- Most promos end in October; APT Online Leaderboard continues to November 2
GGPoker’s $18 million October Giveaway for 2026 includes cash-game rewards, Bounty Hunters Series promotions, an APT Online leaderboard and Halloween prizes.
GGPoker has announced an $18 million October Giveaway for 2026, with five promotional categories scheduled across October and into early November.
The campaign includes cash-game rewards, Bounty Hunters Series promotions, an APT Online leaderboard and a Halloween-themed promotion.
The October Cash Game Giveaway carries an advertised $13 million allocation, while the Bounty Hunters Series Cash Drop and Daily Leaderboard offer $2 million and $1 million respectively.
The schedule also includes a $400,000 APT Online Leaderboard and the $1 million Halloween Party.
The first promotion begins on October 1. Most conclude before the end of the month, while the APT Online Leaderboard runs until November 2.
Rewards across the five categories are distributed through cash-game leaderboards, tournament eliminations, automatic Flipouts and Halloween-themed prizes.
$13 Million October Cash Game Giveaway Runs From October 1
The October Cash Game Giveaway runs from October 1 to 31 with an advertised $13 million in rewards.
GGPoker has listed four components within the promotion:
- $7.5 million for cash-game leaderboards
- $3 million for GG Signature Promotions
- $2.2 million in newcomer rewards
- $1 million for tournament promotions
Detailed eligibility requirements and individual reward distributions for the GG Signature Promotions, newcomer rewards and tournament promotions have not been specified.
Bounty Hunters Series Cash Drop Offers $2 Million in Rewards
The Bounty Hunters Series Cash Drop is scheduled from October 2 to 23, with $2 million allocated to the promotion.
Eligible cash-game players can earn Flipout Chips by winning pots that meet minimum qualifying requirements. These chips are added together to determine a player's starting stack in automatic Flipouts held every three hours.
Players in Hold'em, PLO, Rush & Cash and Short Deck must win a pot worth at least 50 big blinds. The threshold is 16 big blinds in All-In or Fold Hold'em and 10 big blinds in All-In or Fold Omaha.
Qualifying players receive Flipout Chips rather than an immediate cash reward, with accumulated chips determining their starting stacks when the automatic Flipouts take place.
$1 Million Bounty Hunters Series Daily Leaderboard Starts October 4
GGPoker's Bounty Hunters Series Daily Leaderboard runs from October 4 to 27 and distributes $1 million in rewards, including more than $40,000 in daily prizes.
Leaderboard points are earned by eliminating opponents in designated Bounty Hunters Series tournaments.
$2 Million Bounty Hunters Series Cash Drop Offers Automatic Flipout Rewards
Each daily leaderboard period starts at 08:00:00 UTC and ends at 07:59:59 UTC the following day. When two or more players finish with the same number of points, the player who reached the total first receives the higher ranking.
If a tie remains, the end time of the tournament in which the players reached their points total is used to determine the final position.
Rewards are distributed within 72 hours. Tournament tickets awarded through the promotion are transferable but cannot be exchanged for cash.
Players in certain jurisdictions, including the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, are required to opt in to qualify for the leaderboard.
$400,000 APT Online Leaderboard Runs Until November 2
The APT Online Leaderboard begins on October 11 and continues until November 2, making it the only announced October Giveaway promotion scheduled to extend beyond October.
GGPoker has confirmed a $400,000 advertised reward allocation for the leaderboard. The detailed scoring system, individual prize distribution and specific eligibility requirements have not been provided.
$1 Million Halloween Party Introduces Candy Rewards
The GGPoker Halloween Party runs from October 24 to 31, with $1 million allocated to Halloween-themed rewards.
Eligible cash-game players collect virtual Candies based on appearances of the Jack of Spades during play.
A player receives one Candy whenever they are dealt the Jack of Spades, whether or not they choose to play the hand. One Candy can also be collected when a player is involved in a pot and the Jack of Spades appears among the community cards.
After collecting at least 10 Candies, players can exchange them through the Trick-or-Treat Mystery Pumpkin for a chance to receive prizes worth up to $1,000.
There is no limit on the number of Candies that can be collected. Exchanging more Candies increases the chance of receiving a larger prize.
Eligible Halloween Party Games
The Halloween promotion is available across:
- All-In or Fold
- Rush & Cash
- Hold'em
- PLO
- PLO-5
- PLO-6
- Short Deck
Spin & Gold, Mystery Battle Royale, Flip & Go and tournaments are excluded. All Halloween Party rewards are paid in C$.
Players can collect and exchange Candies until 23:59 UTC-8 on October 31, 2026. After the deadline, any remaining balance of at least 10 Candies will automatically be exchanged for prizes. Candies have no cash value and cannot be transferred between players.
