Most promos end in October; APT Online Leaderboard continues to November 2

GGPoker has announced its $18 million October Giveaway for 2026, featuring cash-game leaderboards, Bounty Hunters Series promotions, a $400,000 APT Online Leaderboard and a $1 million Halloween Party.

GGPoker has unveiled its $18 million October Giveaway for 2026, featuring cash-game rewards, Bounty Hunters Series promotions, an APT Online leaderboard and a Halloween-themed promotion.

The campaign begins on October 1 and continues throughout the month, with individual promotions following separate schedules.

The announced rewards include a $13 million October Cash Game Giveaway, a $2 million Bounty Hunters Series Cash Drop, a $1 million Bounty Hunters Series Daily Leaderboard, a $400,000 APT Online Leaderboard and a $1 million Halloween Party.

The October Giveaway on GGPoker consists of five main promotional categories, with rewards distributed through cash-game leaderboards, tournament eliminations, automatic Flipouts and Halloween-themed prizes.

$13 Million October Cash Game Giveaway Runs Throughout the Month

GGPoker has allocated an advertised $13 million to its October Cash Game Giveaway, which runs from October 1 to 31. The promotion covers cash-game leaderboards, GG Signature Promotions, newcomer rewards and tournament incentives.

The announced allocations include $7.5 million for cash-game leaderboards, $3 million for GG Signature Promotions, $2.2 million in newcomer rewards and $1 million for tournament promotions.

Although the October Cash Game Giveaway is advertised at $13 million, its four listed component allocations total $13.7 million.

$2 Million Bounty Hunters Series Cash Drop Offers Automatic Flipout Rewards

The Bounty Hunters Series Cash Drop takes place from October 2 to 23, with $2 million allocated to rewards.

Players participating in eligible cash games can earn Flipout Chips by winning pots that meet the minimum qualifying requirements.

The accumulated chips increase their starting stacks in automatic Flipouts, which are held every three hours.

Hold'em, PLO, Rush & Cash and Short Deck require a minimum winning pot of 50 big blinds. The requirement is reduced to 16 big blinds for All-In or Fold Hold'em and 10 big blinds for All-In or Fold Omaha.

Qualifying players receive Flipout Chips rather than an immediate cash reward, with their accumulated chips determining their starting stacks in the automatic Flipouts.

$1 Million Bounty Hunters Series Daily Leaderboard

GGPoker's Bounty Hunters Series Daily Leaderboard runs from October 4 to 27, distributing $1 million in rewards, including more than $40,000 in daily prizes.

Players earn leaderboard points by eliminating opponents in designated Bounty Hunters Series tournaments. Each daily competition begins at 08:00:00 UTC and concludes at 07:59:59 UTC the following day.

If multiple players finish with identical points totals, the player who reached the score first receives the higher position. Should a tie remain, the end time of the tournament in which the players reached their totals determines their final ranking.

Leaderboard rewards are distributed within 72 hours. Any tournament tickets awarded are transferable but cannot be exchanged for cash.

Players from certain jurisdictions, including the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, must opt in to qualify for the promotion.

$400,000 APT Online Leaderboard Extends Into November

The $400,000 APT Online Leaderboard begins on October 11 and runs until November 2, making it the only announced October Giveaway promotion scheduled to continue beyond the end of the month.

GGPoker has confirmed the leaderboard's dates and advertised reward allocation. However, the detailed scoring structure, individual prize distribution and specific eligibility requirements have not been provided.

$1 Million GGPoker Halloween Party Introduces Candy Collection Rewards

GGPoker's Halloween Party runs from October 24 to 31, with $1 million allocated to its Halloween-themed rewards.

The promotion allows eligible cash-game players to collect virtual Candies by receiving or encountering the Jack of Spades during play.

Players receive one Candy whenever they are dealt the Jack of Spades, regardless of whether they choose to play the hand. They can also collect one Candy when they are involved in a pot and the Jack of Spades appears among the community cards.

After accumulating 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 Candy collection, and exchanging more Candies increases the chance of receiving a larger prize.

Eligible Games and Candy Collection Deadline

The Halloween Party is available in All-In or Fold, Rush & Cash, Hold'em, PLO, PLO-5, PLO-6 and Short Deck.

Spin & Gold, Mystery Battle Royale, Flip & Go and tournaments are excluded from the promotion.

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.
