Five ways to win a million. Will you be the next millionaire?

pokerstars has made many millionaires over the years, and now we are making even more! PokerStars Makes Millionaires is a series of exciting new promotions that give every type of player the chance to compete for a million dollar payday over eight weeks of action.

There’s five ways to become a poker millionaire, just like Chris Moneymaker when he qualified for the World Series online at PokerStars and went on to win the Main Event in Las Vegas back in 2003.

Ready to take your shot at becoming the next poker millionaire? Find out how to take part below.

Here’s how you can become a PokerStars millionaire (click through to find out more):

Become a millionaire in minutes!

You can win a cool million dollars for a buy-in of just $5 with special $1 Million Spin & Go’s! If you didn’t already know, Spin & Go’s are 3-max Hyper-Turbo tournaments that see all players start with just 500 chips. Before the fast-paced action kicks off, a spinner in the middle of the table reveals how large the prize pool will be, up to a million dollars for a limited time only. There are plenty of ways to become a millionaire with PokerStars, but none of them are as quick as this!



Prizes and Probability

The majority of the $1 Million Spin & Go’s are played as ‘winner-takes-all’ tournaments, except for when your Spin & Go hits one of the three highest prize tiers. In these Spin & Go’s, the second and third-place finishers also receive a prize.

$5 Spin & Go’s feature a top prize of $1,000,000 for the winner, with $100,000 set aside for each of the runners-up in that millionaire-making tourney.

Here’s a breakdown of the prizes you can win in these special Spin & Go’s, and the probability of your Spin & Go getting each prize:

Nice promotion from Pokerstars, it was about time (as an online poker market leader) that they launch something big as this.
I really like it, except the part where they give a ticket to ''Millionare final'' only to the All-in Shootout winner. I mean if you win an All-in Shootout you're already big winner; why not allow much more players to get a ticket for a shot at 1 million$??

I'd rather them spread out the promotions so rather than flashing that big shiny million they give out a bunch of $250k, $100k, or still potentially life changing $10k. It's more likely too that the money from a $10k award would stay in poker than a $1million prize, thereby helping Pokerstars and the poker world. Maybe the big shiny million guarantee gets more $5 Spin&Gos in the short run but instead a couple hundred $10k awards benefits everyone much more, or even 40 $100k prizes.

I reckon that probably has more to do with the huge amount of Russian players on Pokerstars, rather than some great conspiracy. Russia is after all the biggest country in Europe....
The Russians are coming!!! :D
