PokerStars is a top online poker room for many reasons, one of which is how the brand continues to reach various milestones seemingly every month of the year. PokerStars is constantly meeting player expectations, hosting massive online poker events, tournaments, cash gaming, etc. The list goes on and one. The latest milestone for the brand comes as the site has seen 100 million players register for an account.
PokerStars has announced that 100 million players have opened up an account with the brand, with players spanning the globe, including Italy and Spain. The lucky player who managed to be the 100th million member is known as ArtiB73 online and created the account on the PokerStars.fr site. Once the account was made, a new promotion was set into motion at PokerStars that will last for the remainder of the month.
Players have from today until the 29th of February to enjoy the fantastic gaming rewards that PokerStars will offer as part of the unique celebration. Players have three options to take part with VIP Steps Challenges, Milestone Challenges and more.
From today until the 14th, PokerStars will host the VIP Steps Challenges. Players will earn StarsCoin during this option, which is the new currency used at PokerStars. The coins can be used to purchase luxury items, cash and tournament tickets.
During the two week time frame, players will find 100 million StarsCoin up for grabs. This amount of coin has a value of over $1 million. Take part in three VIP Steps for 1,000,000 StarsCoin and 10 VIP Steps to win as much as 2,000,000 StarsCoin. To begin, players simply choose Start from the Challenges window and then keep track of progress as you compete.
Then, from the 15th to the 29th, players can compete in the daily challenges created by PokerStars that are related to milestones in the history of the brand. Choose the Start button and you will have 24 hours to complete the daily Gold or Silver challenge. Once you complete the challenge, you will earn a reward such as a ticket to a major tournament or cash.
Such milestones that will be included in this round of challenges will include the beginning of Zoom Poker, Sunday Million being created in 2006 and the millionaires created last year during the Spin & Go tables. To take part, players need to play in stakes of $0.05/$0.10 but heads-up action will not be included. The tournament challenges can be found at MTT, Spin & Gos, Sit & Gos and satellites, with minimum buy-ins of $1.
On the 27th, PokerStars will be offering the $100,000 Added VIP Club Tournament. This event will have an entry fee of just 50 StarsCoin. Players can buy-in via the VIP Star by using the StarsCoin earned. These coins can be earned for the event by competing in the challenges during the first of the month. Coins can easily be earned as you take part in other competitions of the milestone option to be able to compete in the big event.
The Milestone events are just one way that PokerStars continues to reward players and take advantage of the milestones that take place within the brand. The entire month will be filled with special events, allowing players to enjoy new game play options and reap the rewards. This milestone celebration is a bit different from other milestone options such as the many Milestone Hand Celebrations normally found at PokerStars. Despite the differences, players can still earn massive rewards while taking part in the unique gaming options offered only by the top gaming brand.
