Pokerstars Freeroll 2020

Let’s face it: 2020 just isn’t the one. So, let's see this crazy year out with a bang and get involved with The Blowout Challenge. There’s over $1,000,000 in prizes to be won from December 7-26.

Make your way through the city all the way to the party in the centre. Get there and you could win up to $10,000 in prizes, plus the chance to grab a Blowout Package. Now it’s time to party. Coming?

Blowout Packages are worth $1,904each and contain four Blowout Series tickets. This means four shots to play in $5,000,000 GTD tournaments every Sunday, starting on December 27.

There are 1,000 Blowout Packages up for grabs and these can be snatched by landing on special Chests, or via Welcome and Final Freerolls.

Here’s how to play:

  • Opt-in to The Blowout Challenge via your Challenges Window.
  • Play real money games and win Stars Rewards Chests containing dice rolls.
  • Roll the dice to move that number of spaces. Land on Chests around the board to earn prizes of up to $5K. Land on arrows and you’ll either fast-track your way to the finish or move back on the board.
  • Land on theBlowout Chests in the middle of the board and win up to $10K in prizes – plus a chance to win a Blowout Package.

And that's not the only way to win a Blowout Package. Check out our Blowout Freerolls below.

What Is A Freeroll Tournament On Pokerstars

Moving through the city

After you’ve opted-in via your Challenges Window, you’ll see that the city is mapped out across a board with squares featuring numbers and letters. Your objective is to get to the party in the middle by earning dice rolls which you’ll find in Chests.

PokerStars offers many freerolls, but as of late, most of their tournaments are restricted in one way or another, with very few events truly open to all the players. This is a bit disappointing given the fact site used to host some really great freeroll events, but this seems to be in line with the new PokerStars policy.

Freerolls Passwords

‘Blowout Welcome Freeroll’ will take place on December 8, 2020 at 13:10 ET. To use the Blowout Welcome Freeroll Ticket, players need to log in to the client, find ‘Blowout Welcome Freeroll’ within the Tournaments search tool, and register for the tournament. Win prizes for free. No deposit required. Welcome to PokerStars. Get a head-start on building your bankroll. Enjoy a free ticket to daily free-to-play Welcome Freerolls, where you can win real prizes and start rising through the poker ranks. Our Daily T€1,000 Welcome Freerolls are open exclusively to players who registered their account after March 27, 2020.

As you move along, you’ll come across arrows that could either advance you to the final party (and rewards) or divert you in a different direction. Don't worry if the arrows take you in the ‘wrong’ direction – you could grab even more instant rewards by taking the long way around.

Celebrate on the go

The party spirit isn’t confined to the centre. You’ll find Chests scattered across various squares (numbers: 4, 6, 11, 15, 18, 22 and 26, and letters: B, G and O) containing prizes of up to $5,000.

To complete the board, reach square 28 or square R (the last number and letter on the board). There’s no need to land exactly on these squares – if you roll beyond 28/R, you’ll still get to the end and claim the same final reward of up to $10,000.

Terms & Conditions

What is the promotion?

The Blowout is a promotion which can be found in your Challenges Window.

When you opt-in, you will see The Blowout board, broken down into 28 ‘number’ squares and 18 ‘letter’ squares: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q and R, plus 10 Board Chests, 4 Blowout Chests, and 13 arrows.

Every time you complete a progress bar by playing real money games, you will receive a four-sided dice in your Stars Rewards Chest. Your marker will move the number of squares displayed on the dice.

The arrows on the board allow you to move different directions. If you land exactly on a square that shows an image of the bottom of an arrow, then you will move all the way to the square at the top of the arrow. For example, if you land on square 3, you will move to square A, square C to square 5, square F to square 10, square 12 to square H, square J to square 17, square 19 to square L, square M to square 20, square N to square 24, square 28 to square R.

In order to complete the Challenge, you will need to complete the board by landing on or going past the final square with ‘number’ 28 or ‘letter’ R. You don’t have to land exactly on the square with ‘number’ 28 or square with the ‘letter’ R. If you roll beyond 28/R, you will complete the board and get the final reward. For example, if you are on the square Q and you get a dice with 4, you will move to R and complete the board.

All players who opt-in to The Blowout Challenge on the first day (between 9:00 ET and 23:59 ET on December 7, 2020) will receive a ticket to a ‘Blowout Welcome Freeroll’, which will award 10 Blowout Packages to the top 10 finishers of the freeroll.

The Sunday Million is the largest weekly poker tourney online, with a $1,000,000 guarantee!

