PokerStars is officially celebrating its 25th anniversary with a massive online festival. The PokerStars Anniversary Series is set to take place from May 10 to June 3, 2026, offering players a month of high-stakes action and prestigious rewards.
The festival boasts a total of $50 million in guaranteed prize pools spread across 461 individual tournaments. To ensure inclusivity, the series features 156 unique events, most of which utilize a three-tiered buy-in system (Low, Medium, and High). Entry fees are designed for all bankrolls, ranging from $5.50 to $15,000.
Players can expect a diverse schedule including mixed games and innovative tournament formats. Beyond the cash prizes, PokerStars is awarding physical trophies to both tournament winners and top performers on the series leaderboards. Note that trophy shipping is restricted for players located in Belarus, Ukraine, Sweden, and Austria.
