How to Qualify

You can win your 2010 World Series of Poker* seat with the following types of PokerStars satellite, all available now:

Cash Satellites - Use your bankroll to buy in directly to PokerStars cash satellites, available in range of buy-ins that suit players at every level.

FPP Satellites - The perfect way to turn your well-earned Frequent Player Points (FPPs) into a huge payday.

Steps Satellites - Make your way up the Steps ladder to win a prize package. Even if you don’t win a ticket to the next Step, you could still be awarded another ticket to the one below. You can also buy in to any Steps level, which means you don’t have to start at Step 1. See the PokerStars Steps page for more on how they work.
