"Bet & Go"

GG Poker new game moved more than US$ 280k in World Cup first round

GG Poker has launched a tournament in Brazil for football and poker fans to support their favorite teams in Qatar and play online at the same time. In the first phase of the World Cup alone, the company distributed more than R$ 1.5 million (US 280k) in “Bet & Go”, which brings an experience that seeks to differentiate itself from the traditional sports betting on the market.

In addition to the prizes, which can exceed the guaranteed US$ 20,000 for those who guess the winner of certain games, it also eliminates from the table (as in poker), the players who choose the losing team. Interested parties must apply through the company's website.

How it works

The dynamics of the game takes into account the probabilities of winning the clashes, so the value of the “entry” is limited to US$ 10 with discounts that can reach almost 100%, depending on the team that the player chooses. It is only possible to bet on who will be the winner of the match.

“GG's big idea was to put football in the middle of a poker game, linking players to the table, not just for poker skill, but also for betting. No one on the market makes this type of game, and we are already noticing a great engagement around the world, especially from Brazil. Therefore, we are also planning promotions for each round that there is a game in Brazil,” said João Carmo, CMO of GG Poker in Brazil.

“Dark hose” can be lucky

The "Bet & Go" allows, for example, to bet on the "dark horse" with just a few cents, win and still play with who was eliminated. In the game between Argentina and Saudi Arabia, held last Tuesday (22), the predictions indicated victory for the South Americans.

However, those who bet on the Saudi team ended up doing well by investing just US$ 0.55, guaranteeing a 94.5% discount on the entry price. The total prize pool for the match was US$ 16,000.

“This is a sport that is here to stay. It's a sensational initiative with a popular buy-in so everyone can play. ‘Bet & Go’ unites two passions of Brazilians, football and poker, bringing this great emotion of winning or not, of paying cheaper and competing. We liked the concept,” said the athlete and partner of GG Poker Brasil, Felipe Mojave, who is producing digital content directly from Qatar.
