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

GGPoker has announced an $18 million October Giveaway for 2026, covering five promotional categories across October and early November.

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

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

$13 Million October Cash Game Giveaway Starts October 1

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

GGPoker lists four allocations:

$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.

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

Bounty Hunters Series Cash Drop Allocates $2 Million

The Bounty Hunters Series Cash Drop runs from October 2 to 23 with $2 million in rewards. Eligible cash-game players earn Flipout Chips by winning pots that meet qualifying thresholds. Accumulated chips determine starting stacks in automatic Flipouts held every three hours.

Hold'em, PLO, Rush & Cash and Short Deck require players to win a pot worth at least 50 big blinds. The threshold is 16 big blinds for All-In or Fold Hold'em and 10 big blinds for All-In or Fold Omaha.

Flipout Chips are awarded instead of immediate cash rewards.

$1 Million Bounty Hunters Daily Leaderboard Begins October 4

The Bounty Hunters Series Daily Leaderboard runs from October 4 to 27 and distributes $1 million, including more than $40,000 in daily prizes.

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

Each daily period runs from 08:00:00 UTC until 07:59:59 UTC the following day. If players finish level on points, the player who reached the total first ranks higher. If a tie remains, the tournament end time in which the points total was reached determines the final position.

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 runs from October 11 to November 2 and carries an advertised $400,000 reward allocation.

It is the only announced October Giveaway promotion scheduled to continue beyond October. GGPoker has not provided the detailed scoring system, individual prize distribution or specific eligibility requirements.

$1 Million Halloween Party Runs October 24 to 31

The Halloween Party runs from October 24 to 31 with $1 million allocated to Halloween-themed rewards.

Eligible cash-game players collect virtual Candies when the Jack of Spades appears. One Candy is awarded when a player is dealt the Jack of Spades, regardless of whether the hand is played.

A Candy is also awarded when the player is involved in a pot and the Jack of Spades appears among the community cards.

Players collecting at least 10 Candies 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, while exchanging more Candies increases the chance of receiving a larger prize.

Eligible games are 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. All 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.
