Pokerstars is running a promotion between August 12 – September 4 with a total of $500,000 in prizes, and all you have to do to participate is to complete some simple daily "Challenges".
All you need to do to take part in one of the Challenges is to press the Start button in the Summer Challenge window in the Pokerstars lobby, and see what the Challenge on that given day is.
Once you complete a challenge, you will gain entry into a "Challenge All-in Shootout" tournament, each of which have a prize pool between $10,000 and $30,000, including at least $1,000 cash for the winner (as well as a bonus prize of a $215 tournament ticket that you can use to enter any WCOOP 2014 event).
The All-in Shootouts happen every day at 14:05 ET, but don’t worry if you are busy, these kind of tournaments don’t require for you to be at your computer, you just have to register in advance. A new Daily Challenge becomes available at 00:00 ET every day.
If you complete 10 Daily Challenges you can gain entry into a $150,000 Summer Bonus Challenge All-in Shootout tournament organized on September 6 at 14:05 ET, where the winner wins $10,000 and a $5,200 ticket for the 2014 WCOOP Main event.
The top 256 players win a $215 ticket that they can use in any $215 WCOOP 2014 event. In total there will be $100,000 in cash rewards and $50,000 in WCOOP tickets. The Daily Challenge tickets will be credited in 2 hours after you finish a Challenge.
It’s very important that you press Start on your Bonus Challenge before you start with the Daily Challenges, because Challenges completed before clicking on Start don’t count towards the progress of your Bonus Challenge.
