PokerStars has posted the schedule for its throwback tournament series, The Big 20 Rewind. As announced last week, it forms part of the operator’s Big 20 anniversary celebrations, comprising nearly two dozen events, each commemorating “an iconic moment” in its rich 20-year history from 2001 to 2021.
$5.5 million is guaranteed in prize money across 22 retro-themed events spread out over three weeks, with the first event kicking off this Sunday, November 14.
Although the festival guarantees $5.5 million, which equates to a sizeable $250,000 per tournament, the buy-ins are designed to suit all types of bankrolls—even those that have no funds in them at all. There’s one freeroll on the schedule, then buy-ins for the remaining events range from $5.50 and go as high as $10,300.
What makes the tournament series stand out is that each event offers lifestyle prizes on top of the first-place cash prize, ranging from a luxury trip around the world to an electric car; even a trip to Twitch Con in Amsterdam.
“We kickstarted our 20th Anniversary with the announcement of our new and improved Rewards program,” said Severin Rasset, Managing Director of Poker at PokerStars, in a recent press release. “Now we’d like to thank the PokerStars community with a huge celebratory series, with big guarantees and winning moments.”
