Summary:
- Players can qualify for weekly $5,000 freerolls through the World Cup MTT Race at TigerGaming.
- Daily VAR promo codes award tournament tickets, freeroll entries, and other prizes.
- The promotion includes football-themed freerolls linked to teams’ progress during the World Cup.
TigerGaming has unveiled its 2026 World Cup Poker Challenge, a football-inspired promotion designed to keep poker players engaged with a mix of freerolls, leaderboard races, and daily rewards throughout the soccer tournament which their sportsbook is also offering bets on.
Earn Prizes Through Tourneys, Satellites, or Bonuses
Running alongside the World Cup, the promotion gives players multiple ways to earn prizes, whether they prefer grinding multi-table tournaments, chasing satellites, or simply collecting daily bonuses.
One of the headline features is the World Cup MTT Race, which runs from June 12 through July 16. Players earn one leaderboard point for every dollar spent in tournament fees across scheduled multi-table tournaments. Every Friday, the top 100 players on the leaderboard will secure a seat in a weekly $5,000 freeroll.
The leaderboard resets each week, giving players fresh opportunities to qualify regardless of previous results. The freerolls will run weekly from June 19 through July 17 and award a combination of cash prizes and tournament tickets.
TigerGaming is also introducing a promotion called VAR Daily Giveaway, inspired by football’s Video Assistant Referee system. Beginning June 11, players can redeem a new daily promo code to receive a random reward.
Prizes include entries to special Half Time All In Or Fold freerolls, tournament tickets, and other promotional rewards. According to the operator, thousands of prizes will be distributed throughout the campaign.
Keep an Eye on Your Unlocked Teams
Another major component of the promotion is the World Cup Stage Freerolls, which link poker activity to the progress of teams during the football tournament.
Players were able to unlock World Cup groups by generating rake between May 31 and June 11.
The more rake earned, the more groups became available. Those who unlocked all 12 groups gained exposure to every section of the tournament draw.
Once the World Cup gets underway, players can follow the progress of their unlocked teams. As those teams advance through the group stage and knockout rounds, players gain access to progressively larger freerolls tied to each stage of the competition.
The concept blends poker and football into a single long-term promotion, creating additional opportunities for players to win prizes throughout the tournament rather than focusing on a single event.
With weekly leaderboard competitions, daily rewards, and football-themed freerolls, TigerGaming is aiming to give players plenty of reasons to stay active at the tables throughout the summer.
