PokerStars has announced the final qualification path to the Spin & Go Championship Live, taking place on February 23 and 24 at the European Poker Tour stop in Paris. The “Spin-Off” event will take place the day before the Championship kicks off and give the final nine players a seat in the Main Event.
Players can now qualify for the Spin-Off by playing Spin & Go tournaments online between now and January 25. Playing Spin & Gos will award a random number of points to each player daily, and 1,000 top-ranked players will earn a seat in an online freeroll tournament.
The freeroll, taking place on January 26, will award nine Spin-Off packages, each worth €2,650 in total. The nine players will get a chance to compete in the Spin-Off and play for their chance to compete among the final 81 players in the prestigious Spin & Go Championship Live event.
How to Win Your Spin-Off Seat
The Spin-Off is a live poker tournament, scheduled to run on February 22 in Paris as part of the EPT Paris festival. The tournament will mimic the structure of the Spin & Go Championship Live, with 81 entrants and a 3-handed format.
The final nine players in this tournament will win their seats in the €300,000 guaranteed Spin & Go Championship Live, an exclusive event open only to PokerStars qualifiers.
To win one of the final nine seats in the Spin & Go Championship Live , you must first qualify for the PokerStars Spin & Go Championship Live “Spin-Off.” To do so, all you need to do is play Spin & Go tournaments online throughout the month of January, leading up to the exclusive 1,000-person freeroll on January 26.
Each day of the promotional period, you will have three chances to accumulate the maximum number of points. Each cycle will last until “Game Over” is randomly displayed, with every additional Spin & Go you load up increasing the chances of the “Game Over.”
In the freeroll, 1,000 players will compete for nine Spin-Off packages, each worth €2,650. The packages include entry to the Spin-Off, four nights’ accommodations, and additional money for expenses.

What Is The PokerStars Spin & Go Championship Live?
The PokerStars Spin & Go Championship Live, scheduled to play out at Le Palais des Congres in Paris as part of this year’s EPT Paris, is an action-packed poker tournament mimicking the fast-paced gameplay of the online Spin & Gos – a 3-handed game with a random multiplier determining its prize.
The 81-person format was tried and tested at EPT Prague in 2024 and the second PokerStars Spin & Go Championship Live took place in Barcelona last year. The live Spin format also had a presence at EPT Prague last month.
Unlike the other events at EPT Paris, the PokerStars Spin & Go Championship Live will not have a buyin, as only qualifiers who won their seats online or live will have a chance to compete for the €300,000 prize pool, of which €150,000 will be reserved for the final three players.
The Championship kicks off on February 23 and will run over two days. The “Spin-Off” is the last opportunity to win one of the 81 Championship seats, so load up your PokerStars account and start grinding Spin & Gos to earn a chance to play for your share of €300,000 in cash prizes.
