The Brazilian Series of Poker (BSOP) Online is back for its fifth edition. The series returns July 7. and runs until July 12, giving you six days of international action, and over $1.6 million guaranteed across 25 events.

It’s a tightly packed schedule, and there’s a very special bonus freeroll running too. Here we help you to make the most of BSOP Online in three easy steps:

Step 1: Play the BSOP Mega Freeroll

If you want to win your way into the BSOP Online for free, there’s no better opportunity than the BSOP Mega Freeroll, running the first day of the series, Wednesday July 7.

The freeroll will be giving away $20,000 worth of tickets, including High Roller and Main Event tickets to first and second place finishers, and prizes for the top 40 players.

It makes sense to kick off your BSOP Online journey here, see what happens, and maybe win a free ticket or two.

You can find the BSOP Online freeroll under the “BSOP Online” tab in the PokerStars lobby.

Step 2: Pick your tourneys

BSOP Online is an international event open to all players on PokerStars.com

If you earned free entries already, then great! Either way, check out the full schedule to see what’s on offer at your buy-in level.

For lower stakes players, you’ll find one $5.50 event (the Micro Wrap-Up) one $11 events (the Big Hit), and five $22 events. Higher stakes players can find buy-ins up to $530 (the High Roller) and plenty of action for $109 and $215.

There’s also satellites running for each individual event. Playing a few of these before the series starts is another way to potentially save on your bankroll.

Step 3: Don’t miss the Main Events

BSOP Online will feature three Main Events:

#15: $215 PLO Main Event, $25k gtd
#18: $215 NLHE Main Event, $450k gtd
#19: $22 NLHE Mini Main Event, $100k gtd

Of these, the $215 NLHE Main Event is by far the biggest and most prestigious tournament in BSOP Online. If your bankroll allows, you can buy in directly. If not, you can still make it your mission to gain entry – satellites are running for as little as $2.20.

The $215 PLO Main Event is the obvious choice for Omaha players, and the Mini Main Event is perfect for smaller bankrolls.
