GGPoker's $18 million October Giveaway for 2026 features five promotions covering cash games, Bounty Hunters Series rewards, an APT Online leaderboard and Halloween prizes.

GGPoker has announced an $18 million October Giveaway for 2026, featuring five promotions across cash games, the Bounty Hunters Series, APT Online and Halloween-themed rewards. The schedule begins on October 1 and continues into early November.

The advertised allocations include $13 million for the October Cash Game Giveaway, $2 million for the Bounty Hunters Series Cash Drop, $1 million for the Bounty Hunters Series Daily Leaderboard, $400,000 for the APT Online Leaderboard and $1 million for the Halloween Party.

Rewards are distributed through cash-game leaderboards, tournament eliminations, automatic Flipouts and Halloween-themed prizes.

$13 Million October Cash Game Giveaway

The October Cash Game Giveaway runs from October 1 to 31 with an advertised $13 million in rewards.

GGPoker has listed four components:

$7.5 million for cash-game leaderboards
$3 million for GG Signature Promotions
$2.2 million in newcomer rewards
$1 million for tournament promotions

The cash-game leaderboards cover Spin & Gold, Rush & Cash, Hold'em, Omaha, All-In or Fold, Short Deck, Mystery Battle Royale and Flip & Go.

Although the promotion is advertised at $13 million, the four listed allocations total $13.7 million. Detailed eligibility requirements and individual reward distributions for GG Signature Promotions, newcomer rewards and tournament promotions have not been specified.

Bounty Hunters Series Cash Drop Offers $2 Million

The Bounty Hunters Series Cash Drop runs from October 2 to 23 with $2 million allocated to the promotion.

Eligible cash-game players earn Flipout Chips by winning qualifying pots. The chips accumulate and determine each player's starting stack in automatic Flipouts held every three hours.

Hold'em, PLO, Rush & Cash and Short Deck players must win a pot worth at least 50 big blinds. The minimum 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 immediate cash rewards.

$1 Million Bounty Hunters Series Daily Leaderboard

The 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.

Players earn leaderboard points by eliminating opponents in designated Bounty Hunters Series tournaments.

Each daily period begins at 08:00:00 UTC and ends at 07:59:59 UTC the following day. If players finish with the same points total, the player who reached that total first receives the higher position.

If the tie remains, the end time of the tournament in which the players reached their points total determines the final ranking.

Rewards are distributed within 72 hours. Tournament tickets are transferable but cannot be exchanged for cash. Players in certain jurisdictions, including the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, must opt in to qualify.

$400,000 APT Online Leaderboard Extends Into November

The APT Online Leaderboard begins on October 11 and runs until November 2, making it the only announced October Giveaway promotion extending beyond October. GGPoker has confirmed an advertised $400,000 reward allocation.

The 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 through appearances of the Jack of Spades.

Players receive one Candy whenever they are dealt the Jack of Spades, regardless of whether they play the hand.

One Candy is also awarded 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 Candy collection, and exchanging more Candies increases the chance of receiving a larger prize.

Eligible Halloween Party Games

The 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. Any remaining balance of at least 10 Candies will then be exchanged automatically for prizes. Candies have no cash value and cannot be transferred between players.
