In this article, you’ll find all you need to know about the new Jet Set Season, including how to opt in, what you can win, and the full schedule of tournaments.

Poker players seeking their next challenge after the Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) need look no further.

PokerStars has announced the Jet Set Season, a month-long celebration of great value tournaments running June 6 – July 8, 2025, and a fun promotion packed with challenges and exclusive prizes, including brand new Throwables and tournament tickets.

WHAT IS JET SET SEASON?

Jet Set Season is built around the Jet Set Challenge—a bingo-style score card that players complete by entering Jet Set Season tournaments (or “episodes”).

Each card contains 20 famous landmarks from four continents (five on each row), and the more landmarks and continents you tick off (using “miles” you earn from playing tournaments and completing challenges), the more prizes you can win.

The best part? While buy-ins range from $3.30 up to $1,050, this promotion is primarily focused on low-stakes events, allowing everyone to take part. There are 27 episodes and 60 tournaments total, as some events feature multiple buy-in tiers.

Plus, some episodes come with special trophies awarded to the winners!

The Season will also feature some special episodes hosted by PokerStars Ambassadors. Players who eliminate the host Ambassador during these episodes will earn a $109 ticket to the Jet Set Season Finale, along with an exclusive Parker ‘tonkaaaa’ Talbot Throwable.

Find out how it all works below, then strap in and kick off your adventure.

HOW JET SET SEASON WORKS

Anyone can play Jet Set Season tournaments, but those who have opted in to the Jet Set Challenge via the Challenges window will have extra incentive to play.

Here’s why.

Take on the Jet Set Challenge

All players who opt in will be issued a bingo-style card listing 20 famous landmarks from four continents. To reach each landmark and tick it off your card, you’ll need to have collected a certain number of “miles”, and you’ll do this in two ways.

Players receive 200 miles automatically for every Jet Set Season tournament they play. So, play enough Season episodes and you’ll work your way through your board.

But there’s also an option to complete daily challenges to earn extra miles. These challenges include:

Playing 3 MTTs (Multi-Table Tournaments)
Knocking out 3 players in Spin & Go
Playing 50 hands of Zoom poker
Completing 25 All-in Poker hands
Playing 40 Cash Game hands

The cool thing is that Challenges can overlap. For instance, if you enter your third MTT and it’s also a Jet Set Season event, you’ll bag the 200 base miles plus a bonus for completing the MTT challenge. Better yet, there’s no limit to how many challenges you can finish per day, letting you accumulate miles at your own pace. It all adds up.

Every time you reach a landmark on your card, you’ll receive a Chest containing exclusive Throwables. Some chests will also be loaded with $109 Sunday Million tickets, so keep your fingers crossed.

If you conquer a continent (i.e. you tick off all five landmarks in one row), then you’ll be entered into an exclusive All-In Shootout on Monday, July 7, where tournament tickets will be up for grabs. You don’t even need to be logged in to PokerStars to win!

All four continents have their own All In Shootout, so if you conquer all four, you’ll have four chances to win.

The All-In Shootouts award:

$30,000 for the Asia AISO
$60,225 for the Europe AISO
$101,500 for the Americas AISO
$125,300 for the Africa AISO

Players will need to opt in to their challenges window between June 6 and July 7 to take part.

“Jet Set Season is designed to let players kick back, play some friendly, competitive poker and have fun for a few weeks, after the intensity of SCOOP,” said Steve Clarricoats, Director of Poker Operations.

“It’s the online poker equivalent of kicking back in the sunshine with your friends and will hopefully bring the summer travel vibes to the players who are around at the online tables in the sunny season”.
