How to Qualify for a $2,500 London Live Trip via 888poker’s $8,000 Summer Fest

888poker has unveiled its summer calendar centerpiece, launching the $8,000 Summer Fest today, July 20, 2026. Designed to cater to cash game specialists, tournament regulars, and casino players alike, the campaign runs through August 23 and provides a direct promotional pathway to the 888poker LIVE festival in London this October.

Players can secure their weekly freeroll seats by completing any single objective listed below between Monday and Sunday:

The cash game objective requires players to win 35 hands in real-money cash games. Key parameters include:

• Accessible Stakes: Micro-stakes starting at $0.01/$0.02 qualify fully.

• Expanded Variants: Action across five-card and six-card Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO 5-6) counts toward the 35-hand target alongside standard No-Limit Hold'em tables.

For players focused on multi-table structures, qualification relies on cumulative entry fees. Logging $35 or more in total tournament buy-ins within the weekly window secures the freeroll ticket.

• Players can spread volume across micro-stakes events or clear the goal in a single higher-stakes tournament.

• High-speed, jackpot-style BLAST Sit & Gos count fully toward the $35 volume requirement.

Cross-vertical players can fulfill their requirement directly inside the 888poker casino client. Placing $35 in total wagers across table games or slot machines between Monday and Sunday unlocks that week's freeroll pass.

Each weekly freeroll kicks off at 7:00 PM GMT on Sundays (July 26, August 2, August 9, and August 16). Beyond the cash prizes distributed in each freeroll, the top 100 players from each edition win a ticket to the London Live Event Freeroll on August 23.

The four winners of the August 23 finale will receive a comprehensive $2,500 travel and tournament package designed for the 888poker LIVE London festival:

• Main Event Entry: £1,250 buy-in ticket to the 888poker LIVE London Main Event.

• Venue: The VIC Poker Room (The Victoria Casino), London.

• Tournament Dates: October 14–18, 2026.

• Travel Stipends: $500 credited for hotel accommodations, $300 for travel costs, with any remaining balance deposited straight into the player's account cashier.
