Structure, schedule & formats
KO Games runs online on 888poker from 14. do 18. november, squeezed into five action-packed days so grinders can load up a serious schedule without blocking a whole month. The series brings 27 tournaments, all in NLHE knockout formats except for one spicy PLO5 Mystery Bounty Special, with buy-ins starting around 5.50 $ and climbing up to a 1.050 $ Super High Roller PKO for those who want to battle at the very top.
The absolute centerpiece is the 109 $ RAKELESS Mystery Main Event with 200.000 $ GTD. Day 1 flights are already running daily at 16:00 a 19:00 UTC, each playing 20 levels or down to 12 % of the field, with all survivors meeting in a combined Day 2 on 17. novembra o 21:30 UTC and the final table set for 18. november. This gives you multiple chances to bag a stack while never paying rake on the buy-in itself – every chip you put in goes straight into the prize pool.
Around the Main Event, the schedule is packed with themed “Daily Gems” KO and Mystery Bounty tournaments: low- and mid-stakes events at 11 $, 22 $, 33 $ and 55 $, 109 $ high-stakes PKO shots, a 25 $ Mystery Bounty Mini Event with 50.000 $ GTD, plus a 215 $ High Roller PKO for serious regulars. There is even a 16.50 $ PLO5 Mystery Bounty Special on 15. novembra at 17:00 UTC for players who love five-card chaos. Getting in does not have to be expensive. You can qualify for the 109 $ RAKELESS Mystery Main Event through 16.50 $ satellites and freerolls running directly in the client, letting you spin up a Main Event bullet for a fraction of the price – or even for free if you bink a seat in a freeroll. Just open the tournament lobby and look for KO Games satellites feeding into Event #22.

Why KO Games is unmissable for serious grinders
A 500.000 $ GTD knockout series compressed into five days is already a big draw, but a rake-free 200.000 $ GTD Mystery Main Event takes it to another level. Rake usually eats into your ROI; here the full 109 $ buy-in goes into the prize pool, which means more money returned to players and deeper value for anyone who puts in volume. In a Mystery Bounty format, that value is amplified by random big bounties – any elimination can mean a life-changing spin in the prize reveal.
On top of pure value, the series is a dream for strategy-minded players. PKO and Mystery Bounty structures reward aggressive, well-timed pressure, creative reshoves and fearless blind-vs-blind battles. Short, clearly defined scheduling blocks make table selection easy: you can plan low-stake volume grinds, focus on mid-stakes where fields are softer, or anchor your sessions around the Main Event flights and key High Roller events. However you approach it, KO Games is built for multi-tabling, experimentation and rapid bankroll shots.
Because buy-ins range from micro-friendly to nosebleed, bankroll management is fully in your hands. You can start in 11 $ and 22 $ “Daily Gems”, satellite into the 109 $ Main, and then decide if you want to take a one-time shot at the 320 $ or 1.050 $ events once you are comfortable. Satellites, freerolls and multi-flight structures all work in your favour – more paths to Day 2, more chances to hit a mystery envelope, more opportunities to turn one bullet into a serious series score.
KO Games also runs alongside 888poker’s Global Poker League freeroll series, where online success can turn into live packages for 888poker LIVE stops – extra upside for players who want both online and live action from the same bankroll. Registering now and take a direct route into this ecosystem of online KOs, satellites and freeroll paths to the live circuit.
