Why Doesn’t GGPoker Offer Mixed Games, Even in 2026?

OPINION • As poker’s dominant online operator, GGPoker has embraced innovation across its platform, but mixed games continue to be left out. Why?

Faraz Jaka WSOP vlog, Day 4.

This time we follow along with the Monster Stack. To be honest, I totally forgot that Jaka had a vlog series over the WSOP.

If you have too, watch below.

PokerStars on FanDuel Ontario is ramping things up with their No Sweat Series.

Players can join daily freerolls, with a total of CAD $100,000 in prizes up for grabs. As Ivan puts it, “this is a great way to test the new platform, have some fun, and potentially kick-start your online poker bankroll.”

No buy-ins are needed, just tickets handed out by the operator. There are two dozen events running, with turbo and hyper turbo formats to keep things moving fast. The series even includes multiple $10,000 freerolls, so the value is real if you can snag a seat.

With no re-entries and a crowd that’s (so far) smaller than usual, this could be one of those rare freerolls where your odds don’t immediately evaporate. Check your account for tickets and see if you get lucky.

GGPoker: The king of online poker, but still no mixed games.

GGPoker is the biggest room in online poker, but as Anuj points out, it still refuses to offer mixed games.

Despite dominating the industry with its player traffic and software features, there is one glaring omission in its game selection.

Anuj finds it odd, noting that even with the liquidity and technology to support any format, mixed games remain absent.

“What makes the absence of mixed games even more surprising is the scale at which GGPoker now operates. This is not a company struggling to attract players or maintain liquidity.”

GGPoker has introduced all sorts of experimental formats, from Flip & Go to Mystery Battle Royale, but the classics are still missing. As the article points out, even in 2026, players seeking mixed games will need to look elsewhere.

High-stakes BLAST players can get up to 40 percent rakeback each week on 888poker.

Just bring at least 50 dollars to the table and keep playing, because the more you spend on fees, the more you get back.

What is wrong with people?

Another dealer error at the WSOP???

NOT AGAIN.

GTOWizard dives into strategies that were deemed fishy a decade ago which are now considered GTO.

This article is from Barry Carter, who knows a thing or two about poker strategy. (He’s written books, don’t you know.)

In a recent conversation with Andrew Brokos, he made the comment, “The fish were onto something,” when describing a particular solver strategy. At the end of last year, Liv Boeree made the final table of WSOP Paradise after a long break from the game, and she made a similar comment, saying, “It feels like the game has gone full circle, and it turns out everything the fish were doing back in 2008 was kind of OK.”

Huge congrats to Esther!

The WSOP $1,500 NLH Millionaire Maker is back for Day 3.

The field is still huge, the money is growing, and the tension is running high. According to the official WSOP channel, “every pot becomes more important,” which is a reminder that as the numbers dwindle, every decision at the table matters that much more.
