WPT Global Weekly Golden Bounty

Everyone loves a progressive knockout tournament, especially if that tournament has a guaranteed prize pool that tips the scales at a quarter of a million dollars. Often, playing for such a vast sum of money requires players to fork out a large buy-in, but not at WPT Global, where the $250,000 guaranteed Weekly Golden Bounty costs only $25 to enter.

The WPT Global $25 Weekly Golden Bounty is a multi-day PKO event that guarantees at least $250,000 will be won. The generous online poker site increased the guarantee last week, and players flocked to the site in droves. By the time late registration on the final flight slammed shut, 11,307 WPT Global players had bought in and created a whopping $257,200 prize pool!

With bounties included, the champion secured a $19,423 prize, while the runner-up received $14,787, all for a $25 buy-in.

Dozens of Day 1s run every two hours throughout the week, each with progressive bounties in play from the start. Eliminate an opponent and you'll win a bounty worth at least $5.68. Entrants in each flight sit down armed with a 10,000 starting stack and play to a ten-minute clock where blinds start at 50/100/12a.

Play concludes when only 11% of the field remains, or when Level 20 is reached. Surviving players progress to Day 2 at 1:30 p.m. BST on Sunday to conclude the Weekly Golden Bounty and win some massive prizes and bounties.

Have You Tried the New and Improved WPT Global Software?

Weekly Golden Bounty players can re-enter up to ten times on each of the $25 buy-in flights up to the end of the 12th level. Playing in multiple flights is worthwhile, if your bankroll allows, because everyone who navigates to Day 2 more than once has their chip stacks combined and carried forward.

Not everyone has the bankroll to afford multiple $25 bullets, which is why WPT Global runs budget satellites around the clock. Those satellites start from as little as $1.50, allowing almost everyone to take a shot at a $250,000 guaranteed prize pool!
