888poker Plans to Distribute more than $25M in Tournament Prizes in May!

888poker is planning to make this May a special one, expecting to distribute more than $25 million in tournament prizes!

If you’re making plans for the month of the year known for barbeques and Spring flowers, spending time at 888poker could prove to be very fruitful.

We’re upping the guarantees and slashing buy-ins by up to 50% in popular Sunday tournaments. And, we’re bringing back fan-favourite series like the XL Inferno.

The Galaxy of Freerolls continues with the Venus and Neptune Freerolls, culminating with the $100K GTD Saturn. Our featured multi-flight series, The Dragon, will also be on the menu in May, with multiple Day 1s and Day 2 every Saturday.

Let’s delve into the tasty treats 888poker has on the table to satisfy our customers.

The Sunday Sale Returns in May!

If you thought we’d stop at upping the prize money in May, we didn’t! Enter our special Sunday Sale promotion where we slash the buy-ins in our popular tournaments by up to 50%.

If you’ve ever wanted to play in one of our Sunday Majors, here’s your chance to do so and at basement prices. The prize money guarantees stay the same, but the opportunity to get a ticket for half-price is mouth-wateringly sweet.

Not only have we cut prices on buy-ins to our most popular tournaments, but we’ve also increased the guarantees on several others. Check out the 888poker client for details.

Catching Fire with the XL Inferno Series

Hitting the 888poker tables from the 14^th through the 24^th of May is the red-hot XL Inferno Series, which will simultaneously run in our Spanish, Portuguese and Italian markets as the Super Series.

This year’s series will cover eleven days and is filled with high-value tournaments and massive prizes totalling, $1.5M in guarantees spread across 34 events.

And, there are plenty of satellites currently running for those budget-conscious players to take advantage of.

The XL Inferno Series will end on a crescendo – a $250 buy-in, $500,000 GTD Main Event, happening on Sunday 24^th of May 24 at 17:00 GMT.

Heading for the Stars in the Galaxy of Freerolls

The Galaxy of Freerolls kicked off on the 25^th of March with a massive bang and is set to be one of the highlight successes of May. The series offers a total of over $500,000 in cosmic prizes.

With two daily $2,000 Venus Freerolls running Monday through Saturday, a $10,000 Neptune Freeroll every Sunday, what’s not to like about this free money giveaway!

The finale and grand dame of the series is the mighty $100,000 GTD Saturn Freeroll that drops the curtain on the 7^th of June.

If you still haven’t bagged a ticket to this exclusive tournament, there’s plenty of time to do so in May.

The Dragon Scorches the 888poker Tables in May!

Last but not least, our newest multi-flight series, The Dragon and Mini Dragon tournaments will continue to be on the menu in May.

The series runs weekly with two Main Events – the $55 buy-in, $50K GTD Dragon and the $12 buy-in, $30K GTD Mini Dragon. Both tourneys run Day 1 Flights every day, Sunday through Friday with the Day 2 happening every Saturday.

If these affordable buy-ins are still a little too rich for your blood, then we have plenty of ways to satellite your way to a coveted Day 1 seat.

So far, this series is shaping up to be one of the top performers, putting up very respectable numbers.

If you thought April was great at 888poker, May is shaping up to be even better!

See you at the tables!
