As the calendar winds down on another record year, WPT Global isn’t slowing the action. Instead, the operator is ramping up an end‑of‑year schedule that blends festive guaranteed prize boosts with seats to one of Canada’s most anticipated live tourneys.
At the heart of the lineup is the brand‑new Countdown to 2026 promotion, a 12‑day festival that adds free prize money to daily tournaments — no registrations, vouchers, or opt‑ins required. Running right alongside it are online satellites to the WPT® Global Winter Classic, where qualifiers can parlay entry fees as low as $5 into a shot at huge CAD‑denominated titles and live play at the famed Playground Montréal.
These headline offers join an already stacked December calendar for WPT Global. Between a $5 Million Holiday Giveaway and the still‑running 30% PLO Rakeback program, the platform is closing 2025 by giving players multiple ways to profit before the new year even begins.

Countdown to 2026: 12 Days of Added Value
Launching on December 20 and running through December 31, the Countdown to 2026 is simple, transparent, and high‑impact. Over those 12 days, WPT Global will run 12 guaranteed‑prize MTTs every day, for a total of 144 tournaments to round out the year.
Each of those events will have 10% added to its guaranteed prize pool — automatically, with no opt‑in required and no fine print. The extra prize money is applied whether the tournament meets its posted guarantee or not.
It’s an easy sell for any player segment: more value, more prizes, more action — and a feel‑good send‑off to 2025.

Qualify Online for the WPT® Global Winter Classic
Kicking off December 21, 2025 and running through January 25, 2026, WPT Global’s online satellites are now open for the WPT® Global Winter Classic, culminating in some of the best poker in Canada with the live action taking place at the Playground Montréal.
Main Event — $600,000 CAD GTD
Players can earn seats starting from just $5 feeders, working through a $5 → $55 → $220 → $1,150 progression. Every outright winner of a $220 satellite secures a $120,000 CAD Golden Ticket and a Main Event package. The Main Event features two OnLive Day 1s (January 18 and January 25) with qualifiers advancing to Day 2 on February 1 at Playground Montréal.
Mystery Bounty — $250,000 CAD GTD
This fan‑favorite format has a slightly shorter route — $5 → $55 → $350 — with $55 Sunday Qualifiers running weekly from December 21 to January 18 and daily $5 feeders. The single OnLive Day 1 is set for January 18, and Day 2 moves to the live tables at Playground just weeks later.
Together, these events open an accessible gateway to one of the premier live poker destinations in North America, wrapping online convenience around a full‑scale live championship structure.
Other Promotions Heating Up December
WPT Global’s year‑end frenzy doesn’t stop with the Countdown and Winter Classic. Players can still take advantage of two major ongoing offers:
The Holiday Giveaway
WPT Global’s $5 Million Holiday Giveaway provides freerolls, leaderboard prizes, and deposit‑based bonuses for regulars and returning players alike. It’s designed to keep engagement high and ensure that even casual users get a slice of the seasonal rewards.
30% PLO Rakeback
Running from December 5 to January 5, the 30% PLO Rakeback promotion is one of the most straightforward cashback systems in poker today.
- Applies to all PLO4 and PLO5 tables
- No caps, no minimums, no conditions
- Rakeback paid every Monday at 2 PM CET
Whether you’re grinding microlimits or taking shots at high stakes, every euro raked puts tangible cash back in your account the following week.
Why WPT Global Is the Place to Play This Winter
Taken together, this trio of seasonal promotions offers something for everyone: freerolls for newcomers, guaranteed tournaments with added value for grinders, and direct paths to major live events for aspirational pros.
Instead of phasing down during the holidays, WPT Global has built a December lineup that rewards volume, loyalty, and excitement — sending players into 2026 with more prize money, more options, and more reasons to play.
