FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q. What's this all about?

A. We are giving away 25 packages to this year's World Series of Poker $10,000 championship event to our play money players. Each package includes a $10,000 buy-in to the main event, $1,000 spending cash, and luxury Las Vegas accomodations for nine nights.

Q. Great! Who's eligible?

A. You are eligible if:
  1. You had an account at PokerStars as of midnight on May 25th, 2005.
  2. You have never made a real money deposit to that account.
  3. You have never played in a real money game at PokerStars.

Q. But I'm a loyal PokerStars customer who's been playing real money games with you for years. What about me?

A. We've already got you covered! We deeply appreciate our players who have been playing in real money games already. And we have all kinds of opportunities for you to win seats too - we're giving away 100 WSOP seats to our frequent players. You can read about those opportunities here.

Q. Okay - I'm eligible. How do I qualify?

A. To win one of these seats:
  1. Make a real money deposit to your PokerStars account.
  2. Play in real money cash games and/or tournaments (multi-table or sit-and-go) and accumulate Frequent Player Points (FPPs).
  3. For every 10 FPPs you accumulate, you can play in a Round 1 satellite. The top 18 players (final two tables) in each Round 1 satellite win a seat into a Round 2 satellite.
  4. Either by winning a Round 1 satellite or by accumulating 100 FPPs, you can play in a Round 2 satellite. There will be four Round 2 satellites. The first three will award six seats to the WSOP; the fourth will award seven seats.

Q. Don't I have to deposit a lot of money?

A. We've reduced the minimum deposit for NETeller to $25, so that's all you need to deposit. If you use our other deposit methods, the minimum deposit is still $50.

Q. Can I win a seat into more than one Round 2 satellite?

A. Absolutely. Each time you win a Round 1 satellite or accumulate 100 FPPs, you can enter a Round 2 satellite. Of course, there are only four Round 2 satellites, so there's no point in winning more than four Round 1 events. If you accumulate extra FPPs, that's fine since you can buy things with them in our FPP store, and use them for other tournaments.

Q. Can I win more than one WSOP seat?

A. Well, sort of. Obviously, you can't have more than one seat in the WSOP itself. But if you win more than one Round 2 satellite, we will credit 10,000 W$ to your account, plus $1,000 cash.

Q. When are the Round 1 satellites?

A. Four times daily, beginning on May 30th: 1:00 AM, 3:30 PM, 8:30 PM, 11:00 PM. All times are Eastern Time.

Q. When are the Round 2 satellites?

A. Sundays: June 5, 12, 19, 26, at 2:00 PM Eastern Time.

Q. I won a Round 1 satellite, but it's not convenient for me to play in the Round 2 satellite that I was registered for. What should I do?

A. You can "unregister" from the Round 2 satellite and will receive 100 FPPs deposited to your account. You can then use them as you wish (including registering into a later Round 2 satellite).

Q. My husband opened a PokerStars account last year but never played on it. Can I play on that account under this promotion?

A. No. If your husband wants to play and attempt to win a seat, that's great. But we specifically intend this promotion for players who are new to real money poker. We will disqualify players who attempt to circumvent that.

Q. What are my obligations to PokerStars if I win a WSOP seat?

A. Thank you for asking. Please read our Terms and Conditions for your obligations should you win a WSOP seat in this promotion.
