888poker is rolling out the red carpet for its players until August 18 with the Royal Premiere promotion, a special freeroll series that guarantees to pay out $300,000 in cash and prizes. The Royal Premiere is the freeroll event of the year, so put on your glad rags, fire up 888poker, and start playing your way into some epic freeroll tournaments, some with a $20,000 prize pool!
Royal Premiere consists of a trio of freerolls waiting for you to play your way into. You’ll find a $500 Red Carpet Freeroll running three times per day (Monday through Saturday), a weekly $4,000 Silver Screen Freeroll each Sunday, and a massive $20,000 Golden Era Freeroll taking place once per month throughout the three month promotion.
Each 888poker Royal Premiere freeroll is locked behind a ticket, but earning a ticket is simple, and you should have no problem in earning tickets for every freeroll, meaning you could be playing in $300,000 worth of free-to-play poker tournaments by the time the curtain comes down on this value-packed promotion.
How to Play in the $500 Red Carpet Freeroll
The $500 Red Carpet Freerolls shuffles up and deals three times daily from Monday through Saturday, and you can earn up to three tickets every day by completing any combination of the following daily challenges:
- Play poker tournaments, including BLAST, with buy-ins totalling $5 or more
- Place sports bets totalling $2 with minimum offs of ½ (1.5)
- Place bets totalling $2 in casino games
- Win a poker cash game hand, including Snap, with any royal card (king, queen, or jack), on tables with minimum stakes of $0.01/$0.02
The $500 Red Carpet Freerolls shuffles up and deal at 6:30 p.m., 8:30 p.m., and 10:30 p.m. BST.
How to Play in the $4,000 Silver Screen Freeroll
Keep Sundays free if you want to play in the $4,000 Silver Screen Freeroll. Cards are in the air from 7:00 p.m. BST each Sunday, and you can be part of the action if you complete nine of the following challenges during a calendar week.
- Play poker tournaments, including BLAST, with buy-ins totalling $5 or more
- Place sports bets totalling $2 with minimum offs of ½ (1.5)
- Place bets totalling $2 in casino games
- Win a poker cash game hand, including Snap, with any royal card (king, queen, or jack), on tables with minimum stakes of $0.01/$0.02
Please note that a maximum of three challenges per day will be counted towards the weekly freeroll ticket challenge, meaning you’ll have to play on a minimum of three days to complete the requirements for the $4,000 Silver Screen Freeroll.
You can earn up to two $4,000 Silver Screen Freeroll tickets per week, but any unused tickets expire 14 days after issue.
How to Play in the $20,000 Golden Era Freeroll
You would be forgiven for thinking the challenges for the $20,000 Golden Era Freeroll would be difficult, but they are not; they just require a little grinding on your part. Complete one of the following challenges during the promotional period to receive a ticket to the $20,000 Golden Era Freeroll, which kicks off at 5:00 p.m. BST on June 22, then 7:00 p.m. BST on July 13 and August 17.
- Finish in the money in three tournaments, not including BLAST or freerolls
- Win five games of Blackjack with a jack in your hand
- Win five cash game hands, including Snap, with blinds of at least $0.01/$0.02 with a pair of kings
Completing these challenges sooner rather than later is advised because each freeroll is limited to 18,000 entrants. That number sounds a lot, but with the value on offer in the Royal Premiere freerolls, it would not be surprising to see every tournament reach its capacity.
