888poker's XL Winter Series 2026: $500,000 Rakeless Main Event and More


The 888poker XL Winter Series runs from Jan 18 — 27, 2026, with a total of $1.5 million in guaranteed prizes across over 60 events. The series includes a $25 Mystery Bounty Mini Main Event with a $100,000 guarantee, with Day 1 flights starting on Jan 11.

The $250 Main Event features a $500,000 guarantee and no rake, meaning every dollar paid goes straight into the prize pool. There are over 60 tournaments on offer, with buy-ins starting as low as $5.50, and many events in the $11 – $22 range.

The tournament will play out in the popular Mystery Bounty format, with multiple Day 1 flights. Day 1s are already underway on the site, well ahead of the official start of the series.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
