In the run up to the end of year holiday season, there are usually a number of promotions attempting to keep players’ minds on poker. One of the first December promotions to be announced is iPoker’s Winter Sale.

From December 1 to December 7, the daily “Grand” tournaments and the $100k guaranteed “Big Sunday” event will offer a discounted entry fee.

The guarantees for these events remain the same, but the entry fee is reduced—the low price/high guarantee formula generally makes for a high turnout and the possible overlay has been a rare event.
