At Gods of Poker, innovation has never been limited to the felt. From the introduction of the Cronus Structure to rethinking the overall player experience, the mission has always been clear — build a tour that truly understands modern players.

Now, that philosophy extends beyond the game itself.

Welcome to the GOP Rewards Program , a player-first evolution designed to redefine how rewards are earned, and how they are experienced.

It begins at GOP Incheon 2026, the first stage where players will experience these promotions in full.

Built for Flexibility

Poker travel has never been one-size-fits-all.

Some players chase high roller titles, others map out full schedules, and many simply want to move through a series efficiently while getting the most from their time and investment. Traditional poker packages haven’t always kept up. Fixed hotels, bundled perks, and rigid structures may offer value on paper, but often fall short of how players actually plan and play.

The GOP Rewards Program takes a different approach.

At its core, it’s simple: play your way and get more from it.

Replacing traditional High Roller packages, players are no longer tied to specific hotels or bundled requirements. Instead, rewards are applied directly to tournament entries — giving players the freedom to:

  • Choose their own accommodation
  • Plan their travel independently
  • And still receive meaningful value based on participation

It’s a system built around flexibility, designed to match how modern players approach the game.

A System That Adapts to Every Player

Every player approaches a series differently. Some focus on marquee events, others build volume across multiple days. The GOP Rewards Program is designed to support both.

Across key High Roller events and the Main Event, rewards are applied on a per-event basis, giving players the flexibility to participate on their own terms while still benefiting from early planning. There’s no requirement to commit to everything upfront. Value builds naturally with each qualifying entry.

At the top end of the schedule, four key High Roller events anchor the program, beginning with the Demigods Challenge, a signature gauntlet event.

Each qualifying High Roller entry offers a 50% rake reward on the first buy-in, allowing players to get more from their investment. For those taking on multiple High Roller events, the benefits build steadily across the series — rewarding consistency in a simple, straightforward way.

Main Event Rewards

At the center of it all is the Main Event, where a 50% rake reward is applied to the first entry (Flight A only), delivering added value on the biggest stage of the series.

Flight A stands out as the only starting flight played across two days to reach the payouts. Day 1 features just two extended levels, a four-hour level followed by a five-hour level, creating a deep, measured start rarely seen in the global setting.

On Day 2, players may enter at the start of play with a 30 big blind stack, with 60-minute levels running through to the payouts. It’s a format built for depth, patience, and a more deliberate path to the finish, where value and structure come together at the highest level.

Simple, Clear, and Built for Players

The program is designed to remain straightforward:

  • Rewards apply to first entries only
  • Participation must be secured in advance
  • Proof of attendance is required prior to the series

Once completed, rewards are credited instantly upon registration — no delays, no complicated claims.

A Connected Experience Through the GOP App

Supporting the GOP Rewards Program is the introduction of the GOP App, designed to bring greater efficiency and control to how players navigate the series.

Built with the same player-first approach, the app allows for direct event registration, schedule management, and real-time notifications. Players can receive timely reminders ahead of events and registration deadlines, ensuring they remain aligned with their plans throughout the series.

The GOP VIP Wallet Reward extends this approach further, offering up to $5,000 in rewards based on qualifying deposits. Rewards are credited instantly and structured around actual participation, giving players the flexibility to manage both their play and their funds on their own terms.

Together, the GOP App and VIP Wallet help bring the Rewards Program to life, making each step of the experience more seamless, flexible, and player-friendly from start to finish.

Rewarding Commitment, Redefining Value

The GOP Rewards Program starts from a simple idea — value begins before the first card is dealt.

Players who plan ahead, commit early, and approach the series with intent are positioned to get more from every entry. It’s a system that aligns rewards with preparation, not just results.

More than just a promotion, the GOP Rewards Program represents a shift in how value is delivered. By moving away from rigid packages and toward a flexible, player-driven model, Gods of Poker is setting a new standard for the modern player experience.

In a game built on decisions, it only makes sense that rewards follow the same principle.
