Natural8’s microFestival 2026 is scheduled to run from June 21 to July 5, 2026, bringing two weeks of online micro-stakes tournaments with buy-ins starting from $1.
The series features millions in prizes and is promoted by Natural8 as one of the biggest micro-stakes festivals in online poker. Natural8 also highlights its player community of more than 2 million as part of the event’s appeal. The schedule focuses on accessible buy-ins, daily tournament options, and the headline Mystery Bounty Main Event.
Second Chance Freerolls Add $100,000 in Guarantees
The series also includes Daily Second Chance Freerolls, with $100,000 in total freeroll guarantees available during microFestival 2026.
Players who enter a microFestival tournament and miss the ITM stage will receive a Daily $3K GTD Freeroll ticket. Each ticket is valid for 72 hours, but cannot be used on the same day it is received.
For players who fall short of the money, the freeroll ticket provides another shot at a guaranteed prize pool during the festival.
$1.5M GTD Mystery Bounty Main Event Leads the Schedule
The headline event is the $1.5M GTD Mystery Bounty Main Event, with Natural8 listing the direct buy-in at less than $11.
The Main Event features daily flights, giving players multiple chances to build a stack for Day 2. Mystery bounties unlock on Day 2, adding the bounty element after players advance from the opening flights.
Full Schedule Available in the Natural8 Lobby
Natural8 says microFestival 2026 will run across two full weeks, with tournaments arranged for different time zones and poker variants.
The full event line-up, formats, and satellite options are available in the Natural8 App tournament lobby.
