PGT Online KickOff Series

The PGT Online KickOff Series 2026 runs from November 8 to 30 on CoinPoker and opens the PokerGO Tour Online (PGT Online), the online version of the PokerGO Tour. Also called the PGT KickOff Online, it carries US$50 million in guarantees and is the first of six series in the US$250 million season. Over 23 days, the schedule lists 50 highlight Trophy Events, at least two every day, with buy-ins from US$33 to US$1,500 and US$20.4 million guaranteed between them. Most days pair a main event with a cheaper version. Formats include PKO, Mystery Bounty, six-max, eight-max, deepstack and turbo, plus a US$530 PLO Championship on November 15. Satellites and freerolls lead into many of the events, and the full schedule is in the CoinPoker app.

The Main Event costs US$530 and is guaranteed at US$5 million, with Day 2 on November 30. Two more Day 2s are played the same day: the US$55 Mini Main, guaranteed at US$1 million, and the US$1,500 CoinMasters High Roller, also guaranteed at US$1 million and the highest buy-in of the series. Three other events carry US$1 million guarantees: the US$530 PGT KickOff on the opening day, the US$530 Mystery Million on November 15, and the US$1,050 Sunday Grand PGT Edition on November 22. The series brings Mystery Bounty tournaments to CoinPoker for the first time, and the Mystery Million’s top bounty is US$50,000. The US$1,050 High Stakes Poker event on November 26 is guaranteed at US$500,000.

This is the first edition of the series, so there are no earlier results to compare. It is also the first chance to qualify for the US$1 million winner-takes-all Vegas Final, which 50 players will play at the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas in January 2028. Seats come from PGT Millionaire Challenges in the CoinPoker app, and winning the Main Event is one way to get one directly. Playing on 8, 15, and 20 different days of the series earns Loyalty Badges with Qualifier tickets, and repeating them in the next series doubles the tickets. Winners of highlight events get a real trophy shipped to them as well as a digital one.