Online poker giant, PokerStars, has unveiled the first details of one of its richest online poker tournament series, the Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) 2020.

And once again, it promises to be the operator’s most ambitious online tournament series in its 19-year history with guarantees totaling a staggering $85 million in prize money. The series guarantee is up $5 million from last year as SCOOP 2019 initially had $75 million guaranteed but was later increased to $80 million following the addition of new events.

No other online poker room has hosted a tournament series of this magnitude.

The first SCOOP 2020 events take place on April 30. The series runs for 20 days until May 19.

SCOOP is something we look forward to each year, and hope our players do too,” said Severin Rasset, Managing Director & Commercial Officer, Poker, Product and Innovation at PokerStars. “We take pride in planning a series that gives every player in the poker community something to enjoy.”

What to Expect from SCOOP 2020?

Although the full schedule has not been set in stone, as per the presser, SCOOP 2020 will feature an expanded schedule, comprising more than 80 events split into three different buy-in categories— Low, Medium, and High. This makes a total of at least 240 tournaments.

Last year, there were 219 tournaments in total, so the number of events has been increased by at least 21 tournaments for now.

SCOOP 2020 Main Events to Feature Combined Guarantees of $13 Million

The operator has also unveiled the buy-ins and guarantees for the three Main Events with total combined guarantees of $13 million — the most ever.

The Low tier Main Event with a buy-in of $109 will guarantee $3 million — a slight bump on the $2.5 million from last year; the Medium tier $1050 buy-in will guarantee $5 million — an increase of $1 million, and the High tier $10,300 buy-in will retain the same $5 million guarantee as last year.

In total, the Main Events will represent over 15% of the overall series guarantee.

Another event that has been showcased by the operator is the Three Phase tournaments with buy-ins of $2.20, $22 and $215. They will have total guarantees of over $3 million.

SCOOP 2020 Promotions

In addition to the $85 million guaranteed tournaments, PokerStars will be promoting the series with special offers that provide players the opportunity to pad their bankrolls and win their way into SCOOP events.

SCOOP Freerolls

Every day PokerStars is hosting Daily $5000 Second Chance Freerolls. Qualifying for these freerolls is pretty simple, just bust out of a SCOOP tournament without reaching the money.

In addition, the upcoming Sunday Storm Anniversary will give away 50,000 tickets to a special SCOOP Freeroll, where players can win seats to the Medium Main Event worth $1050.

SCOOP Leaderboard

A Player of the Series Leaderboard will also be part of SCOOP 2020. As usual, the leaderboard will reward players based on their participation and success; however, the awarding of prizes will be slightly different this year.

As per the presser, during the first half of SCOOP, the prizes for the leaderboard will be tickets to upcoming SCOOP events. During the second half of the series, players will be awarded cash prizes.

The leaderboard will also be used to determine the SCOOP Player of the Series. The player that finishes atop the leaderboard will receive $20,000 as well as a SCOOP Trophy.

Special SCOOP Spin & Gos

To help players qualify for the SCOOP events, PokerStars will be offering three Special SCOOP Spin & Gos with buy-ins of $0.75, $3 and $22. Each of them will award cash prizes as well as SCOOP tickets including entries to the Main Events.

These Special SCOOP Spin & Gos will run in addition to the satellites and qualifiers for SCOOP events.

Pokerstars Freeroll Portugal 2020

History of PokerStars’ SCOOP Series

PokerStars’ Spring Championship series has always been a staple of the online poker calendar. The upcoming SCOOP 2020 will be the twelfth edition as the first edition of SCOOP was held in 2009.

SCOOP has grown incredibly over the past few years. From 2013 to 2016, the guarantees were held at $40 million, but starting in 2017, it has grown $5 to $10 million every year.

Pokerstars Freeroll 2020 Results

Last year’s SCOOP featured 73 events with combined guarantees of $80 million in prizes, an amount it easily surpassed. It ended up paying over $105 million — a record in the online poker industry for the biggest payout for a single series. Even WCOOP 2019, which is considered more prestigious, awarded $104 million — a million shy from breaking SCOOP’s record.

Pokerstars Freeroll Schedule

This is very likely to be repeated for the 2020 edition, which runs April 30 to May 19.

Until then, PokerStars will be running its ultra-popular low-stakes series, MicroMillions with total guarantees of $2.67 million. It kicks off this Sunday, April 19 and runs through April 26, culminating with the $1 million guaranteed Sunday Storm Anniversary edition, serving as the MicroMillions Main Event.
