Qualification Round 1 for the first Millionaire Final will run from April 6-17. Open your ‘Challenges’ window in the PokerStars desktop client or Mobile app to get started. 

There are six Challenges in Round 1. One is a fast-track Challenge which you can complete by depositing $10 or more, and the other five are ring game Challenges based on winning hands played by players who have become millionaires in PokerStars live and online tournaments. This means you can use your skills to follow in the footsteps of famous players like Chris Moneymaker, Liv Boeree, Jake Cody and more.

For each completed Challenge, you will earn entry to an All-in Shootout with a prize pool of $150,000.

The winner of each of the six All-in Shootouts in Round 1 advances to the six-player Millionaire Final 1 tourney on May 10 at 13:00 ET, where we’ll be making one cash millionaire and two FPP millionaires! 

In the All-in Shootouts, you don’t even need to be present to be in with a chance of winning, as all players who have registered in advance will be all-in every hand until there’s a winner. That means you could advance to the Millionaire Final in minutes! You may make it to the Final by chance, but in the Millionaire Final itself, you’ll need to play to win the grand prize.
