Poker makes Millionaires

The largest freeroll tournament with a guaranteed prize pool of $1,000,000 was announced by the most popular online poker room PokerStars. This grand event starts on Saturday, March 19, 2025 and will be conducted in several countries, where PokerStars work officially, under the relevant legislation. All users who are residing in the territory of such countries will be able to participate in the most popular event of the year for free.

The tournament has already received a unique name like the PokerStars $1 Million Freeroll, and the winner of this gambling-event is guaranteed to receive the prize money of $20,000.

As it was announced, the tournament will be held on free basis, but the players will have to fight for the right to participate in this event. The mechanics will be the as following: the constant poker player in the Stars room, who plays exclusively for real money may qualify for a free ticket to the accompanying competition which will ensure their participation in the Sit&Go tournament with a maximum number of participants – 90 gamblers. Players who will occupy the first 9 places in each of these gambling competitions are eligible to take part in the main event of the PokerStars $ 1 Million Freeroll.

Of course, the main mass of decent players and just those wanting to test their strength will not be able to get into the "Nine" finalists in the accompanying Sit&Go competitions. Organisers of the "event million" clearly understand such prospects and therefore have already taken care of a large-scale advertising campaign. This special marketing campaign assumes that every player who makes a $20 deposit, indicating a special code «MILLION1», is entitled to participate in the qualifying rounds of accompanying Sit&Go tournament. It is already known that the qualifying tournaments will take place day and night in order to attract the largest possible audience.

Despite the large-scale marketing campaign of a unique event, not everyone will be able to get to the qualifying rounds of the competition and even to participate in the main event. The number of participants in the PokerStars $1 Million Freeroll tournament is limited to 2 terms:

1. The number of participants of the main tournament is limited to the mark of 100 000 players. Having reached this amount, preliminaries will be immediately terminated.
2. In all circumstances the accompanying events will be strictly stopped 2 hours before the official start of the main tournament.

The attention and hype around the main event of the month flares up by leaps and bounds. The organisers of the tournament, according to information from the official press release, expected to participate not less than 30-50 000 gamblers.
