Poker Stars has accomplished many firsts throughout its illustrious existence as an online poker site, but the fact that they are steadily closing in on 40 billion poker hands is something that is very impressive indeed. They will be by far the first online poker site to reach that milestone and in celebration of it they will be passing on some of the rewards of a job well done to their real money online poker players.
It all starts with first millionth hand after the less impressive 36 billion hand limit is reached. At that point, Poker Stars will award a bonus to everyone participating in that hand equal to $40 multiplied by the total number of loyalty points earned at the table over the previous 40 hands. This will then continue to take place at every point up until the 40 billionth hand is dealt.
If you thought that bonus was impressive, you’ll definitely want to continue playing online poker at Poker Stars because you want a chance to be around when that 40 billionth hand gets dealt. The reason for this is that the bonus that you can get from it will be upgraded by quite a large amount. It is an entire order of magnitude larger because for every loyalty point in the previous 40 games, you’ll get $400 in bonus cash instead of just $40. No matter what has happened at the table at that time, you’ll be in for a very large bonus from Poker Stars.
The hand promotions are nice, but in typical Poker Stars format they are only part of a larger push to celebrate this momentous occasion. In addition to those deals, you can also get into a bunch of different sit and go tournaments that will only be around for the promotional period. You can also trade in 2500 loyalty points for a $40 cash back, something that you can only do once and only during the promotional period.
Finally, February 21st will see Poker Stars bring in the biggest guaranteed prize pool tournament in history, expected to have more than $4 million in guaranteed cash available.
