888poker Launches $8,000 Summer Fest Leading to 888poker LIVE London

The $8,000 Summer Fest operates on a weekly reset model. From Monday to Sunday, registered account holders can complete one of three accessible gameplay challenges to unlock a ticket to that week's exclusive freeroll.

• Promotion Window: July 20 – August 23, 2026

• Qualifying Days: Monday through Sunday (weekly)

• Weekly Freerolls: Every Sunday at 7:00 PM GMT (July 26 – August 16)

• London Final Freeroll: August 23, 2026, at 7:00 PM GMT

Players who prefer cash game action can qualify by winning 35 hands at eligible real-money tables during the weekly cycle. The stakes are intentionally capped at an entry level of $0.01/$0.02, ensuring micro-stakes grinders can compete on equal footing with higher-stakes players. 

In addition to standard No-Limit Hold'em, 888poker has extended eligibility to five-card and six-card Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO 5-6) variants.

For multi-table tournament enthusiasts, qualification is based on total entry fees expended throughout the week. Players must log a combined $35 or more in tournament buy-ins between Monday and Sunday.

The system permits complete flexibility in building this total:

• Entering thirty-five $1 tournaments

• Playing one $25 tournament paired with a $10 event

• Mixing standard scheduled MTTs with fast-paced BLAST jackpot sit-and-gos

Recreational players who enjoy table games and video slots can unlock their weekly freeroll pass via the casino lobby. Placing $35 or more in total bets across any casino games automatically fulfills the weekly challenge requirement, crediting the account with a freeroll entry.

Every Sunday at 7:00 PM GMT, 888poker hosts the weekly Summer Fest Freeroll. In addition to awarding direct cash prizes from the guaranteed pool, these events serve as feeder tournaments for the main prize pool. The top 100 finishers in each weekly freeroll automatically earn a ticket to the grand finale on August 23.

The promotion concludes on August 23, 2026, with the London Live Event Freeroll. Restricted exclusively to players who earned tickets through the weekly top-100 finishes, this final event will award four $2,500 live event packages.

The winners will travel to London to participate in the 888poker LIVE London Main Event, hosted at The VIC Poker Room (The Victoria Casino) from October 14–18, 2026.
