From April 1 to April 30, 2026, new GGPoker UK players who make their first deposit will be granted Octopus status in the Ocean Rewards program, unlocking 50% rakeback on top of the standard welcome offer.
After that, the Octopus level in the Ocean Rewards program with 50% rakeback is awarded automatically. To qualify, you normally need to generate $7,500 in rake since the beginning of the year. This level will be active until January 1, 2027.

An Octopus-level player earns Gems approximately 2.3 times faster and can therefore accumulate the required amount for cash conversion more quickly.
