That's right folks, GGPoker has a gift box with your name on it, every day for the next 28 days, from 15th December until mid-January, GGPoker has suspended the usual $0.25 daily SnG ticket and replaced it with a "12 Days of Christmas Boxes" promotion, that includes a daily $20,000 freeroll ticket! Plus they've not ditched the SnG, just moved it into the Christmas box, and thrown in some C$ for you to buy-in to the cash game whilst you wait for the freeroll to start. As if that's not enough, once you've gorged yourself on festive Turkey with all the trimmings, fart your brussel sprouts over to the 12 Days of Resolution, with a mission to complete each day just to drive home that New Year resolution of making next years WSOP/WPT/<insert online championship of choice here> and bagging yourself a gold bracelet - maybe GG's mystery mission prize will help you on your way to achieving that legend status you dream of?

Here's my starter for C$, placing in today's freeroll - let's hope it's a good start!
There's still a large collection of freerolls to win before Christmas day:

I have so far only received freeroll tickets and spin&gold tickets.
I also noticed that the Saturday $1 ticket was just $0.25 this week.

I've gotten C$2.50 so far - maybe the C$ is rake depending?

It probably is, I got ~C$40 the first day, when I realized they 'scammed' me at the 'classic rakeback', the next day I only played for a few minutes to figure out if the 'scam' applies on all the stakes, and I got less than one dollar in $C, and since then I stopped playing (didn't want to play without a rakeback), and didn't get $C anymore.

So in the end the rakeback might be right, it's just in form of direct $C, not the fish buffet (which is stupid and confusing for no reason lol). I literally stopped playing because they made a 'promo' without a proper explanation :f_tongue:

And the Christmas goodies keep on coming! Two battle royale tickets today - only $0.25 ones, but it's free. And you've got to take them down to make it worth while... speaking of which,

I've had nothing but $0.25 spin tickets, and the freeroll tickets

25,000 entries - 100 players left! Will I bag that 1,389 fist place prize?
As quickly as it began, the promotion draws to a climactic conclusion.... But not without some final freeroll drama! I've not fared too badly during this promotion, finishing ITM over 50% of the time, but not come close to a final table...yet... In my best performance yet, I'm down to the last 0.5% of the field - that's in the last 100 from an inital 25,000 - these freerolls didn't half attract the punters! Annyoingly though, many choose to just sit out, making the game either boring or annoying for those who actually want to play poker. Bah! Humbug!

Anyway, once we navigated the sit-outs, we find ourselves down to the last 150-200 players, the 1-2% cream of the crop, and this video takes it from there... how do I fare?

Best of luck!
My only entry saw me with 46 BB starting stack with others at the table up to 900 BB.

The 12 Days of Christmas Boxes was a nice promotion, I got a lot of free tickets and C$, which were indeed dependent on the rake you accumulated in the 24h prior to opening the gift box.

Playing freerolls is always a bit tricky, since there are alot of sitting out players, sometimes really f*cking up the play dynamics.
I'm not sure which pokerroom it was, but they deleted sitting out players after a certain blind level in case of a freeroll tournament, I wouldn't mind when GGPoker would introduce that too. Still managed to get pretty deep into those daily freerolls for some C$.

Too bad I wasn't able to quality for the new year (final day) freeroll, losing all the day 1's I participated in.

The 12 days new years resolution mission promotion is not working for me, day 2 of the promotion is today and having reached multiple mission goals, it is not giving me the daily stamps.
(already contacted GGPoker about this issue)

Yeah a few freeroll tickets that went nowhere, but nothing else

I got an e-mail from GGPoker, concerning the 12 day new year resolution promotion (not completing missions although reaching the set goals).
It is a known problem and they are working on it.

Today (day 3) was the first day that a mission actually completed for me, they are working on day 1 and day 2 manually, which can take up to another 48 hours to be checked and adjusted to a mission completion.

Are you also trying to complete the daily missions @AcesMagnet?
