Moneymaker Millionaire Tournament - Play for Free!

The World's Largest Free Poker Tournament

In 2003, a relatively unknown player went from playing online at PokerStars to being the face of poker, and winning $2.5 million. His name is Chris Moneymaker. Now, PokerStars is giving you the chance to become the next Moneymaker Millionaire.

The Moneymaker Millionaire is a free poker tournament that will be played online at PokerStars from July 24 - December 3, 2006. 27 players from our three rounds of online qualifying will advance to our final round, and play live at the Atlantis Resort and Casino in the Bahamas for cash and prizes.

Here's how you can become the Moneymaker Millionaire:

Daily Round 1 Tournaments
Every PokerStars player will receive one free entry ticket to play in one of the Moneymaker Millionaire daily Round 1 events. Once you've used your free entry ticket, you can enter additional Round 1 satellites for ten Frequent Player Points per event. There is no limit to the number of times you can play in our daily Round 1 events using FPPs. FPP's are Frequent Player Points earned by playing in real money games. For more information on FPPs see Online Promotions and Freerolls. The top 50 players in each of our daily Round 1 events will advance to our weekly Round 2.
