En cours May 14, 2026

JackPoker opens its seven-day Mid-May Freeroll Marathon today, running from May 14 through May 20 with a combined guarantee of $50,000 spread across daily events — all at zero buy-in. Each day features one scheduled freeroll, accessible to players who hold a qualifying entry ticket. The primary ticket path runs through the Welcome Quest system, meaning new players who registered with promo code WELCOME and completed early quest milestones can fire every event without spending a cent of their own bankroll.

Daily Schedule — May 14 to May 20

Each freeroll in the marathon runs at the same daily start time with a guaranteed prize pool. The schedule is structured so that the guarantee steps up mid-week, rewarding players who can enter multiple days:

• Wednesday May 14: $5,000 GTD — Opening Day Freeroll, 18:00 UTC
• Thursday May 15: $5,000 GTD — 18:00 UTC
• Friday May 16: $7,000 GTD — Friday Boost, 18:00 UTC
• Saturday May 17: $8,000 GTD — Weekend Edition, 17:00 UTC
• Sunday May 18: $10,000 GTD — Sunday Headliner, 17:00 UTC
• Monday May 19: $7,500 GTD — 18:00 UTC
• Tuesday May 20: $7,500 GTD — Marathon Closer, 18:00 UTC

All times are UTC. The Sunday Headliner carries the single largest guarantee at $10,000, making May 18 the priority session for players who can only attend one event.

Entry Tickets — How Welcome Quests Unlock Access

Unlike open freerolls that accept any registered player, the Freeroll Marathon uses a ticket-gated entry system to control field sizes and protect prize pools. Tickets are distributed automatically when players reach qualifying milestones inside the Welcome Quest framework. The relevant milestones are:

• Quest Tier 1 (Complete Profile + First Deposit): Grants one ticket valid for any single event in the marathon.
• Quest Tier 2 (Play 10 Cash Hands): Grants two additional tickets, allowing three total event entries.
• Quest Tier 3 (Generate $5 in Rake): Unlocks unlimited freeroll entries for all remaining days of the marathon.

Players who joined under promo code WELCOME and deposited before May 14 will generally have completed Tier 1 and Tier 2 already. Tier 3 is reachable in a single modest cash session. Check your quest progress in the Promotions tab before each event.

Payout Structure — How Prize Money Distributes

Each daily freeroll pays the top 15% of the registered field, ensuring a healthy payout tier for players who reach the money. Based on the expected field sizes and the guaranteed prize pools, the approximate payout ranges are:

• 1st Place: ~18–22% of the day's prize pool
• 2nd Place: ~10–12% of the prize pool
• 3rd–5th Place: ~4–7% each
• 6th–10th Place: ~2–3% each
• Min-cash (bottom 5% of paid field): Flat $5–$10 depending on the day's pool

All payouts credit as Instant Cash — immediately available for further play or withdrawal subject to platform withdrawal rules. No additional wagering requirement is attached to freeroll winnings.

Strategy Notes for the Marathon Format

Freeroll fields are typically larger and looser than buy-in events — expect above-average variance in the early levels. The optimal approach in these fields is to play tight in the first blind levels and let poor opponents bust themselves. Once the field thins past the midpoint, adjust to a more active style. With a seven-day run, a consistent ITM (in-the-money) rate across multiple events will yield a higher total EV than chasing a single win.

The Sunday event at $10,000 GTD is worth specifically protecting your ticket for if you can only play one. The combination of the largest prize pool and a typically softer weekend field makes May 18 the highest-value target of the week.
