12 Days of Resolution
As mentioned, the start of the new year is usually the time when people, poker players included, come up with various decisions and resolutions, setting up certain goals they want to accomplish.
GGPoker is offering a helping hand with its 12 Days of Resolution promo, set to give away $2.26 million in prize money over the first couple of weeks of January. Players will be tasked with collecting stamps by completing daily missions to qualify for big-money Flipout tournaments.
The more stamps you collect during the qualifying period (Jan 1 — 12), the bigger the prize pool of your Flipout will be.
You just need to collect one stamp every day, and you can do so by playing Texas Hold’em, Short Deck, and Omaha cash games, tournaments, and Spin & Gold, so it’s really easy to complete the missions as long as you put in any kind of volume on the site during the period. Prize pools for the final Flipouts range from $100k (for collecting at least three stamps) up to 500k (for those players who collect all 12).
$5M Added to the Winter Giveaway Series
GGPoker’s big end-of-year event, the Winter Giveaway Series, running Dec 14 — Jan 27, features a cool $5,000,000 in extra prizes added to various prize pools across the board.
The value added to tournaments depends on their overall guarantee, ranging from $2,000 for $40k GTD events, all the way up to $150,000 for the flagship Lucky Fortune Mystery Bounty event that comes with a massive $3,000,000 base guarantee and a buy-in of just $54.
With large guarantees to kick things off and all the added value spread across the schedule, the Winter Giveaway Series is not one to miss, and although it’s been running for a couple of weeks already, there is still plenty of action left on the docket.
January Cash Game Giveaway & Big Leaderboards
Cash game players haven’t been forgotten. Over the course of January, GGPoker will be running a big cash game giveaway, dishing out over $13,000,000 in prize money. Prizes will be distributed across all stakes and game variations, so no one will be left out.
The giveaway will be active throughout the first month of the year, and the more you play, the more opportunities you’ll have to snag at least one of the prizes.
Finally, like every other month of the year, players can look forward to a myriad of leaderboards, awarding a total of $7.4 million in prize money. Hold’em, Omaha, Rush & Cash, Spin & Gold, Short Deck, All In or Fold — whatever your game may be, there is a leaderboard to go with it, dishing out some extra money for your efforts at the virtual felt.
