Sunday Sale Is Here Again
888poker is bringing back one of their most popular promotions, the Sunday Sale, throughout May. The promo gives players the opportunity to enter huge tournaments for just 50% of the price! While the entry fee is cut in half, 888poker sees to it that players can still take a shot at massive prizes by still maintaining the guarantees on offer.
Among tournaments with reduced buy-ins are the $100,000-guaranteed Mega Deep which now comes with a $55 entry fee, the $25,000 Monsoon which players can enter for just $27.50, and the $20,000 Whale whose buy-in has been cut to just $160. You may check out all the other tournaments available under Sunday Sale by logging on the client and clicking on the Tournament Tab.
The Dragon
888poker is also running a new tournament called “The Dragon”, with multiple starting flights taking place daily, Sunday through Friday. Survivors then meet again on Saturdays during which a weekly champion is crowned.
Players have two options to play The Dragon – they may choose the $30,000-guaranteed Mini Dragon which comes with a more affordable buy-in of $12, or they can jump into the $55 buy-in, with $50,000 in guarantees on offer.
Satellites are also running daily to help players qualify for the tournament for as low as $0.50 for the Mini Dragon, and $2.20 for the Dragon. So far, the tournament has been attracting huge fields, benefiting the small stakes grinders. The $50 version has been giving away five-figure top prizes, while the Mini version has enabled some players to turn their $12 investment into huge winnings.
Galaxy of Freerolls
Another exciting promotion from 888poker, the Galaxy of Freerolls, has also been extended to May. The freerolls started to run back in March, giving players the chance to win tickets to weekly freerolls by completing “Space Missions”. These missions were designed to be simple, such that more players get the opportunity to improve their bankroll.
If you want to pick up a ticket into the weekly $10,000 freeroll, simply accomplish at least two challenges each week. If you can complete 14 challenges throughout the duration of the promo, you’ll get yourself a seat to the $100,000 freeroll scheduled for June 7.
