GGPoker End of Year Giveaway
GGPoker is closing out 2025 the same way it started the year: loudly, confidently, and with a prize total that makes most festivals look under-funded. The operator has confirmed a record-setting $25 million End-of-Year Giveaway, running from December 1 to December 31.

And while “holiday spirit” is a phrase that gets overused this time of year, GGPoker’s Managing Director Sarne Lightman at least kept the sentiment grounded:

We are thrilled to bring back our End of Year Giveaway, making it bigger and better than ever with a record $25M in prizes.

Below is a full breakdown of what December looks like inside the world’s biggest poker room.

12 Days of Christmas Gift Boxes

Running December 15–26, the Christmas Gift Boxes return with a particularly broad collection of rewards. Any player who logs in and opens their daily box receives a surprise that can include:

  • Cash rewards denominated in C$

  • Tournament entries

  • Freeroll tickets

  • “Snowball Splash” items designed to spice up winter grind sessions


There’s no gameplay requirement. If you can log in and click a button, you’re in.

The $1M #Thanks2025 Flipout

From December 27–31, GGPoker hosts its annual Flipout, a fast, generally chaotic, and occasionally life-changing event built entirely for qualifiers from the GGCheers and GGCares programs.


Qualification is intentionally painless: reach Stage 3, and you automatically secure a piece of the $1,000,000 prize pool. The tournament itself will decide how large that piece is.


This is GGPoker’s version of an end-credits scene, a big finale after the month’s other giveaways run their course.

$12 Million in December Cash Giveaways

The backbone of the promotion is the $12M allocated to cash game players, tournament regulars, and newcomers. This amount is split across multiple systems:

Daily Leaderboards: $7.4M Total

Covering Hold’em, PLO, Spin & Gold, and Rush & Cash, the daily races have been boosted from $6.5M in 2024 to $7.4M this year, continuing the operator’s annual escalation in leaderboard support.

Other Giveaways: $4.6M

This pool covers:
  • #ThanksGG Daily Flipouts
  • Rewards for new players
  • An additional $1M tied to special tournament promotions

It’s an ecosystem of small, medium, and large boosts, ensuring that even casual players touch some part of the $25M distribution.
