakeback promotions (Fish Buffet, Honeymoon, weekly tournaments) typically closes the gap or inverts it for active players. Use the PrimeDope rake calculator to compare exact numbers at your stake.
Does GGPoker have a WSOP partnership?
Yes. GGPoker is the exclusive online host of WSOP bracelet events outside the US; players can win real WSOP bracelets online through the network. The partnership runs annual summer and winter online bracelet series in addition to year-round Circuit events.
