Neymar Jr. Featured in Unique New PokerStars Games; Women’s Sunday Sees Start Time Shift 

PokerStars has unveiled new unique Neymar Jr. Kick-Off games with a football theme and buy-ins starting at $1.

Capitalizing on its recent partnership with football star Neymar Jr., PokerStars is offering poker players a chance to mix their loves of both games. The new exclusive Neymar Jr. Kick-Off game features rich graphics and buy-ins starting at just $1.

The games are open to players of all levels to take a shot at big cash prizes with up to $50,000 up for grabs. Whether a player is more of an attacker or plays a bit defensive, these competitions offer something new on the platform.

How to play Neymar Jr. Kick-Off events at PokerStars

The Neymar Jr. events feature different football-inspired gameplay. Players start each match by buying in from $1 to $25 and finish each game by scoring a goal. The higher the buy-in, the closer to the goal a player starts.

As the game begins, players at the same buy-in level compete in “sprints.” These are four-person progressive knockout Sit & Go tournaments that last about five minutes.

When someone is eliminated, their value is split two ways. A percentage is added to the winner’s value and a percentage is awarded as cash directly to his or her wallet. This cash prize can be multiplied as well, meaning players could win more than $50,000 at higher stakes.

As players knock each other out, their own bounty values increase. They then move to the next sprint, where they are matched with players of similar bounty values.

When a player wins a sprint, they can jump right into the next one or save it for later. Every completed sprint gets players closer to the finish line, where they can be crowned one of many Kick-Off champions.

Any player winning a sprint and earning $50 or more scores a goal and wins their own bounty value. They also score all the additional bounties accumulated during the completed sprints.

Neymar Jr. Kick-Offs have already launched on the .NET platform. The games will roll out across additional markets throughout November.

Women’s Sunday starting time moved one hour 

Players who enjoy PokerStars’ weekly Women’s Sunday tournament will now notice the event running just a bit earlier. The new time, at 13:40 (ET), is meant to help more players get involved and will be reviewed via player feedback.

Late registration is still available for 90 minutes. A number of satellites starting at just $0.22 will also continue from Thursday to Sunday.  

“We’ve been doing a lot of work over the past year to enhance our Women’s Sunday and engage our female community in a way that rewards and entertains best but also works alongside their other priorities,” PokerStars associate director of consumer engagement and public relations Rebecca McAdam Willetts said in a news release.

Stars tested the buy-in at the lower price of $22 earlier this year. That received a positive response among players and saw increased attendance with the lower buy-in now in use.

“We’ve now also decided to amend the time of the event to see if it works better for our players,” Willetts said. “As always, we’d like to hear feedback on this and many other topics and would encourage women in our community to sign up to our insights community ‘Our Voices’ so we can continue to improve and offer the best experience possible.”

Since March, PokerStars has added extra value to one event a month for Women’s Sunday players. That has included tickets for events like SCOOP, WCOOP, and the Bounty Builder Series.

PokerStars has also worked to engage female players by shining a light on women in poker and the industry. Those efforts have ranged from unique content to special giveaways.

The company has also enhanced events and promotions to ensure better engagement and inclusion.

Partypoker Roundup: WPTDS Wraps Up With Timothy Kelly Taking Main Event For $171,804

The WPTDeepStacks Online Series concluded at partypoker on Tuesday with Canada-based Timothy Kelly scoring the Main Event title for $171,804.

The WPTDeepStacks Online Series concluded at partypoker on Tuesday with Canada-based Timothy Kelly scoring the Main Event title for $171,804.

The series ran Oct. 7-26 with numerous events and some major guarantees. Kelly’s win capped a series that also saw one player turn a freeroll ticket into a nice tournament win. Here’s a look at some of the series action.

A look at the partypoker WPTDS Main Event

The $1,100 Main Event created a prize pool of just over $1 million. Kelly held the chip lead going into the final table.

A wire-to-wire run saw him secure the win, but Kelly had some tough competition to overcome. He had to out play such top-notch players as third-place finisher Felix Stephensen, of Norway, and runner-up Jerry Ödeen, of Sweden.

The final table was streamed live across partypoker’s social media channels including Twitch, Youtube, and Facebook Live. 

Other partypoker series winners

The WPTDeepStacks Online included nine events with buy-ins ranging from $11 up to $5,200. Partypoker offered many free satellites and ticket giveaways for players to get in the action.

