Achieve Historic ROI's
Seasoned Poker veterans know the most cost-efficient way to participate in tournaments is via satellites. Satellites to almost all GGS events run around the clock prior to and during GGS. Registering for a 'Sub Satellite to GGS Championship' for a mere $5 may even lead to a shot at $250K in guaranteed prize money and an astronomical ROI of 850,000%!
Get familiar with the types of satellites we have on offer - there are 5 in total:
Super Satellites: multiple tickets up for grabs, begin 3 hours before target events, slow structures
Satellites: standard structures and begin 2 hours before target events
Final Satellites: begin 1 hour before target events, and play as turbos
Sub Satellites: feeders to Daily Satellites with fast structures
Daily Satellites: $500 tickets to the 'GGS Championship $250K GTD' up for grabs, slow structures

Selling Action
Tournament Staking has been around since the inception of Tournament Poker, and Staking sites are more popular now than ever before. Selling action provides a means for players to reduce their variance, exercise proper bankroll management, gain entry to tournaments otherwise out of their reach, as well as add a fun, social element to the game. Conversely buying action not only provides a good sweat, but in some cases can be extremely lucrative.
MTT specialists will be delighted to hear that GGNetwork has its very own in-house Staking system, made available to all players. No need to go through a 3rd party website which charges you for Tournament Staking. Players are free to buy and sell as much action as they please, at whatever markup they desire, entirely cost-free! And it really couldn't be any easier:
1. Register for a tournament of your choice
2. Click on the 'Sell My Action' tab at the bottom of the Tournament Lobby
3. Set how much action you want to sell, markup, and write a short message to potential backers.
4. Check back later to see how much of your action has been bought and by whom. If you're action isn't being bought, you may want to reduce your markup.

Be on the Lookout for Overlays
One more pro tip: while you're putting in your 215 requisite Cash Games hands, to earn your shot at free GGS tickets, also be on the lookout for Overlay Notifications. These notifications will show up at the top right of your screen whenever there's an overlay at hand. Overlays at GGNetwork are rare, but do happen on occasion, so be quick to act on these opportunities to make the very most out of your hard-earned chips.
Overlays = Free money, but be quick to act
