888poker’s Poker Waves Promo Brings $300,000 in Freeroll Prizes This Summer
888poker’s Poker Waves promotion officially began on July 16, 2025, and will run through October 11, 2025. Over the course of this promotion, 888poker will distribute a total of $300,000 in freeroll tournament prizes. All depositing players on the platform are eligible to participate by completing designated daily, weekly, and monthly challenges.
Daily Poker Challenges and Sea Breeze Freerolls
Each day, players can complete up to three unique challenges to gain entries into “Sea Breeze Freerolls.” These freerolls have a $500 prize pool and run three times per day. Players receive one freeroll entry per challenge completed, with the potential to earn up to three freeroll entries daily.
The three daily challenges available are:
- Win a real money online poker cash game hand with Ace-King (AK), at any stakes starting from $0.01/$0.02
- Play $5 or more in poker tournaments, including BLAST games
- Place $2 or more in bets on any casino game or sports event through 888’s platform
Completing all three challenges in one day grants access to $1,500 in freerolls within that 24-hour window.
Weekly Challenge Requirement and Beach Break Freeroll
Players who complete at least nine challenges between Monday and Saturday qualify for the “Beach Break Freeroll.” This tournament runs every Sunday during the promotion and features a $3,000 prize pool. Once a player hits the nine-challenge threshold in a given week, a ticket to the Beach Break Freeroll is automatically issued to their 888poker account.
Monthly Swell Challenges and $20,000 Big Blue Freeroll
The highest-value tournament in the Poker Waves promo is the “Big Blue Freeroll,” offering a $20,000 prize pool. This freeroll is held once each month on the following dates:
- August 16, 2025
- September 13, 2025
- October 11, 2025
All Big Blue Freerolls begin at 5:00 p.m. BST.
To earn an entry into a Big Blue Freeroll, players must complete one of three “Swell Challenges” within the corresponding calendar month. These challenges are more demanding than daily or weekly tasks but are achievable over several weeks. The Swell Challenges are:
- Win 100 real money cash game hands (stakes not limited)
- Finish in the money in five or more tournaments (BLAST games are excluded)
- Knock out 10 or more opponents in PKO (Progressive Knockout) or Mystery Bounty tournaments
Completing any one of these Swell Challenges grants entry to that month’s $20,000 Big Blue Freeroll.
