888poker Rolls Out Summer Fest Featuring $8,000 in Prizes & Live Event Packages

The summer is here, and 888poker is ramping things up, giving players something to keep them busy over the next few weeks.

Running July 20 — August 23, 2026, the Summer Fest brings $8,000 in guaranteed prizes and opportunities to win packages to live events via special freerolls taking place every Sunday.

Each Summer Fest Freeroll features its own prize pool, while the top 100 finishers from each tournament also win tickets to a special freeroll satellite where four players will win packages to the upcoming 888poker LIVE London event.

Weekly Challenges Await

The Summer Fest was envisioned as a fun and inviting promotion for all players. To get a seat in a weekly freeroll, you just need to complete one of three challenges during the current week (Monday — Sunday). These challenges are easy to complete, giving all players an opportunity to get in the mix.

Weekly freerolls take place every Sunday at 7pm GMT, with the first one taking place on July 26.

As mentioned, players can choose from three different ways (challenges) to win their seats in a weekly freeroll, depending on their game preferences:

• The Cash Game Grinder — win 35 cash game hands over the course of the week. All stakes and variations (including PLO5 and PLO6) count.
• The Tournament Warrior — play tournaments with buy-ins totaling at least $35. It doesn’t matter how you combine the buy-ins as long as the total reaches $35, and BLAST games are included. How you do in these tournaments is not relevant.
• The Casino King/Queen — players can also win their freeroll seats by wagering at least $35 over the course of the week on their favorite casino games. Slots, blackjack, roulette, and other popular games are all included.

Completing any of these three challenges before the freeroll kickoff time on Sunday will secure your seat. Each tournament features a portion of the big $8,000+ prize pool guaranteed for the promotion and opportunities to qualify for the live satellite.

Four $2,500 Live Packages up for Grabs

In addition to the cash prizes, each Sunday freeroll will send 100 top finishers to the exclusive London Live Event Freeroll set to take place on August 26.

The satellite will award four packages worth $2,500 each for the upcoming 888poker LIVE London Main Event, covering the tournament buy-in and travel expenses.

The London Main Event takes place October 14 — 18, 2026, at the legendary VIC Poker Room, giving qualifiers plenty of time to prepare for the trip. The October festival will close out the 2026 888poker LIVE season, and if previous stops are anything to go by, it should be an exciting affair.

With five Sunday freerolls spread over the course of the next few weeks, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved and battle it out for cash prizes and live packages alike.
