Freerolls

PokerStars regularly runs freerolls where players can win real money without paying a dime. The most common freerolls are satellites to bigger events or bigger freerolls, and FPP freerolls where the player can buy-in with points earned at the tables. The best freerolls, however, are usually exclusive to loyal players who accumulate lots of FPPs.

PokerStars run quite a few bigger freerolls as well, with prize pools reaching as high as $10,000. PokerStars also runs special freerolls for PokerListings players, with prize pools ranging from packages to the World Series of Poker Main Event and other live tournaments around the world to $10,000 cash.

Tournament Traffic

Real-money player statistics at PokerStars show 155,000 real-money tournament players at peak hours, as of November 2008.

Tournaments

PokerStars is the biggest online poker site in the world and is, hands-down, "the" place to go for tournaments. The high traffic ensures anyone looking for a tournament will find one that suits both his wallet and his game preference. Most events have low to medium buy-ins and run often, and the smaller buy-in tournaments tend to be quite loose and juicy.

For the high-stakes players there are plenty of $500 or more buy-in tournaments, with prize pools often passing the $1 million mark. The bigger buy-in events, however, tend to have some very talented competition and are not very easy to win or cash in.

Thankfully, the opposite is true for the smaller buy-in tournaments offered - these can see thousands of beginners battling it out, making some of the small guaranteed events very profitable for skilled players.

For example PokerStars runs 45-player and 180-player multi-table sit-and-gos that get running whenever they have enough players - generally, they start up every few minutes, so you never have to wait long for another opportunity if you bust out. These are some of the softest tournaments on the Web.

PokerStars also hosts the biggest guaranteed tournaments in the world, including the infamous PokerStars Sunday Million. "The Million" recently had its $1 million guaranteed prize pool upped to a guaranteed $1.5 million, giving even more of an incentive to play the biggest Sunday major on the web. And lately the numbers have been well above and beyond that even - recent tournaments have hosted more than 11,000 players and prize pools around $2.5 million.

Aside from the guaranteed tournaments, PokerStars runs the most satellite tournaments to major live and online poker events, like the World Series of Poker, the PokerStars.com European Poker Tour and the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure, to name just a few.

PokerStars is always expanding its tournament offerings based on player feedback. Soem of its latest addition are the "Double or Nothing" SNGs, in which half the field doubles their money, and multi-day events for special tournaments like the WCOOP Main Event.
