GGPoker launches a £2,000 Daily Freeroll promo in the UK & Ireland.
Comedian Johnny Vegas fronts the campaign, adding entertainment flair.
Daily freerolls run weekdays at 8pm.

GGPoker has raised the stakes in the United Kingdom and Ireland this autumn by teaming up with one of Britain’s most recognisable comedy stars.

Comedian and actor Johnny Vegas has been unveiled as the frontman of GGPoker's £2,000 Daily Freeroll promotion, which is running from the beginning of October to the end of November.

Running every weekday at 8pm (UK time), each daily freeroll event comes with a £2,000 prize pool distributed in Cash Dollars (C$).

You can enter the daily freeroll by registering with the GGPoker bonus code "BIGBETS". As soon as you register, you can find freerolls in the tournament lobby, plus as a new player you can get started with a 100% deposit match worth $600.

About Johnny Vegas

Johnny Vegas, born Michael Pennington, is best known for his surreal comedic style, distinctive Lancashire accent, roles in shows such as Benidorm, and - of course - his work with a puppet called Monkey.

Seen as one of Britain’s most unconventional entertainers, both on stage and screen, Vegas is now front and centre on GGPoker's promotional videos and social media channels for the freeroll promotion, even warning players: "I’ll make you fold like a paper napkin."

Celebrity endorsements in poker aren’t new. Athletes such as like Neymar Jr. and Usain Bolt have partnered with global poker brands.

Hiring a comedian to be the starr of the campaign is a more unusual move, although it arguably highlights poker’s entertainment value.

GGPoker is the world's leading poker site and is well known for generous giveaways, headline freerolls, and big-money events, with hundreds of millions in prizes distributed annually.

Adding the husky-voiced native of St Helens to the mix is certainly a move that makes this particular campaign stand out from the pack!

How the GGPoker Daily Freeroll Works

The promotion is simple. From October 6th to December 3th 2025, GGPoker is running a £2,000 freeroll every weekday at 8pm UK time.

The prize pool is distributed as “Cash Dollars” (C$), which can be used across the site. Entry is open to players in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

After creating an account with the promo code "BIGBETS", first-time depositors gain access to the freerolls in addition to a welcome bonus.
