Where the official figures differ

  • Daily Guarantees: the hub says “at least $8,000,000” a week; the series page says “over $5,000,000”.
  • High Rollers: the series page says $7M a week; the hub states it as $30,000,000 a month.
  • GGMasters: the hub says $4,000,000 in guarantees every week, with buy-ins from $25 to $1,050. Ranking up 3–5 weeks in a row earns Master Rise Rewards of up to $1,650.
  • T$ Builder buy-ins: the series page lists $0.25, $0.50, $1 and $2; the hub lists $1, $2, $4 and $8.
  • Chinese Zodiac: the guarantee is shown with a “¥” sign, and Natural8 doesn't say which currency it means.

When figures conflict, go by the actual buy-in and guarantee of each event in the client.

Two bounty formats

FormatRules
Mystery Bounty50% of the buy-in goes to the prize pool, the rest to bounties; random bounties are paid only in the final phase, from blind level 18 of Day 1
Ocean KOA progressive KO where each elimination gets a random multiplier based on the eliminated player's “Character Level”, up to 400x and sometimes below 1x; knockout rewards are split half cash, half added to your own bounty

Entry fees and Sunday doubling

Tournaments charge an entry fee, not pot rake. Natural8's example: a $1 Omaholic is really $0.92 to the prize pool + $0.08 fee. T$ Builder charges no fee at all. Tournament fees count toward releasing the first-deposit Match Bonus; see our rake guide. On Sundays Natural8 advertises “all buy-ins and guarantees doubled”, and the big events cluster on that day.

Satellites and playing on a budget

  1. Start with freerolls. Signing up, making a first deposit and playing enough hands all earn freeroll tickets; see freerolls.
  2. Use satellites to punch above your bankroll. Natural8 has a dedicated satellites page for winning seats to big events with small buy-ins; APT Taipei has a full ladder, see the APT guide.
  3. Use the client features. Eligible events entered early come with Bubble Protection (your buy-in is refunded if you bust on the bubble), and Tournament Staking lets you sell or buy action in 1% steps with no fee.

There is no “Natural8 Open”. No such event appears in the official sitemap. If someone asks you to send money for a “Natural8 Open seat”, treat it as a scam.

FAQ

Where can I see the Natural8 tournament schedule?
The official pages we checked only describe each series. Start times, buy-ins and guarantees for individual events are in the tournament list in the client lobby. Players in Asia should look at the Chinese Zodiac series (1pm to 1am HKT).
What is the tournament rake on Natural8?
Tournaments don't take rake from pots; they charge an entry fee, shown in the lobby. Natural8's example: a $1 Omaholic = $0.92 buy-in + $0.08 fee. T$ Builder has no fee.
What is the Natural8 Cup Championship Freezeout?
There is no event by that name in the official series list we checked. Natural8's regular weekly freezeout (no re-entry) main event is GGMasters: $150 buy-in, $1M GTD.
How does Mystery Bounty work?
50% of the buy-in goes to the prize pool and the rest to bounties. Random bounties are paid only in the final phase, from blind level 18 of Day 1 onward.
Is there a Natural8 Open?
No. Natural8's official sitemap has no event page called Natural8 Open; claims online probably confuse it with APT or another series.
Are Daily Guarantees $8M or $5M a week?
The official figures disagree: the tournament hub says “at least $8,000,000” a week, while the Daily Guarantees series page says “over $5,000,000” a week. Go by the actual guarantees in the client.
