PokerStars USA is celebrating the run up to Christmas throughout its entire network with the 25 Days of Tournaments campaign.
The promotion runs from December 6 to 31 in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and New Jersey, and sees an exclusive tournament, not on the usual schedule, take place every night at 19:30 ET.
The exact nature of each tournament will not be revealed by the PokerStars USA sites until 21:00 the evening before each event, to create the feel of an advent calendar—albeit one shifted forward by six days.
25 Days of Tournaments — at a glance:
- 25 exclusive tournaments not on regular PokerStars schedule
- New tournament details released each day at 9pm ET
- Two buy-in levels — $10 and $50
- Promotion runs December 6-31
- Jurisdictions: PA, NJ, and MI
- Great bonus$50 freeplay or Up to $600 deposit match bonus
- The world’s most regulated online poker site
- Great cash game traffic and some of the best weekly guaranteed MTTs
- Stars rewards program rewards play across poker, casino and sports
Every event has two buy-in levels, one pitched at $50, and one at $10, so that players with different sized bankrolls can all take part. Of course, if you wish, you can take part in both contests.
The first night’s tournaments are already up in the lobby, but PokerStars is keeping the exact details secret until 21:00 on December 5.
Chest Drop Giveaways with Every Tournament
In addition to the nightly games, players taking part in any 25 Days of Tournaments event will also have the chance to win other tournament tickets, Spin and Go tickets, as well as seats in $100 daily freerolls and $1000 weekly freerolls—prizes that come courtesy of PokerStars Chest drops.
Players will receive one chest for every day they play at least one of the two advent tournaments. Those taking part in both nightly tournaments will only receive one chest.
When you bust out of a 25 Days of Tournaments event, you will receive a chest containing one of the above prizes, with the following probabilities.
| Prize | Probability |
|---|---|
| $100 Daily Freeroll Ticket | 40% |
| $1 Spin and Go Ticket | 35% |
| $1,000 Weekly Freeroll Ticket | 20% |
| $10 Tournament Ticket | 4% |
| $50 Tournament Ticket | 1% |
As the name suggests, Daily Freerolls take place every day between December 7 and December 30. Weekly Freerolls take place every Friday throughout the month—December 10, 17, 24, and 31. Players who manage to obtain more than one freeroll ticket can use them to re-enter a freeroll if they get knocked out.
PokerStars Promos Run Right to End of the Year
The promotion comes hot on the heels of PokerStars Fall Fest Series which has just finished in all three jurisdictions. That was a massive success for the operator with the vast majority of guarantees being smashed throughout the 10-day festival.
Even the ambitious Main Event targets were met, with PokerStars Pennsylvania being the stand-out. The centerpiece event in PA obliterated its $150,000 guarantee, with 1016 entries each putting up $200 to combine for an eventual prize pool of $188,976.
PokerStars USA clearly has no intention of taking its foot off the gas as we approach the end of the 2021, with this latest promotion running right up to the end of the year. The 25 Days of Tournaments runs from December 6 through 29.
