SWEEPS COIN EVENT WINNERS
For Sweeps Coin players, event winners stand to receive some of our classic Global Poker apparel—a hoodie, T-shirt and cap. We know it’s far too hot for hoodie season, but we’ve got you looking pretty fly for winter time, if we don’t say so ourselves.
LEADERBOARD WINNERS
Score the top spot in our Gold Coin Leaderboard, and you’ll get our sick Summer Series IV trophy and a bucketload of Summer Series IV swag, including a pretty impressive Global Poker hammock. Can you think of a better way to play Global Poker than dangling from a hammock? Answers on a postcard, please.
This summer’s Sweeps Coin Leaderboard winner won’t swim back to the pool empty handed. Literally.

We’ll also be sending you home with some of our classic Global Poker swag, and free SC entries to a Golden Scrimmage Tournament.
Check out our prize tables for a full breakdown.
AVATARS
