If I make a final table of a GG World Festival event will my Real Name be shown?
No, this does not apply to series outside of the WSOP Online Bracelet series.
If I win a 'seat' in a satellite, can I unregister or switch to a different event?
No - All seats that are awarded are 'must play' and this is explained in the lobby of the satellite. It is a player's responsibility to ensure they can play the target event they qualify for as players are unable to unregister or switch.
If I win a seat to a target event I am already registered for what happens?
If you are unable to use the seat as you are already registered or have used all available entries for the target event you will receive T$ for the value of the seat, the tournament fee will be deducted from this amount as per our multiple satellites wins policy.
What happens if late registration for the target event has finished and I win a seat in a satellite?
Two scenarios are possible here if there is an identical target event at a later time, you may be registered for that event. If there are no viable target events, you will receive T$ for the total value of the seat with no deduction.
What is the policy on players winning multiple tickets to GG World Festival Events?
Tickets are exchangeable to T$ in the days after the series concludes as long they have been won in pay-to-enter gameplay (satellites), excluding private/affiliate tournaments or freerolls. Tickets from promotions such as leaderboards, gift boxes, social media competitions, or gifted tickets of any kind are not exchangeable and must be used for the intended event or they will expire without value.
I have multiple GG World Festival satellite and event tickets of all different values. Can I combine them to register for a higher buy-in event?
No, this is not possible at present.
I have GG World Festival tickets; when do they expire?
You can check the expiration date of any tickets in your account by logging into the Natural8 app and viewing your tickets in the My Page > My Wallet window. The expiration date of each ticket is clearly displayed. Please be aware that tickets may be for a specific target event before the expiry date; an unexpired ticket does not guarantee entry to an event. Also, unexpired tickets where events have already occurred cannot be exchanged for Cash or T$ unless part of our general exchange policy.
My GG World Festival Tickets state they are 'irredeemable' - What does that mean?
When tickets are listed as 'irredeemable,' they can only be used for the specified event and cannot be exchanged for T$. If a ticket is marked as 'redeemable,' there is an option to exchange it for a set amount of T$.
I want to sell some of my action for a GG World Festival event - is this possible?
Yes, players can sell up to 90% of their action in single-day events.
In phased/flighted or multi-day events - action can be sold on Day 2 (Final Day).

How are GG World Festival leaderboard points calculated?
There is a formula used as follows:
Leaderboard Point = Log (Prize Pool) / Sqrt (Relative Rank)
Relative Rank = Finish position / Number of entrants
When are leaderboard points added to my score?
Points are calculated and added to the leaderboard at the end of each tournament. Not when a player is eliminated. For example, if a tournament starts on Sunday and ends on Tuesday, the points will apply towards the corresponding leaderboard after the tournament ends on Tuesday, not the Sunday leaderboard.
Which events count for leaderboard points?
Events under the GG World Festival have individual tabs.
- All events under GGWF-L will be counted towards the Low leaderboard.
- All events under GGWF-M will be counted towards the Medium leaderboard.
- All events under GGWF-H will be counted towards the High leaderboard.
- All events under GGWF-S will be counted towards the Super leaderboard.
