PokerNews is offering you a chance to get your hands on some incredible added value at PokerStars in the form of money-added weekly and monthly freerolls. All that is required for you to play in these freerolls is an active PokerStars account and to be a reader of PokerNews.
Head to the PokerStars tournament lobby, and type “PokerNews” into the search bar to reveal the first batch of value-added PokerNews-exclusive freerolls. The first freeroll, the PokerNews Discord Exclusive Freeroll, shuffles up and deals at 7:00 p.m. GMT on 7 May, and sees you sit down with a generous helping of 10,000 chips and play to a ten-minute clock where the blinds start at only 25/50/5a. The structure is superb for a free-to-play tournament; having a $100 prize pool serves as an added bonus.
Although it is not advised, you can turn up to our freerolls fashionably late – here’s looking at your Phil Hellmuth – because late registration remains open for the first 50 minutes. You’ll also notice that each freeroll tournament is played as No-Limit Hold’em, but there is plenty of scope to add some of the many other poker variants and formats in the coming weeks and months.
You will notice that all of our freerolls are password-protected, so how do you receive the password? All of the passwords are revealed on the new and improved PokerNews Discord server 48 hours before each freeroll kicks off. If you are not part of our Discord channel (you should be because it is the place to be for PokerNews content and giveaways), you will find the password on our social media channels a few hours before the freerolls commence.
PokerNews Freeroll Schedule
The first PokerNews Discord Exclusive Freeroll in May is on May 7 and the sequel on May 14 comes with a whopping $250 added to the prize pool, and as entry is limited to PokerNews readers, your chances of walking away with a slice of the pie are better than in other freeroll tournaments.
