Download PokerStars for a once in a lifetime chance at sharing in a gigantic $10 million prize pool!

Next month will mark 10 years since PokerStars opened its doors to poker enthusiasts all around the world and the online poker giant is planning on celebrating in style, with millions of dollars in cash and added value up for grabs over the coming weeks.

Celebrating 10 Years of Action

To celebrate its 10th anniversary, PokerStars is offering a huge range of different promotions, more of which will be added over the next couple of weeks.

So far a gargantuan $10 million guarantee has been put in place for the Sunday Million, and a big PokerStars Caribbean Adventure giveaway is also in the books.

10th Anniversary Sunday Million

It’s the biggest Sunday Million to ever be offered and the huge $10 million guarantee is sure to draw a huge field of players with one goal in mind.

Some players might assume that PokerStars would have to increase the buy-in if it’s offering such a massive guarantee, but that’s not the case. The buy-in will still be the trademark $215 that players are accustomed to.

The first Sunday Million was played on March 5, 2006, and ever since then, it has become the premier weekly tournament in the world and is considered one of the most prestigious tournaments for a player to have on their resumes.

Be sure to mark Dec. 18 on your calendar. The 10th Anniversary $10 Million Sunday Million is not to be missed as a life changing $2 million is guaranteed for the eventual winner.

• Date: Dec. 18
• Time: 1430 EST (1830 GMT)
• Buy-in: $215
• Guaranteed Prize Pool: $10,000,000
• Top Prize: $2,000,000 guaranteed 1st place prize

There will be hundreds of satellites running in the days leading up to the $10 Million Sunday Million, so be sure to check in the PokerStars client and you could win millions of dollars by satelliting from as little as $1.

10th Anniversary PCA Giveaway

Over the years, PokerStars has established itself as not only the biggest and most popular online poker site, but has also continued to offer some of the best live tournaments in the world.

One of the most popular live events on the yearly tournament calendar is the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure and in celebration of its 10th anniversary, PokerStars will be giving away 100 PCA prize packages.

Each prize package is worth $15,000 and offers a $10,000 buy-in to the Main Event, a luxury hotel package plus expenses.

The best part of the PCA giveaway is the fact that players can win themselves a package for absolutely no outlay.

PokerStars is running free-to-play qualifiers every ten minutes and the top 10 players in each of these qualifiers will win a seat in the PCA Weekly Finals. Players are only eligible to play one of these freerolls each day but there are also FPP buy-in satellites and cheap-rolls on offer as alternatives to win PCA Weekly Finals seats.

The weekly finals run every Sunday from Nov. 13 through to Dec. 11 and along with offering the PCA packages also offer cash prizes to the top 1,000 finishers.

To further celebrate, PokerStars is offering a free PCA weekly final ticket to any player who makes a deposit. First time depositors should use the bonus code ”FIRSTPCA,” and existing players should use the bonus code ”PCA100” when reloading.

PokerStars is celebrating its 10th Anniversary next month and will mark the milestone by giving players a chance at countless promotions and giveaways, including the biggest Sunday Million ever.

On Dec. 18, 2011, the site’s weekly flagship event will offer a guaranteed prize pool of $10 million – the largest ever for a Sunday Million – and still with a buy-in of just $215. The winner will collect a colossal top prize of at least $2 million. The last player to win $2 million in a single tournament on PokerStars was Tyson “POTTERPOKER” Marks when he won the 2010 World Championship of Online Poker $5,200 buy-in Main Event in for $2,278,097.

PokerStars will also be giving away 100 packages (each worth more than $15,000) to the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure, which takes place from Jan. 5 through Jan. 14, 2012, in Paradise Island, Bahamas. Beginning Nov. 13 and running through Dec. 11, PokerStars will host two weekly qualifiers, each of which will award 10 PCA prize packages and $10,000 in cash to the winner.

“Amazing that it’s been 10 years! I’m very proud of my association with PokerStars, and this December’s 10th Anniversary Celebration is going to be a doozy!” said Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu. “There will be tons of cash prizes for bankrolls of all sizes, plus giveaways and a $10 million Sunday Million event.”

PokerStars launched its real-money poker site on Dec. 12, 2001, and has since become the largest online card room in the world. The site ran its first Sunday Million on March 5, 2006, when American poker pro Daryl “aaaaaa” Jace bested a field of nearly 6,000 players to collect the top prize of $173,844. Since that day, the Sunday Million has been regarded as the biggest and most anticipated weekly online poker tournament on the Internet.
