PokerStars are celebrating 65 billion hands with a huge promotion

You can get in on the party simply by playing

PokerStars is ready to celebrate 100 billion played hands. They’re eagerly expecting this huge event, and they’re celebrating it with all of the PokerStars users. In doing so, they are celebrating every 5 billion hands with a milestone promotion, resulting in loads of cash for some lucky winners.

Right now, they’re getting close to 65 billion hands, and if you play on the site during this time you’ll have lots of chances to win some cash – every millionth hand is rewarded, and the 65 billionth hand is rewarded with at least $65,000. The whole promotion is worth at least $1 million for players.

The milestone hands are one of the best ways through which you can win money in any online poker room, and the PokerStars promotion is not different. Every player that’s dealt into the milestone hand wins a piece of the prize, calculated based on their last 50 hands (and they’re given $50 for every VIP Player Point won in the previous 50 hands). Also, every player starts off with $50 before the addition of the VPPs. And if you happen to win the milestone hand, it gets better – the prize is doubled. This scenario is available for every millionth hand on PokerStars.

For the Mega milestone hand (the big 65 billion) the prizes are ten times larger, literally – the awards are calculated the same way, but instead of $50 offered for every VPP, you get $500; you also get $500 to start you off. The winner of the mega milestone hand gets this prize doubled and $65,000 on top of it!

So, even if the site advertises that you will win at least $65,000, as you can see, you have lots of chances to win much more than that. For the duration of the promotion, the higher the stakes you play at, the more chances you have of winning more money. Also, you should play longer sessions and play games that are more likely to generate VPPs faster.

At the time we wrote this article, the number of hands dealt was closing in on 64,594,000,000 and growing fast. It won’t be long until the milestone will be reached and the promotion will come to an end. But it won’t end for long, as the 70 billionth hand will be just around the corner, and it will be time to do it all again.

So start playing on PokerStars and good luck in landing on a milestone hand!
