GGPoker, one of the world’s largest online poker platforms, will host a $25 million prize giveaway throughout December 2025, marking its biggest holiday promotion to date. The event, running from December 1st to 31st, is designed to reward players with cash, tournament entries, and exclusive gifts.
Promotion Breakdown
The giveaway is structured across three core promotions:
- $12 Million 12 Days of Christmas Gift Boxes: From December 15th to 26th, daily login rewards will include cash prizes, tournament tickets, and unique in-game items. This encourages consistent player engagement during the holiday season.
- $12 Million December Cash Giveaway: A significant portion ($7.4 million) will be distributed via daily leaderboards, incentivizing high-volume play. An additional $4.6 million will be allocated to various smaller giveaways, with the remaining $1 million reserved for tournament-specific promotions.

Why This Matters
GGPoker’s aggressive promotion strategy reflects the competitive landscape of online poker. The platform, launched in 2017, has rapidly expanded to serve players in Europe, Asia, and Latin America. This massive giveaway is not just about player rewards; it’s a calculated move to attract new users, retain existing ones, and solidify GGPoker’s dominance in the market.
The timing is also key: the holiday season typically sees increased online activity, making it an ideal period to capitalize on heightened player engagement. Such large-scale promotions are becoming increasingly common as poker sites compete for market share in a highly saturated industry.
GGPoker’s Growth
Sarne Lightman, Managing Director of GGPoker, stated that this promotion is a way to thank players for contributing to another record-breaking year. The company’s rapid growth is partially due to aggressive marketing and innovative tournament formats, making it one of the most popular online poker destinations globally.
“Whether you’re chasing a huge leaderboard cash prize, unwrapping a special Christmas gift, or battling for a share of the $1M #Thanks2025 Flipout, there is something exciting for every single player.”
The $25 million giveaway serves as both a reward for loyal players and a strategic move to further expand GGPoker’s influence in the competitive online poker space.
