GGPoker is closing the year with an unprecedented holiday rollout, announcing a $25 million End of Year Giveaway that spans the entire month of December. The package combines daily gift boxes, expanded cash-game rewards and a $1 million Flipout finale, forming one of the most substantial promotional lineups the online poker industry has seen.
The campaign runs December 1–31, with each segment targeting a different player type — from casual login rewards to leaderboard grinders and low-stakes tournament players.
A Closer Look at the $25M Structure
GGPoker has divided the December fund into several large components. Although the overall amount surpasses last year’s $24M commitment, the broad framework remains familiar.
12 Days of Christmas Boxes — $12M (Dec 15–26)
Players receive a gift box every day they log in during this window. Prizes include tournament tickets, C$, freeroll entries and other rewards.
Freerolls run daily between December 16 and 27, covering Hold’em, Omaha and Short Deck formats.
End of Year Flipout — $1M (Dec 27–31)
The month concludes with a multi-stage Flipout fed by GGCare and GGCheers entries. These are awarded for standout hands, bad beats and other notable table moments. Those who reach Stage 3 receive a guaranteed payout, with the final distribution taking place on New Year’s Eve.
Regular Monthly Giveaways — $12M Total
Beyond the Christmas-specific components, GGPoker maintains its usual monthly ecosystem rewards:
- Daily leaderboards & cash-game races: $7.4M
- #ThanksGG daily Flipouts: $2.6M
- New player incentives: $1M
- Tournament enhancements and microFestival add-ons: $1M
Interestingly, this “baseline” amount is slightly lower than November’s $14M, but the additional holiday elements make December a record month overall.
microFestival Adds $9.4M for Low-Stakes Tournament Players
GGPoker’s winter edition of microFestival runs alongside the broader promotion. The series features:
- 450+ tournaments
- Buy-ins under $11
- $9.4M guaranteed
- A two-day $10.80 Main Event with $1.5M GTD
The brand has historically positioned microFestival as the world’s largest micro-stakes series, and the winter schedule reinforces that claim.
Competitive December: How Other Operators Stack Up
All major poker rooms have December promotions, but none approach GGPoker’s scale:
- PokerStars launched a $2M Snowball campaign (Dec 1–Jan 5), combining progressive weekly draws with poker and casino missions.
- WPT Global is running a deposit-tier holiday offer (Dec 10–Jan 9), granting daily gifts based on a player’s single highest qualifying deposit. It has allocated up to $5M, subject to turnout.
Despite strong competition, GGPoker’s $25M figure — plus the breadth of formats it covers — clearly positions it at the top of this year’s holiday lineup.
