Every Cash Counts
The Nightly Stars Leaderboard is very simple and straightforward. For every $1 you cash in qualifying tournaments, you’ll earn one leaderboard point. So, this one isn’t just about participation. You’ll need some deep runs to secure a good position.
There is one Nightly Stars event on the docket every day Monday — Saturday, which means you’ll have six opportunities to get as many points as possible. At the end of the week, 73 top finishers will receive prizes, issued in the form of tournament tickets:
| Position | Reward |
|---|---|
| 1st | 5 x $100 Nightly Stars tickets |
| 2nd | 3 x $100 Nightly Stars tickets |
| 3rd | 2 x $100 Nightly Stars tickets |
| 4th – 9th | 1 x $100 Nightly Stars tickets |
| 10th – 12th | 2 x $30 Sunday Shield tickets |
| 13th – 16th | 1 x $30 Sunday Shield tickets |
| 17th – 18th | 2 x $10 Nightly Stars Satellite tickets |
| 19th – 24th | 1 x $10 Nightly Stars Satellite tickets |
| 25th – 74th | 1 x $10 2nd Chance All In Shootout (AISO) ticket |
You can check your standings at any time by visiting the Leaderboards section of the poker client. All tickets awarded as part of this promotion expire 21 days from being issued. Players winning tickets to the 2nd Chance All In Shootout are registered for the tournament automatically and don’t need to be logged in to participate.
What’s the Deal With Nightly Stars Events
In case you’re new to FanDuel Poker, Nightly Stars tournaments represent the backbone of the operator’s daily MTT schedule. These $100 tournaments have been revamped recently to offer more play and bigger guarantees, making them that much more attractive.
With these latest changes, players get more chips to play with, extra levels during early stages, and a bit more time to late-register for the events. The bump to the guarantees also ensures that players get a better return for the time spent at the tables. There are also mini versions of Nightly Stars tournaments for those with smaller bankrolls, but these do not count toward this specific promotion.
So, whether you’re a recreational player looking for a tournament that you can play for a while or a serious grinder focused on the expected value, Nightly Stars cater to both.
The latest Leaderboard makes these events even more attractive, rewarding consistency and good results.
As mentioned, the promotion is set to run for two weeks only, so you don’t want to sleep on this one. While it’s possible for PokerStars on FanDuel to extend the promo past September 5, there are no guarantees, so your best bet is to get involved today and start collecting those valuable points as soon as possible.
