The year is coming to an end, and online poker operators are looking to wrap things up in style with generous promotions and big events. As one of the leaders in the space, PokerStars is throwing its hat in the mix with a big New Year Series.
Running Dec 22 — Jan 14, the year-ending series will feature 359 events in total, awarding at least $35,000,000 in prizes across the board. As is often the case, tournaments will be split into three buy-in orbits, ensuring all players can get involved.
In addition to event buy-ins starting as low as $2.20, PokerStars is also running a variety of satellites and qualifying paths for more expensive tournaments, giving those with smaller bankrolls a fair shot at securing their seats in some of the heavy hitters.

The 2024 New Year Series on PokerStars will be highlighted by three Main Events for all three buy-in orbits. The Main Events kick off on Jan 12, and each one of them has a cool $1,000,000 guarantee attached to it.
- $109 New Year Series Main Event – $1M GTD
- $1,050 New Year Series Main Event – $1M GTD
- $5,200 New Year Series Main Event – $1M GTD
As mentioned, players will have ample opportunities to qualify for New Year Series tournaments, especially Main Events, via several different routes, namely:
- Power Path — buy-ins starting at $0.50 & daily tickets given away for free
- Regular satellites starting at $0.55
- Special Spin & Go tournaments starting as low as $0.75
Of course, although they are the biggest events on the schedule, the series has 356 other tournaments to offer, featuring all sorts of buy-ins, guarantees, and poker variations, promising non-stop action after things get underway on Dec 22.
Quality Options for Mixed Game Fans
It goes without saying that a majority of the New Year Series schedule consists of various NLHE and PLO tournaments, with plenty of standard, progressive KOs, and Mystery Bounties thrown into the mix.
However, PokerStars has come through once again to ensure that mixed game fans can have their share of fun as well, with several more game types penciled in.
- Two Badugi tournaments on Dec 24
- Three Stud events on Dec 26
- Six 8-Game events (on Dec 27 and Jan 8)
- Three 2-7 Single Draw events on Jan 1
- Three Stud Hi/Lo tournaments on Jan 2
- Three 5-Card Draw tournaments on Jan 4
- Two 2-7 Triple Draw tournaments on Jan 7
Those looking to test their skills in mixed games will thus have plenty of opportunity to do so over the course of the series. Like the rest of the events, these are also offered in three buy-in brackets, making them easily accessible for as little as $2.20 in some instances.
All in all, the PokerStars New Year Series promises a lot of quality action every single day with great variety, big guarantees, and many qualifiers sprinkled around the schedule. If you aren’t otherwise engaged, make sure to join the action and claim your share of the massive $35,000,000 promise.
