When speaking of PokerStars promotions, first and foremost is the massive $600 start up bonus that returns 100% of your first three deposits made within 90 days.

One of the more unique promotions PokerStars has ever hosted is the Million Dollar Challenge that not only requires winners to play poker, but also demands that participants have charisma in front of the television camera. If you place in the top ten in one of the four daily freerolls, you will be invited to submit a video of yourself explaining why you should be on television playing poker against Daniel Negreanu, Team PokerStars Pro, competing for $1 million. The qualifiers run nightly at 8, 9, 10, and 11 p.m. ET.
Another great promotion at PokerStars is the Americas Cup of Poker. This team event sets poker pros up against winners of qualifiers to represent their country. Start online to get your team qualified for the $250K final live tournament to be held in Argentina at a ski resort in Patagonia. This is a unique opportunity that affords players from across the globe to play poker for their own country. These tourneys start at as little as $0.20.
PokerStars also has a brand new Leader Board promo, the Battle of the Planets. This one’s for Sit & Go players and is a weekly competition that pays out more than $3 million over the course of one year. These multi-table tourneys are divided up into eight divisions, one for each planet in the Milky Way, and there’s a place for all players of all limits in this promotion. Tournaments start at $1 (on Mercury) and go up to $300+ (on Jupiter). Each level has two Leader Boards—a Low Orbit Leader Board (for casual players) and a High Orbit Leader Board (for more serious players). Your prize will depend on the planet level you play at and the frequency that you play.
In addition to all of these great promotional events, PokerStars hosts a ton of guaranteed prize pool tournaments. The Sunday Million is the biggest of these, with a $1.5 million cash pool. This is a No Limit Hold ‘em event with more than $150K going to the first place winner. In addition, running after the Sunday Million every week is the Sunday Second Chance with a $250K prize pool. Alternatively, the Sunday Warm-Up is an earlier tournament with $750K in prizes. All three of these PokerStars Sunday tournaments have a $215 buy-in or you can win your way in by participating in any of the low-priced satellite tournaments that run all week long at PokerStars.
You can also get into any of the many live events that PokerStars sends their players to via the satellites that run ‘round the clock to such events as the World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP), the World Cup of Poker, the European Poker Tour (EPT), the Asia Pacific Poker Tour (APPT), the Czech-Slovak Poker Tour, the World Series of Poker (WSOP), or a number of other big-money live tournaments around the world.
The fact is that there’s just so much going on at PokerStars, this is only the tip of the iceberg. To really understand the hype, you have to experience PokerStars for yourself.
