888 has some good news for all cash game grinders, as the Happy Hour Rakeback promo is back for another week. Running through October 6, the promo gives all players a chance to get 30% extra rakeback across all cash game tables during designated time slots.
This is one of the longstanding promotions at 888 Poker that the operator brings around every couple of months. It is aimed at regular cash game players first and foremost, but it also represents a great opportunity for anyone looking to test the waters and see what the action is like at 888 ring tables.
While most players will already have a pretty good idea of how things work, we bring you a quick rundown of the latest Happy Hour Rakeback promo in case you’re first hearing about it.
Extra Rakeback for Two Hours Every Day
During the Happy Hour Rakeback promo, 888 players will have a chance to claim an additional 30% of all of their rake back on all of their daily play from 17:00 to 19:00 GMT. The additional rakeback comes on top of any other rewards or bonuses active at the time.
There are no stake or game limits to worry about. The promo encompasses all cash game variations (Hold’em, PLO, and PLO 5) and all stake levels. The only condition is that a player needs to generate at least $10 in rake up to and including October 6.
There is no additional opt-in required to participate in the promotion. Happy Hour Rakeback will be active across all cash game tables on 888 during the announced time slots, and everyone playing during those periods qualifies automatically.
Once the promotion ends, players who qualify by generating at least $10 in rake will receive their additional rakeback rewards within 72 hours. These will be paid in cash, straight to players’ accounts, without any restrictions or additional playthrough requirements.
Fun October Awaits at 888
Poker players at 888 have a lot to look forward to this month. The operator is kicking things off in style with its popular Happy Hour Rakeback promo, but there is much more coming up over the next few weeks.
Tournament fans are in for a special treat, as the operator has something in store on the online and live fronts alike.
888 has recently wrapped up its XL Autumn Series as well, and that festival created quite a bit of buzz and a fair few big winners.
Not surprisingly, Main Events attracted the most attention. The $25 Mystery Main Event saw 2,272 entries, which was enough to break the tournament’s $50,000 guarantee. The eventual winner pocketed just a few bucks shy of $4,600.
The $250 Mystery Main Event attracted a total of 1,283 entries, resulting in a small overlay on the $300k guarantee. The final two players both took home over $35,000, combining their prize money and bounties collected along the way.
XL Autumn Series made for an exciting end to September over at 888, but the operator is continuing in the same rhythm for October, giving players plenty of reason to stick around.
