What are these Private MTT's that I am seeing with one starting at 2PM EST?

Haven't seen those before.

Just bumping this once as I've seen several and I am just curious as to what they are, who is hosting them, etc.

i think its for the streamers, which is IMO bull****.

I'm wondering as well, Bump again.

It's probably the freeroll for the ads pokernews.com are running for new GP signups.

Also, who cares?

Obviously the OP.

No, not for new player sign ups, those are titled as such in the MTT Lobby.

Well you must care. You opened and are Reading and Responding to the thread

Well, there's the answer to my question:

Hello $$$$$,

Thank you for contacting Global Poker Customer Support.

We are not able to divulge any information about these tournaments. They were named that way as the particulars surrounding these tournaments were meant to be kept restricted and private.

We occasionally work with partner organizations to provide private tournaments for a select audience of their choosing. Participation in such tournaments is restricted and unfortunately, invitation is not available to all members of Global Poker as the promotion is owned by external parties.

We do, however, offer a great range of guaranteed tournaments in our regular schedule, for players of all levels, and we are constantly enhancing our offering.
