Win your share of $1,000,000 for free
What better way to kick off our Christmas Calendar and official countdown to the big day than with a $1M Freeroll. We’re giving away $1,000,000 in the last $1 Million Poker Freeroll of 2016 – one of the biggest tournaments ever hosted – and all real money players are invited to take part.
The $1 Million Poker Freeroll will be revealed behind the first door of the Christmas Calendar and it’ll take place on Thursday, December 1, awarding a staggering $1,000,000 in cash prizes - including $10,000 for the winner.
For the chance to enter the $1 Million Freeroll you need to win your seat through a daily All-in Shootout Qualifier. To secure your entry in a daily qualifier, complete a simple Challenge. You have nine chances to enter an All-in Shootout, one each day from November 21-29.
Plus, a chance to qualify through our Last Chance Skill Qualifier tournament on the day of the big freeroll – Thursday, December 1, by completing a simple Challenge on November 30 or December 1 up until 10:00 ET.
How to play the $1 Million Poker Freeroll
❶ Opt in to your simple daily Challenge, available from November 21-29, via your Challenge Window and complete it to be automatically registered into the next daily All-in Shootout Qualifier at 07:04 ET. You don’t even need to be present to be in with a chance of winning – all players will be all-in every hand until there’s a winner.
Players that complete a special daily Challenge on November 30 – December 1 until 10:00 ET will receive a ticket to the Last Chance Skill Qualifier played on Thursday, December 1, at 10:04 ET.

❸ If you win a seat in the $1 Million Poker Freeroll final, you will not need to complete further Challenges and you will be unregistered from further All-in Shootout tournaments and the Last Chance Skill Qualifier.
