Rounding off the 100 billionth hand celebrations is the Ultimate Freeroll - a $1,000,000 tournament with $50,000 headed the winner's way!

How do I play the Ultimate Freeroll?

You enter by putting your knowledge to the test - there are 100 Trivia Freerolls, where the top 50 finishers will receive an Ultimate Freeroll ticket. These are password-protected and require players to answer a trivia question on the history of PokerStars.

You can find all 100 Trivia Freerolls in the PokerStars lobby, listed under Tourney -> Freeroll. They take place daily from June 5 - 29 at 09:00, 12:00, 15:00 and 18:00 ET.

Alternatively, you can simply deposit $50 or more with the bonus code 'ULTIMATE'; you can also deposit less with the bonus code 'SNG' and receive a satellite ticket. You have until 13:00 ET on June 30 to make deposits for the Ultimate Freeroll promotion.

Freeroll details

Name: $1M Ultimate Freeroll
Tournament starts: June 30, 17:00 GMT
Registration starts: Available now, see above
Prize pool: $1,000,000

Please Note: Ultimate Freeroll tickets are not transferrable, so if you already have a ticket, please do not participate in further qualifying events. The Ultimate Freeroll will have a capacity of 150,000 players. In the event that the tournament fills up, the deposit offer and Trivia Freerolls may be removed.

PokerStars' terms and conditions apply to this promotion and may be changed at any time.

Happened to me too, I think its cos I transferred $ to Full Tilt because I got a warning when I made the transfer about bonus eligibility.

Hi guys,

A quick message to PokerStars support should solve this issue very soon.

You can reach them by mail support@pokerstars.com and you should generally have an answer within a few hours!

Best of luck to everyone in the freeroll!

Gary.

Looks to me as if there could be problems going on for lots of people. Only 40k registered so far :(

Aside from that I cannot say anything else guys but I am sure PokerStars support will know whats going on and reply to everyone in rotation :)

Easy cash then I guess?

I'm sure more people will still register. Either way, this is of course a great opportunity to get some relatively easy money because such a large percentage of the field gets paid :)

hi, support wrote this for me:
Hello Juraj,

Thank you for your email.

When there is no bonus available for your account then you will
not see a bonus code box in the deposit screen.

If you cash out during an active bonus period before making a
qualifying deposit, you become ineligible for that bonus as lined
out in our terms and conditions. To avoid players becoming
ineligible without knowing, a pop-up message appears when a
cashout is requested during a bonus period making you aware that
you will forfeit the bonus if you go ahead with your cashout
request.

Should you choose to request your cashout nonetheless, the bonus
will no longer be available to you and no exceptions can be made
to this rule.

However, any pending bonuses you may have in your account are not
affected by that rule.

Thank you for your understanding.

What? How can you not be eligible for such a promotion? It's not even a cash bonus that you're receiving, but a ticket?

And you said you entered the bonus code right? If so, then what they're saying doesn't make much sense...

Looks like anyone who made a cash out is not going to be eligible for the tournament guys :(

Is easy. The code is almost a month active. When you have withdraw money in that period, before you make the deposit with the code ULTIMATE. You will lose the posibility to get a free ticket for this freeroll.

yes i wrote down the code and it said code is not valid or you didnt deposit enough money.
so if you want to play this freeroll you couldnt withdraw whole month? so thats the reason why there is only 40 000 people registered.
there is nothing about that we cant withdraw whole month in pokerstrategy ultimate freeroll news.