One Russian player freerolled his way to a big score. Sergei Brykalin was set to go on vacation, when he checked the partypoker Discord channel at the last moment.

Brykalin found a free ticket into the $11 Mini Turbo Knockout. After taking down a big pot with three tables left, Brykalin went on to claim the title. 

“A player with 45 big blinds sat down and opened to 4.5 big blinds,” Brykalin said. “He opened to 4.5 big blinds again from early position, and I had pocket Jacks in the big blind.

“All my 29 big blinds ended up in the middle of the table, and he called with eights. Miraculously, my Jacks held and I was now the chip leader. The rest is history.”

Brykalin outlasted 8,952 players, turning his freeroll into an $8,834 first place victory. 

Other players also found some big finishes. The series kicked off with Russia’s Aleksandr Zhilin winning the $215 Opener for $37,047. The event featured a $200,00 guarantee.

Another standout performance included Leonardo Nascimento Silva winning the $109 Mini Main Event for $32,261. The win continues a recent trend of dominating online poker performances from Brazilian players.

In the $109 Turbo Knockout, Jakub Wojtas grabbed a win for a top prize of $32,799. 

Christos Symeonidis also found a victory in the $320 Closer, which came with a $300,000 guarantee. The win came with a nice payday of $26,085.

More action in the works With Irish Poker Masters KO, MILLIONS Online

The WPTDS series may have come to an end, but more series are on the horizon. The Irish Poker Masters KO Online runs Nov. 5-24 at partypoker.

A complete schedule hasn’t been released, but the €1,100 Main Event features a €1 million guarantee.

The MILLIONS Online is also right around the corner, running Dec. 3-28. The series offers plenty of action to usher in the holiday season.

The €5,300 Main Event comes with a $5 million guarantee. Players can expect plenty of qualifying events for a large range of players.

Buy-ins ranging from mini versions of the bigger events to multiple high roller tournaments. Look for knockout events, turbos, Pot Limit Omaha, and more. The series should attract some of the biggest names in poker and a full schedule should be released soon.

GGPoker Launches GG Series of Poker With $7 Million Guaranteed; Site Goes Live In Netherlands

The latest GG Series of Poker features 54 events running through Nov. 7 with more than $7 million guaranteed and buy-ins starting at $2.50.

The latest GG Series of Poker (GGSOP) kicked off over the weekend at GGPoker with 54 events running through Nov. 7. The site hopes to make the series ultra-affordable with event buy-ins starting at just $2.50 and more than $7 million guaranteed.

The GGSOP schedule closely mirrors the site’s recent WSOP Online, but with buy-ins set at only a fraction of the price. The largest buy-in comes in at only $150.

“GGSOP is a tournament series designed for every kind of poker player, with affordable buy-ins and lots of events to choose from,” GG head of public relations Paul Burke said in a news release. “With millions in cash prizes up for grabs, we know GGPoker players will relish the chance to take down a GGSOP title.”

Highlights from the GGSOP

The series offers something for everyone with the $5 “Return” kicking off the series with numerous starting flights. That event came with a $100,000 guarantee.

Another highlight is the Millionaire Maker Jr., featuring a $15 buy-in and a $250,000 guarantee. At least $50,000 is awarded to the winner with the final day set for Oct. 30. Some other GGSOP highlights include:

  • $25 FLIP Ladies Championship (Oct. 24) $100,000 guaranteed
  • $50 GGSOP MILLION$ (numerous starting flights with final days set for Oct. 24, 31 and Nov. 7) – $1 million guaranteed
  • $50 GGSOP Main Event (Nov. 6) – $200,000 guaranteed

GG launches into the Netherlands

In other GGPoker news, the online poker site is now available to Dutch players. Following a soft launch period, players in the Netherlands now have full access to the global site.

GG received an online gaming license from Dutch regulators on Oct. 1. The company noted that it has solved a few delays encountered during the soft launch period.

The account setup and funding processes have also been streamlined wherever possible, GG noted in a news release. The company is among the first global operators to receive a Dutch license.

The Dutch-licensed operation offers the responsible gaming and other safer gambling features required by local regulations. The goal is to ensure each player’s peace of mind and control over their gaming activities.

