XL Spring Series
Apparently, standard payouts just aren't cutting it in 2026. The 888poker XL Spring Series is currently underway, and the Mystery Bounty format has completely taken over the client. With over $1.5 million in guaranteed prize money on the line between May 3 and May 12, the room has structured the bulk of their 60-event schedule to include massive randomized envelopes. 

Here is what the bounty hunt looks like during the 888poker XL Spring Series.

The Rakeless Revolution

The absolute centerpiece of the festival is the $250 buy-in RAKELESS Mystery Main Event. Boasting a staggering $500,000 guarantee, 888poker has dropped the tournament fee entirely. 

Day 1s have been running all week and will continue daily until the Day 2 finale on May 11. For those on a stricter bankroll, the $25 Mystery Mini Main offers a $50,000 guarantee with the same multi-flight format.

Upcoming Mystery Bounty Highlights

If you want to pull a golden envelope before the series wraps up, you have plenty of opportunities left on the schedule:
