PokerStars - Road to 100 Billion Poker Hands: 70 Billion
PokerStars is one of the largest and most successful poker rooms online. And much of that success comes from PokerStars’ client-first approach to service and promotions, a style that has earned it millions of loyal clients.
Over the years, PokerStars has dealt billions of hands, and now, it marches toward 100 billion. In honor of that, PokerStars is celebrating each 5 billion milestone. The next milestone is 70 billion, and it’s happening right now.

How It Works
PokerStars kicked off the promotion at 69,700,000,000 hands, and how it works is that each millionth hand between the start and 70,000,000,000 wins a cash prize. PokerStars has guaranteed $750,000 in cash prizes in all.
When dealt into a PokerStars milestone hand, players win $50 plus $50 for each VIP Player Point (VPP) that they earned in the previous 50 hands played at that same table. Better yet, PokerStars doubles the pot for that hand too.
Mega Milestone
When PokerStars reaches the 70 billion mega milestone, players win $500 plus $500 for each VPP earned in the previous 50 hands played at that table. In addition, PokerStars doubles the pot, and they kick in $70k for the winner.
The mega milestone winner can easily win $100,000 in a single hand, and it will likely be a lot more than that.
How to Participate
There’s nothing to it: Have a valid PokerStars account, and play at any PokerStars cash tables.
At that point, hope for a little luck. But with 300 milestone hands in all, there are some strategies to up your odds:
• Play at multiple cash tables, which most intermediate and expert players do anyway.
• Play in longer sessions, so pick well to start with, and then stick with them.
• Play action games, such as Limit Hold 'em and Pot Limit Omaha, which generate VPPs faster.
PokerStars is an active and exciting place even on its down days. As you can imagine, it’s at a fevered pitch right now as they make their way to the next big milestone. Do yourself a favor: Don’t miss out on the fun or the money.
