Great Poker League

In February 2006, the Great Poker League (GPL) was launched to keep track of player rankings for everyone playing qualifying multi-table poker tournaments on the Boss Poker Network. Seven months later, the GPL has become the largest multi-room poker league on the internet, with more than 30,000 players currently listed.

Why are so many players signing up to be part of the Great Poker League? Well, simply because they stand to profit from doing so. The GPL pays out a whopping $50,000 prize pool. The player at the top of the league at the end of each month wins $1,500. The player finishing in second place wins $750. And prizes of decreasing amounts run all the way down to twentieth place, where the award is $25.

In addition to monthly prizes, the GPL also pays out annual awards. The player ending the year at the top of the league wins $3,000, the second-placer wins $1,500 and the third $1,000. Prizes are paid down to the fiftieth place, which pays $25.

The Boss Poker Network is huge, and includes popular poker rooms such as Virgin, CelebPoker and PokerHeaven. There is no need to register to be included in the rankings, but becoming a Great Poker League member qualifies you to receive one of the cash prizes if you finish each month or year in an appropriate position.

Apart from it's sheer size, another thing that puts the "great" into the Great Poker League is the cost to members, which is precisely nothing. It doesn't cost one penny to sign up, so joining really is the ultimate no-brainer for anyone who players multi-table poker tournaments with a Boss Poker Network site on a regular basis.