“The online poker landscape has changed a lot since the closure of the Dutch market, several years ago,” GGPoker head of European operations Marco Trucco said.

“Arguably, the biggest difference is that GGPoker is now the largest poker site in the world and the place where everyone loves to play. We’re really excited to welcome Dutch players to GGPoker to compete for the most prestigious poker achievements or just to have some fun at the tables.”

Ready to Represent? PokerStars Contest Offers Players Chance To Become Brand Ambassador

Many poker players dream of representing an online poker brand and PokerStars is giving them a shot at making that a reality.

Many poker players dream of representing an online poker brand and traveling the world playing cards. PokerStars is giving regular Joes a shot at making at least some of that a reality.

The site announced the launch of its “Dare2Stream” challenge on Monday. The promotion runs through Dec. 17, awarding a coveted one-year ambassador contract to the winner.

How to join Team PokerStars?

PokerStars’ newest ambassador joins popular pros Lex Veldhuis, Fintan Hand, and Ben “Spraggy” Spragg. To join the team, PokerStars is looking for a top-notch Twitch streamer. Players entering the contest will need to showcase:

  • streaming skills
  • creativity
  • love for the game
  • how they engage with their community

“Supporting up-and-coming talent is a key part of our strategy, so we’re excited to launch this competition and celebrate the brilliant talent we have out there on the Twitch streets,” PokerStars associate director of communities and partnerships Scott Goodall said in a news release.

“We hope to find streamers who have lots of potential, creativity, drive to grow, and who are passionate about poker. We’re looking forward to seeing everyone’s entries and welcoming a new member to the team!”

To participate, players must fill out an online application form and join the PokerStars public Discord server. Competitors will also need to join “Team DareToStream” on Twitch and use the mature audience setting on the stream.

More PokerStars prizes on the line

Along with an ambassadorship up for grabs, PokerStars is offering up even more. The site is awarding numerous tournament tickets for simply streaming as part of the contest.

Tickets also go to players competing in the “Clip of the Week” challenge. This involves participants submitting their favorite clip of the week from their stream.

A panel of judges will select the two weekly winners. Here’s a look at some of what players can expect:

  • $109 Sunday Million tickets are awarded to the two winners of the Clip of the Week challenge.
  • Winners of the Clip of the Week challenge also have a $109 Sunday Million ticket bounty placed on them as part of the exclusive Dare 2 Stream weekly $5,000 guaranteed Home Game.
  • A $55 Home Game ticket is awarded weekly to entrants streaming a minimum of 10 hours in the previous week.
  • $109 Sunday Million tickets are awarded to those who complete a minimum of 50 streaming hours during the competition.
  • $11 Sunday Storm tickets are distributed to those who complete between 25-49 streaming hours during the competition.

PokerStars is looking to make one lucky streamer’s dream come true in December. PokerStars streamer Mason “pyefacepoker” Pye has experienced this kind of promotion first-hand.

“The fact that the winner of this edition of Dare2Stream will be joining Team PokerStars for a year is truly incredible and an opportunity that should not be missed,” Pye says.

“As a streamer who participated in a similar promotion before signing with PokerStars, being on the team has genuinely been a life-changing experience. I’ve had the opportunity to play, travel, and work with like-minded individuals both on and off-stream with the same goal in mind to help the growth of Twitch Poker.”

Qualifiers start at just a penny

Once again, partypoker hopes to get players of all types involved and qualifiers for the Main Event start at just $0.01. A full satellite tree is currently running on partypoker ahead of the tournament.

Players have an opportunity to follow in the footsteps of Yaroslav Bogaev and Nikolai Gorbunov. Both advanced to Day 2 of the Main Event in the recent WPT World Online Championships after entering at the centroll stage. Bogaev placed 39th and cashed for $23,499 and Gorbunov finished 99th for $13,204.

Also starting on Sunday, players can jump in qualifiers for the High Roller. Partypoker is running phase tournaments for that event, with buy-ins from $6 to $60.

These players can then move on to nightly $530 buy-in Phase 3 events. Players who advance then take their chips into the $5,200 buy-in Phased Final on Oct. 24.

“I’m very happy to have the chance to play in so many good tournaments at partypoker,” Team partypoker’s Joao Simao said in a news release. “And I’m sure the WPTDeepStacks Online Series will be an amazing series, especially with the satellite opportunities for players of all bankrolls.”
