  • Ocean Rewards replaces Fish Buffet on Jan 30, 2026.
  • Players can earn up to 80% cashback with yearly status.
  • Automatic transition for existing players, rewarding loyalty.

GGPoker Ocean Rewards is the brand's new player loyalty program, replacing the Fish Buffet from January 30, 2026.

The Ocean Rewards program offers players the chance to earn up to 80% cashback, a substantial increase from the previous 60% cap of the Fish Buffet.

The new program rewards consistent play over the long term for members playing GGPoker tables on a regular basis.

The Ocean Rewards will replace the existing Fish Buffet program on January 30 when it is officially launched for customers.

Key Benefits of Ocean Rewards include:

Higher Cashback: Players will be able to receive up to 80% cashback, with improved rates available across all tiers

Guaranteed Yearly Status: Unlike the previous program, which focused on shorter timeframes, Ocean Rewards allows players to lock in their tier status until the end of the following year, providing greater peace of mind and stability

Simplified Earning: Players earn Tide Points and Gems through play. As players reach higher tiers - ranging from Fish to Shark - the rate at which Gems are earned increases, following the simple motto: "Collect more, Earn more"

In a press release announcing the upcoming launch, Sarne Lightman, Managing Director of GGPoker, said: "With Ocean Rewards, we are taking our commitment to players to the next level. We wanted to move away from the short-term grind and create a program that truly honors loyalty with long-term security.

"By offering guaranteed yearly status and raising the cashback ceiling to an industry-leading 80%, we ensure that every player - whether a casual enthusiast or a dedicated professional - gets more value than ever before. This is the evolution of rewards our community deserves."

The transition for existing players on January 30 will be automatic. Players do not need to take any action to opt in. Existing Fish Buffet rewards will be automatically cashed out to player balances, and accounts will be instantly upgraded to their new Ocean Rewards tier.

New players completing GGPoker registration from January 30 will automatically be able to join the new rewards program. 

If you are not a member, you can join using the GGPoker bonus code NEWBONUS.
