PokerStars has been up and running in the state of New Jersey for some time now and players have been taking advantage of everything the brand has to offer. One of the more popular events that PokerStars offers players is the New Jersey Championship of Online Poker. The latest running of this event will take place this October and see 43 events hosted online with $1.2 million in guaranteed prize money.
The series will take place from the 15th of October to the 31st and feature events with buy-ins ranging from $15 to $1,000. The series competitor, the Garden State Super Series, will be running at the same time and will offer $1.1 million in guaranteed prize money so PokerStars is trying to push their guarantees just a bit further, claiming they are offering the richest online poker series ever to take place in the state of New Jersey.
The schedule for the NJCOOP was created based on player appeal. PokerStars created gaming options that would appeal to a wide range of players including those with varying abilities. All bankroll sizes were considered so everyone could compete.
Qualifiers are now running each day so players can try to win a seat at a lower price. Satellites begin at just $1, making it easy for players to take part and hopefully earn a seat to a larger tournament in the series. The schedule of the NJCOOP includes several big events including the $1,000 NL Hold’em High Roller event which has a guaranteed prize pool of $100,000. The Main Event will have a $200,000 prize pool, guaranteed, with a buy-in of just $500.
Players can also win a seat to the Main Event by taking part in Spin & Go’s via PokerStars. These special Spin & Go’s will run from the 26th of September to the 30th of October with players paying just $2.50 to take part. Seats can be won to compete in the Main Event at a super low cost when compared to the $500 buy-in.
Along with the tournament events, the NJCOOP also includes a tournament leader board. When a player earns a payday during a tournament event, they will earn points based on a sliding scale. Consistent players who earn the most points will be able to earn cash prizes with $2,000 going to the winner and $10,000 in total given away.
