PokerStars Promotions
PokerStars provides their players with many quality ongoing promotions that adds value to their player base. Some of the ongoing promotions that PokerStars has include their Turbo Takedown tournament, the Sunday Million, the Battle of the Planets Leaderboard and their satellites into various live events.
$1 Million Turbo Takedown
PokerStars Turbo Takedown gives players great odds to cash, plus the chance of a massive $100K payday and it has a buy-in of just Frequent Player Points. Each Turbo Takedown tournament has a 5000 FPP entry fee and a maximum capacity of 12000 entrants. 4000 of these entrants’ cash and first place is a healthy $100,000. There are many satellites into every Turbo Takedown event so if you don’t have 5000 FPP’s yet, just try to double them a few times and you will be able to participate. The Turbo Takedown takes place on the last Sunday of each month at 2:30pm EST.
PokerStars Sunday Million
The Sunday Million is the single largest weekly guaranteed tournament in all of online poker. Every week the prize pool is guaranteed to be over $1.5 Million. The buy-in to this event is just $215 and the action starts every Sunday at 6:30pm EST. First prize is usually around $200K, so as you can see PokerStars Sunday Million gives players a chance to turn a relatively small amount of cash into a huge payout.
Battle of the Planets Sit and Go Leader board
PokerStars gives away over $3 Million each year from their Battle of the Planets sit and go leaderboard. The buy-ins of tournaments are split into 9 different leaderboards, one for each planet in the galaxy. These 9 leaderboards are then split into 2 different orbits; low-orbit for recreational players, where chunks of 20 tournaments count towards the leaderboard and high-orbit for more serious players, where chunks of 100 tournaments count towards the leaderboard. The smallest buy-in leaderboard is the mercury leaderboard, where $3K is split between the leaders each week. This amount increases up to Jupiter, which is the largest buy-in leaderboard, where $10K is split between the leaders every week. So no matter what level you play at, if you put together a nice 20 or 100 tournament streak you will be rewarded on top of your winnings.
Live Event Satellites
PokerStars is the primary sponsor of a lot of big live events around the world. These include the European Poker Tour, the Asian Pacific Poker Tour, the Latin America Poker Tour and more. PokerStars offers you many chances to win a seat into these live events through their online poker room.
