If you have ever wanted to play for serious money without risking a cent, GGPoker’s new promotion might be your golden ticket.
Starting Saturday October 18, the world’s biggest online poker room is launching a brand-new Weekly $100K Freeroll, giving players the chance to win a share of the six-figure prizepool every single week, completely free.
There is no catch here — no buy-in, no tricky fine print. The promotion is open to both new and existing players, and there is no set end date, meaning this could become a long-running feature on GGPoker.
Every week, the site will host a $100,000 Weekly Freeroll on Saturdays, but players need to earn a seat to get in. There are plenty of ways to qualify.
“We are incredibly excited to launch the Weekly $100K Freeroll, offering our players an unparalleled opportunity to compete for a massive prize pool with no buy-in required,” said Sarne Lightman, Managing Director of GGPoker, in a recent press release.

How to Enter the $100K Weekly Freeroll
Players can win their way in by playing daily freerolls, which run twice a day from Sunday to Friday. Win a seat there, and players make their way in the big Saturday event.
Alternatively, players can qualify by depositing a total of $500 or more during the week, playing 1,000 real-money cash game hands, or referring a friend who joins and makes their first deposit — in which case, both the player and their friend get a ticket.
If a player is new to GGPoker, things get even better. Every new player automatically receives three daily freeroll tickets, and depositing once gives them three more. Even casual players who just play 100 real-money hands will earn an extra ticket.
Each daily freeroll gives away thousands of seats to the main event, the first one awards around 2,000 seats and the second one 4,000, meaning there are tens of thousands of chances every week to get in.
Freerolls are nothing new, but what makes this one special is its scale and simplicity. Players can qualify in multiple ways, play daily events with no buy-in, and have a shot at a $100,000 prize pool every Saturday, all without spending a penny if they don’t want to.
“This promotion is designed to both reward our loyal community and welcome new players, making poker more accessible and exciting than ever. With multiple ways to qualify daily, everyone has a shot at playing for a tasty score each Saturday,” Lightman added.
Big Freerolls Making a Comeback
Interestingly, GGPoker’s announcement comes just days after WPT Global ran its own freeroll series with a total of $2 million in free prizes. That promotion runs only for a limited time, while GGPoker’s version looks designed to stick around, potentially adding up to $5.2 million in freeroll prize money per year if it continues weekly.
It is clear that freerolls are making a big comeback in online poker. After years where such massive free events became rare, sites are once again using them to welcome new players and reward loyal ones.
In fact, GGPoker itself has come up with a new freeroll promotion for players in the UK and Ireland — the £2K Face-Off Freeroll. New signups on GGPoker UK between October 1 and November 30 receive an exclusive ticket to weekday freerolls running daily at 8 PM UK time. The launch ties in with GGPoker’s latest regional marketing push, featuring TV and billboard campaigns starring well-known English comedian Johnny Vegas.
For poker fans, this is a dream opportunity, a chance to play for real money with zero risk. Whether you’re new to the game or already a regular on GGPoker, the Weekly $100K Freeroll or the Face-Off Freeroll, gives everyone a reason to jump back into the action.
The first event kicks off October 18, so if you don’t already have a GGPoker account, now’s the time to sign up and grab your freeroll tickets. With multiple ways to qualify and huge prize pools on the line, this is one promotion that’s too good to miss.
