Global Poker 25 Days of Christmas: Everything You Need to Know

Now that California sports betting has been firmly rejected by the state’s voters, chances are more and more California residents seeking online gambling will turn to online poker.
And there’s no better option in California than Global Poker.
(In fact, there’s no other option. At least not a legal one.)
Global poker is a sweepstakes poker site. That means it’s 100% legal in CA because the digital currency it uses has no real-world value (Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins), even though you can redeem Sweeps Coins for real cash prizes.
Using our Global Poker bonus code, poker players can get up to 70 free SC with their first two GC purchases on the site.
And, if you’re interested in signing up, December is a great time to do so. Why? Because Global Poker is offering a monthlong series of promotions, called the 25 Days of Christmas. That means there’s a new tournament, challenge, and prize opportunity from Dec. 1 through Christmas Day.
Think of it as your online poker version of an advent calendar … except less chocolate. (Well, unless your poker games are fueled by Milk Duds and/or Milky Ways. No judgement here.)
