PokerStars is celebrating the 19th anniversary of its most iconic tournament in style with a special Sunday Million Season promo.
Over the course of the next few weeks, PokerStars will be giving away heaps of tickets for the anniversary $6M guaranteed Sunday Million on Apr 6, alongside many other special cash prizes, trophies, and merchandise.
The Sunday Million Season promo kicks off today, Feb 23, with Phase 2 of the first-ever phased edition of the SM event, and it will last until Apr 6. There are hundreds of thousands worth of prizes up for grabs, and this article will tell you all you need to know about how to get involved.
Adding Fun & Excitement to the Sunday Grind
Sundays are, by far, the most exciting day for tournament grinders out there, bringing out an extensive MTT schedule across all buy-ins. With the Sunday Million Season, PokerStars is taking things to a new level, giving you even more reason to get involved.
First of all, over the course of the promotion, the Sunday Million Ticket Machine will be active, dishing out entries for the Anniversary Sunday Million. The operator is set to give away $300,000 worth of satellite tickets and direct entries.
To have a shot, opt-in via your Challenges window and then play at least one Season event over the course of the week. The more you play, the more entries you’ll get for the weekly raffle, increasing your chances.
PokerStars has also prepared special trophies for all Sunday Million and Super Sunday winners, as well as limited edition hoodies for those who make deep runs in these events.
Ambassador Bounties During Special Episodes
Tournaments that are part of the promotion are called “episodes,” and participating in any episode will help you win your raffle tickets and collect points towards the special $100,000 leaderboard.
Some episodes will be more fun than others, though, featuring bounties on PokerStars ambassadors and giving you a chance to win some cool prizes. If you manage to KO the hosting ambassador, you’ll win the $215 entry for the Anniversary Sunday Million and an exclusive Lex Veldhuis throwable.
Additionally, you’ll be able to pick up bounties on Mar 2 by eliminating any PokerStars ambassadors playing in the Red Spade Open and two Spectral Showdown tournaments.
Many Qualifying Paths Available
The $215 Anniversary Sunday Million on Apr 6 comes with a promise of at least $6,000,000, which will likely be shattered. With a big prize pool and loads of free entries, this might be one of the most valuable tournaments of the year and it’s definitely worth getting involved with.
If you don’t have the bankroll to buy in directly, don’t worry. There are many different opportunities to secure your seat over the course of the next few weeks.
First of all, you can get lucky and win a free ticket via the Ticket Machine. Make sure to enter at least one or two qualifying tournaments every week and give yourself a shot.
If that doesn’t work, you could try your luck with Power Path. With the first step available at just $0.50, you can begin your journey without breaking the bank and take many shots, even with a small bankroll.
PokerStars is also hosting special $4 Spin & Goes with Anniversary SM tickets up for grabs, which is perfect if you enjoy playing this format.
Finally, there are even completely free satellites on the docket!
All in all, the Sunday Million Season will bring heaps of fun and excitement over the next few weeks, culminating in a massive event in April, and you don’t want to miss out!
