Grab your share of $400,000 in Sunday Million tickets

The Spooky Season Challenge is here. Complete chilling weekly challenges, collect Spooky Season chips and creep your way into All-in Shootouts, each with $100,000 in Sunday Million tickets up for grabs.

Opt in to the Spooky Season Challenge and you’ll also get your hands on an exclusive Throwable!

Get your spook on.

Get started by hitting ‘opt in’ in the Challenges Window and get your first treat – a Spooky Season Throwable.

Once you’re in, your progress will count across four weekly periods, which run Sunday-Saturday (October 11-November 7).

Each week, you’ll have four challenges to choose from:

• Play one Spooky Season tournament
• Play two MTTs
• Knock out eight players at Spin & Go tables
• Play 25 hands of All-In Poker

Complete a challenge to earn one Spooky Season chip. Collect five chips to automatically enter the next Spooky Season All-in Shootout. These will take place on October 18, October 25, November 1 and November 8 at 02:00 ET. $109 Sunday Million tickets will be credited to winners’ accounts immediately after each tournament has finished.

There’s no limit on how many times you can complete a challenge, so you can mix and match or stick with your favorite.

Here’s a twist. The Spooky Season tournament and MTT challenges run completely independently. For example, play two Spooky Season tournaments and you’ll earn three chips: two for completing the Spooky Season tournament challenge twice, plus one for completing the MTT challenge by playing two MTTs.

What is being offered

Spooky Season Challenge is a weekly offer consisting of poker challenges. There are four different challenges available, based on game type, with a total of five puzzle pieces (chips) to collect. 

Players who take part in Spooky Season Challenge during the offer period, as specified below, will receive a Chip Throwable upon opting in and will win an entry into a Spooky Season All-in Shootout tournament upon collecting five chips. There are no rewards for collecting individual chips.

When is the offer being conducted

This offer runs from 08:00 ET on October 11 until 23:59 ET on November 7, 2026, as follows:

• Week one: 08:00 ET on October 11 to 23:59 ET on October 17
• Week two: 00:00 ET on October 18 to 23:59 ET on October 24
• Week three: 00:00 ET on October 25 to 23:59 ET on October 31
• Week four: 00:00 ET on November 1 to 23:59 ET on November 7

Who is eligible to take part and how can you qualify

The offer is available to any player who holds an active and verified real-money account with PokerStars.

To participate in the offer and have their progress measured, players must first opt-in via the Challenges Window and then complete the poker challenges by playing eligible real money poker games to collect chips. Players will complete their puzzle by collecting five chips during the weekly offer period.

Only one initial opt-in is required. Any poker games played prior to opting in will not count towards the progress.

Challenges may be completed in any order across the different game types. Within each game type, however, challenges must be completed sequentially, starting with the first challenge before progressing to the next. Progress will reset to zero at the end of each weekly period.

Wagering requirements and limitations by type of game

Players will collect Spooky Season chips for completing different poker challenges by playing real money poker games, as follows:

• Play one Spooky Season tournament
• Play two multi-table tournaments (MTTs)
• Knock out eight players in Spin & Go
• Play 25 hands of All-In Poker

Any poker games not specified above are excluded from this offer.

Only playing real money poker games with cash balance counts towards challenge completion. Tournament re-entries or tournament entries using tickets or T-Money will not count. 

The Spooky Season tournament challenge and MTTs challenge operate independently. Each Spooky Season tournament played will count towards the Spooky Season tournament challenge and provide corresponding progress toward the MTT challenge. Playing other multi-table tournaments will not contribute additional progress towards the Spooky Season tournament challenge.

Claiming and redeeming the offer

Upon completing their puzzle players will win an entry to the Spooky Season All-in Shootout tournament for that week and be automatically registered in that tournament. There will be four Spooky Season All-in Shootout tournaments running as part of this offer, one per week. They will take place as follows:

• Spooky Season All-in Shootout One: October 18, 2026, at 02:00 ET
• Spooky Season All-in Shootout Two: October 25, 2026, at 02:00 ET

• Spooky Season All-in Shootout Four: November 8, 2026, at 02:00 ET

Entry to each Spooky Season All-in Shootout is limited to one per player. In an All-in Shootout tournament registered players are automatically put all-in until there is a winner, no login or game play is required. Full breakdown of prizes on offer in each Spooky Season All-in Shootout tournament can be found in the relevant tournament lobby. 

Prizes will be credited to winners’ accounts immediately after each tournament has finished.

What else do you need to know

Players can track their progress in their Challenges Window. Any chips collected during a given week that did not result in the completion of the puzzle will be lost after that weekly period has ended.

Players can check which tournaments they are registered in via the My Tournaments tab.
