Complete a challenge by Sept 26 for a freeroll ticket; six live-event packages available on Sept 27.
Regular qualifying continues until Oct 4; festival runs Oct 8–18 at London's Victoria Casino.

888poker is adding a three-route challenge to its online qualification campaign for this year’s LIVE London festival.

The promotion will allow tournament, cash-game and BLAST players to earn tickets for a September 27 freeroll. Six live-event packages will be awarded across the international and Spanish platforms, while regular online qualifiers continue separately until October 4.

Three Ways to Reach the Freeroll

The challenge runs from September 5 through September 26.

Rather than forcing players into a single format, 888poker has divided the campaign into three objectives. Completing any one of them earns a ticket for the LIVE EVENT Freeroll.

Route	Target
Tournament route	Play 50 tournaments with minimum $5 buy-ins
Cash-game route	Win 500 hands
BLAST route	Play 75 games with minimum $5 buy-ins

The tournament and BLAST routes are based on overall volume. The cash-game challenge instead counts winning hands.

The freeroll follows on September 27 at 7:00 PM.

Four International and Two Spanish Packages

The package allocation is split between two markets.

The international freeroll carries four packages worth $2,500 apiece. The Spanish campaign will award two packages, each valued at €2,200.

Player Pool	Packages Available
International	Four packages worth $2,500 each
Spain	Two packages worth €2,200 each

The six freeroll packages sit alongside the seats and packages being distributed through 888poker’s regular online satellites.

Qualifiers Running Across August and September

The international qualification schedule began on August 3 and remains open until October 4.

Spain joins from August 31, after which both campaigns will run side by side until the same closing date.

Campaign Stage	Dates
International qualifiers	August 3–October 4
Spanish qualifiers	August 31–October 4
Challenge	September 5–26
LIVE EVENT Freeroll	September 27

That places the freeroll a week before the final online qualifiers and 11 days before the live festival opens.

What Is 888poker LIVE London?

888poker LIVE London is an 11-day poker festival taking place from October 8–18 at Grosvenor’s Victoria Casino.

The Vic will host the Main Event, a selection of side tournaments and live satellite action throughout the series. London is also the final destination on the main 888poker LIVE calendar for 2026.

The online campaign is therefore less a single promotion than a collection of qualification routes, stretching from early August until the weekend before the festival.
