PokerStars on FanDuel Unveils Dynasty Builder: Thrill and Grind Missions for All

The launch of the new PokerStars on FanDuel platform has been one of the biggest developments we’ve seen in US online poker in a while. Two gaming giants came together to bring out a fresh platform and offer some exciting changes, setting up tournaments with massive guarantees and introducing a new rewards program that’s better tailored to the expanding user base.

Dubbed Dynasty Builder, the poker-centric rewards system on new FanDuel Poker brings a mix of easy-to-complete, one-off challenges and missions designed to cater to dedicated grinders who are always on the lookout for some extra value for their time and efforts. The new setup works well for what the brand aims to achieve, which is keeping the existing PokerStars customer base happy, while also attracting some fresh blood from FanDuel’s casino and sports betting platforms.

Thrill Missions are designed primarily with casual players in mind. These are recurring and simple-to-complete challenges that bring rewards such as tournament tickets, fun throwables, exclusive avatars, and more. While many of the rewards on offer are what we could call gimmicks, there is a fair bit of value up for grabs as well. For example, one of the first Thrill Missions gives all players who lost with pocket aces a ticket to a big satellite awarding 75 entries into the PokerStars Ignite Series Main Event. That’s over $22k in value that players can access by playing a few hands.

Grind Missions are designed to reward those players who put in regular volume at the tables. It is a weekly system that gives back up to $1,000 in rakeback, with 16 individual milestones players can complete along the way. A great thing about it is that missions start fresh every week, so players don’t have to worry about maintaining their status over long hauls.

Legend Missions, focusing on long-term goals, are in development and will offer the best rewards to the most dedicated players.
