Win Your Main Event Ticket in Depositor’s Freeroll or Special Edition Spin & Goes
To make things even more interesting, PokerStars is running a couple of extra promotions throughout the Winter Series along with awarding the watches to all Championship winners.
The first of these is the $10k Leaderboard, which will award the 10 best-performing and most consistent players in the Series, with $2.5k of that money reserved for the top finisher on the Leaderboard.
Rewards start even before you win anything, as a special Depositor’s Freeroll will be played on January 27, awarding 50 Main Event tickets to the top finishers.
To get into the Depositor’s Freeroll, all you need to do is make a deposit of at least $50 into your PokerStars PA account using promo code WINTER, and you will be awarded an entry ticket, giving you another chance to play in the Winter Series Main Event.
If you don’t like the idea of the Freeroll being your only chance to win a Main Event seat, join one of the many $3 Spin & Goes that will be running on PokerStars PA and give yourself a chance to win a chance to win one of the Main Event seats that will be given out via these special edition tournaments.
Join PokerStars PA today to get into the action, claim your Depositor’s Freeroll ticket, and enjoy playing in dozens of Winter Series events still left on the schedule.
