The Taiwan Millions Tournament (TMT) and iPoker are raising the stakes
When iPoker first announced the TMT Online Series, it promised a fantastic $600,000 guaranteed prize pool, bringing the excitement of Asia’s iconic live festival to the global online stage for the first time. In an exciting turn of events, the series guarantee has been raised to an astounding $1,000,000!
From $600,000 to $1,000,000 - Expanded TMT Schedule
The initial announcement of a $600,000 guarantee was already a game-changer for the UP Poker network, offering players the chance to compete for huge prizes and exclusive TMT Champion Trophies across 10 major events.. The decision to boost the guarantee to $1,000,000 reflects both the overwhelming response from the poker community and TMT’s commitment to delivering world-class value to its players.
The TMT Online Series, from May 15 to June 2, 2025, offers a dynamic tournament lineup designed to appeal to all poker players. The centerpiece of the schedule is now the $150,000 GTD Main Event, reflecting a significant increase from the original $100,000 guarantee.
Alongside the Main Event, players can compete in High Roller contests, Progressive KO tournaments, Short Deck, and freeroll tournaments. With buy-ins ranging from free to $540, the series is accessible to everyone. Players worldwide can join the action anywhere through the UP Poker Network’s platforms.
The flexible tournament schedule and multiple starting flights for main events allow players in various time zones to easily find convenient times to participate, maximizing their chances of advancing deep into the tournaments.
Freeroll Tournaments
Two freeroll events remain on the schedule. These events allow players to win real cash prizes without a buy-in, making them accessible to everyone on the platform.

TMT Special: Appreciation Freeroll
Date & Time: May 31, 2025, at 11:30 GMT

The Appreciation Freeroll is the series’ grand gesture to thank the Taiwan Millions Tournament (TMT) community for their support and enthusiasm. With a generous $10,000 prize pool, this tournament offers amazing rewards.
TMT Online Series Leaderboard and Trophies
In addition to the expanded prize pool, the TMT Online Series features a $10,000 leaderboard competition, rewarding consistent performers across all events. Each of the 10 trophy events awards an exclusive TMT Champion Trophy, crafted from national treasure-grade incense-cedar wood. This unique prize connects online winners to the tradition of the live TMT festival.
How to Participate
Registration is open on all UP Poker Network platforms, such as iPoker.app, VangPoker.com and UPPoker.com. With the guarantee now at $1,000,000, the TMT Online Series is one of the most lucrative and accessible poker festivals.
