Halloween is 18 days away. For the online poker world that means the gloves are off — nothing is too out there to qualify as a seasonal promotion.

JackPoker is getting in early with two separate Halloween promotions already up and running: Full House of Horror, a bounty series with $2.95 million in combined guarantees and leaderboard prizes, and Monster Hand Hunt, a PLO promotion built around black straight flushes and two $25,000 Flipouts.

We’ll explain both in this article and let you be the judge on which one is spookier.

Full House of Horror Brings $2.95 Million to October

Full House of Horror is JackPoker’s main Halloween series this year. As such, it’s taking the biggest chunk of the October calendar, running from October 12 through November 1, with $2.5 million guaranteed across the tournaments.

The series uses bounty events throughout, meaning every knockout carries a bounty dollar value that then translates to your leaderboard score. JackPoker created a special incentive for doing the damage with a jack:

  • Knock someone out with Jx in hand and those leaderboard points are multiplied by 1.25.
  • Do it with pocket jacks, and the multiplier jumps to 2x.

JackPoker has also added a small Halloween extra through its Elf Hunt. Certain players in the series are going to be marked as elves, and knocking one of them out earns you a special bounty.

As you collect bounties throughout the October series, you climb the $450,000 leaderboard, which is split across three weekly rounds:

Leaderboard RoundPrize PoolPaid Places
Week 1$150,00030
Week 2$150,00030
Week 3$150,00030

Satellites arrive in the final week, with access available either through a $300+ deposit or a $50 buy-in.

Monster Hand Hunt Goes Looking for Black Straight Flushes

The second promotion is shorter, stranger and much more specific.

Monster Hand Hunt is live only this week, from October 12 to 18 and rewards players who make a straight flush in spades or clubs at JackPoker’s PLO, PLO5C or PLO6C cash tables.

Do it during the first qualifying window, from October 12 to 14, and JackPoker automatically adds the player to Flipout 1 on October 15 at 15:00 (UTC). Repeat that same trick during the second stage, from October 16 to 18, and the reward is entry to Flipout 2 on October 19, again at 15:00 (UTC).

Each of the two Flipouts carries a $25,000 guaranteed prize pool, pays 25 places and awards $6,750 to the winner.

If that was a lot all at once, we’ve created a table, so there’s no mistaking the important parts:

Flipout 1October 12–14, 2026October 15, 202615:00 UTC$25,000 GTD
Flipout 2October 16–18, 2026October 19, 202615:00 UTC$25,000 GTD

And that’s only half of it.

After each Flipout, JackPoker runs another $25,000 giveaway among everyone who took part in the tournament. Eleven players are paid each time:

  • 2 prizes of $5,000
  • 3 prizes of $3,000
  • 6 prizes of $1,000

That brings the full Monster Hand Hunt promotion to $100,000 in total prize money across the two Flipouts and two giveaways.
