888poker Gives Away 30 UKPL Main Event Seats
The special promotion offers eligible UK-based players the chance to win one of 30 seats in the £560 UKPL Main Event through a dedicated freeroll.
According to the published promotion details, players need to complete 40 qualifying online tournaments between November 8 and November 28. Each tournament must have a buy-in of at least $5, and BLAST tournaments also count towards the challenge.
Here's how it works:
- Play on 888poker: Complete 40 qualifying tournaments between November 8 and November 28.
- Meet the requirements: Each tournament must have a buy-in of at least $5. BLAST tournaments are eligible too.
- Qualify for the freeroll: Complete the challenge to earn entry to the December 6 freeroll, starting at 7:00 p.m. GMT.
- Win your seat: Finish in the top 30 to secure a £560 Main Event entry.
That's £16,800 in Main Event entries available through the promotion. Not a bad return for putting in some online volume.

One Last UKPL Showdown Before 2027
The 888LIVE UKPL Grand Final brings the 2026 season to a close with six days of tournament poker in Coventry. The £100,000 Main Event is the obvious headline attraction, but the Opening Voyage, High Roller and side events provide plenty of alternatives.
Players can qualify through Grosvenor Poker satellites, take advantage of the 888poker freeroll promotion or simply buy in at the casino. Either way, Coventry is the final opportunity to chase UKPL glory in 2026.
