888poker To Giveaway £16.8K Worth of UKPL Blackpool Main Event Seats
The 888poker UK Poker League (UKPL) heads to the seaside town of Blackpool in May, and 30 players will be heading there to play in the £560 buy-in, £100,000 guaranteed UKPL Blackpool Main Event for free.
Between April 11 and May 2, players whose 888poker accounts are registered to a United Kingdom address are invited to battle it out at the virtual felt for the chance to win one of 30 seats to the 888poker UKPL Blackpool Main Event.
A special freeroll is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. BST on May 3, with the top 30 finishers each receiving a £560 ticket to the UKPL Blackpool Main Event. To qualify for that freeroll, which has a £16,800 prize pool, players must complete at least 50 tournaments (including BLAST games) with a $5 or more buy-in. Meet those requirements, finish in the top 30 of the freeroll on May 3, and get ready to head to Blackpool.
The freeroll prizes are £560 UKPL Blackpool Main Event tickets. These can only be used for the 2026 edition of this live event. There is no cash alternative. Winners cannot use the freeroll prize to re-enter, nor can they combine it with another ticket to create a higher-value ticket. Additionally, tickets are not transferable.
888poker UKPL Blackpool Schedule
The 888poker UKPL Blackpool festival marks the first time 888poker has headed to the Lancashire town. Players heading to Blackpool will hope to be too embroiled in poker battles at the table to visit the famous Blackpool Tower and the Pleasure Beach.
May 5 is the opening day of the six-day festival, starting with the aptly-named £250 No-Limit Hold'em Opening Voyage, which carries a £50,000 guarantee on its prize pool.
Other events throughout the week and into the weekend include a £150 Pot-Limit Omaha 4/5/6 card tournament, a £1,100 No-Limit Hold 'em High Roller, the £330 KO Rumble, a £150 Seniors, and a £200 Big Shot event.
Of course, the crown jewel of UKPL Blackpool is the £560 Main Event, a £100,000 guaranteed tournament. Since the UKPL's launch, every £560 buy-in Main Event has paid out substantially more than its advertised guarantee. UKPL Blackpool has every chance of continuing that trend, especially with 30 players heading there for free thanks to the above promotion.
