PokerStars is wrapping up 2024 and setting the tone for the coming 12 months with the massive New Year Series. The online poker giant is hosting a an action-packed festival between December 22 and January 14 that has a quite astonishing $35 million in combined guaranteed prize pools.

The New Year Series follows in the footsteps of the Spring Championship Of Online Poker (SCOOP) and World Championship Of Online Poker (WCOOP) in that most of the 160 numbered events have low, medium, and high buy-in tiers. By the time the final event crowns its worthy champion, some 352 New Year Series tournaments will be done and dusted, and at least $35 million awarded.

Players will be put to the ultimate test during the New Year Series, with tournaments featuring several formats and variants, including No-Limit Hold'em, Pot-Limit Omaha variants, H.O.R.S.E., Stud, 8-Game, and more. Tournament types include freezeouts, re-entries, progressive knockouts (PKOs), mystery bounties, and everything else you can think of. The New Year Series will be a poker festival to remember.

Try not to overindulge on New Year's Eve because three New Year's Special Tournaments run on January 1. These no-limit hold'em events have buy-ins playing on 2025, and guarantees of $300,000 or $500,000.

PokerStars' generosity is there for all to see in the Million Dollar Ticket Machine. As the name suggests, this special promotion will dish out $1 million worth of New Year Series tickets, doing so between December 9 and January 6.

A daily raffle takes place between those dates, and every PokerStars player receives a ticket once they log into their account. There's also a weekly raffle where you can have up to four raffle entries depending on how much you contribute to the cash game rake or pay in tournament fees.

• Between $5 and $9.99 – one raffle entry to the next draw
• Between $10-$24.99 – a second raffle entry to the next draw
• Between $25-$69.99 – a third raffle entry to the next draw
• More than $70 – a fourth raffle entry to the next draw

Weekly draws take place on Mondays, December 16, 23, and 30, with a fourth and final draw on January 6.

Inaugural Power Path Open

December 29 sees the inaugural Power Path Open take place. Capped at 1,000 entrants, the Power Path Open costs $109 to enter, or you can use a Bronze Pass to get in on the action. This special event pays the top 165 finishers, with 150 receiving a Sunday Million Anniversary ticket, 10 getting their hands on $2,500 Silver Passes, and the top four finishers receiving a $10,300 Gold Pass!

PokerStars Launches "Take Your Shot" Ticket Bundles

Silver and Gold Pass winners have always been able to redeem those passes for a bundle of online tickets. However, for the New Year Series and beyond, Silver and Gold Pass winners can redeem their passes for a "Take Your Shot" online ticket bundle that contains more high-value tickets than the traditional bundle.

For example, a typical Silver Pass online ticket bundle contains 4x $215 tickets, 6x $109 tickets, 8x $55 tickets, 15x, $22 tickets, 18x $11 tickets, and $18 worth of tournament dollars. The Take Your Shot edition awards 2x $1,050 tickets, 3x $109 tickets, and $73 in tournament dollars.

Similarly, the standard Gold Pass ticket bundle awards 3x $1,050 tickets, 6x $530 tickets, 22x $109 tickets, 20x $55 tickets, 20x $22 tickets, and $32 in tournament dollars. This bundle's Take Your Shot version sees your PokerStars account credited with 6x $1,050 tickets, 4x $530 tickets, 4x $215 tickets, 9x $109 tickets, and $39 worth of tournament dollars.

These new bundles give you the choice of playing more volume or for higher stakes, giving you more flexibility than ever before.

This flexibility continues into Power Path Live Bundles. You can now use Silver and Gold Passes how you wish. You can choose to play a single event and keep the rest of the pass's value for expenses or use the entire amount on live event buy-ins. Work with the Live Events Player Liaison team to build your dream package.
