PokerStars, Partypoker, and GGNetwork Announce Exciting Promotions for June

PokerStars, Partypoker, and GGNetwork have announced several exciting promotions and updates for the month of June. Here's what players can look forward to:

PokerStars' Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) series concluded with a massive prize pool of $105,133,091 across 219 tournaments. This series saw over a million entries, making it the first online series to reach a nine-figure prize pool. The success of SCOOP is evident in the sheer number of participants and the sheer amount of prize money up for grabs.

Additionally, PokerStars is celebrating the eighth anniversary of its popular Sunday Storm tournament with a guaranteed prize pool of $1,000,000 on June 16. The buy-in remains at $11, making it an attractive option for players looking to win a share of the massive prize pool. The tournament will start at 21:00 Moscow time, and there will be a wide range of satellite options available for players to qualify.

Partypoker's Knockout Series, which concluded on May 26, saw a total prize pool of $37.6 million across 224 tournaments. Despite overlapping with other major series, Partypoker's Knockout Series saw an overlay of $974,350 across 62 tournaments. The series featured a variety of buy-ins, with the most expensive tournament having a buy-in of $5,200. Partypoker's management views the overlay as a worthwhile marketing expense, as the series' overall guarantee was exceeded by 25%.

Following the Knockout Series, Partypoker launched its Monster Series, featuring 104 tournaments with buy-ins ranging from $1.1 to $55. The series includes a variety of formats, such as Mix-Max, progressive knockouts, and tournaments with increased starting stacks.
