So, it’s down to you. Are you ready to step up, complete challenges, and take weekly shots at winning a $10,300 Pass?
Four weeks. Multiple chances to win. Your EPT dreams could become a reality…
WHAT IS EPT SEASON?
The EPT season runs from Sunday, October 12 to Sunday, November 9, with 76 tournaments across 37 Episodes (i.e, events with multiple buy-in tiers). Nine of those events are special trophy events with real shiny silverware heading to the champions.
On Sunday, November 2, there’s a $22 EPT Mystery Bounty Special with a staggering $500,000 guaranteed in the prize pool. Participants* will be entered into a freeroll All-In Shoot Out with three EPT Gold Passes up for grabs.
*(Only players in the following licenses will be eligible for the All-In Shoot Out: .COM, .EU, .GR, .EE, .UK, .CH, .RO & .BG)
Players can also win Gold Passes through the Challenges window throughout the Season, and there are a further two Gold Passes up for grabs in the Power Path Express, taking place on the Season’s opening day: Sunday, October 12.
Plus, any player who competes in at least three episodes will earn an EPT Season prestige badge, proudly displayed on their PokerStars avatar as a mark of experience and achievement.
This is a celebration of everything that makes the EPT legendary. The best part? It’s built for players of all bankrolls, with buy-ins ranging from just $3.30 up to $1,050.
“The EPT Season is a great opportunity to enjoy the best of what accessible, fun online poker has to offer – from the fun of Mystery Bounties, to the excitement of an All-In Shoot Out or a traditional Sunday Million,” said Steve Clarricoats, Associate Director of Poker Operations at PokerStars. “And with seven Gold Passes up for grabs, there are more chances than ever to secure a seat in one of our world-renowned live events in some of Europe’s best locations.”
