The latest success of the Stars Group should be indication enough. The world\u2019s most popular poker firm hosted <strong>a staggering $100 million tournament<\/strong> for the online denizens, offering amateurs and aspiring pros a rare opportunity to rake in live-changing amounts. A lot has happened during the past week, with PokerStars not shy to highlight its achievements:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Weekly Round-up: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/cs2GJ6xLn0\">https:\/\/t.co\/cs2GJ6xLn0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WCOOP?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#WCOOP<\/a> concludes<br \/>\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Liv_Boeree?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Liv_Boeree<\/a> interview<br \/>\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mkonnikova?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@mkonnikova<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/PlatinumPass?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#PlatinumPass<\/a> giveaway<br \/>\u2022 @RaSZi plays to 33,000<br \/>\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ArlieShaban?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ArlieShaban<\/a> skins the Dutch lion<br \/>\u2022 Turn $2 into an EPT Prague package this Sunday<br \/>\u2022 New Poker in the Ears Podcast <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/FRBOuv8YYw\">pic.twitter.com\/FRBOuv8YYw<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; PokerStarsBlog (@PokerStarsBlog) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PokerStarsBlog\/status\/1043083393846661120?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 21, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasdaq.com\/press-release\/the-stars-groups-pokerstars-concludes-largestever-online-poker-series-with-11-million-entries-and-20180920-00797\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Poker Stars World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) has definitely been one of the most significant events<\/a> of poker to this day. To be able to appreciate the jump in the popularity of the event, just bear in mind that the 2017th edition attracted fewer entries, and most importantly, a prize pool that was <strong>$30 million lower<\/strong> than what PokerStars managed to amass for this year\u2019s iteration! <\/p>\n<p>Looking at the hard numbers, it\u2019s difficult not to be humbled either. With over 1 million entries (a lot of which were re-entries, naturally), the tournament definitely showed how popular of an event it is. Estimated <strong>148,000 unique players<\/strong> from 140 countries signed up.<\/p>\n<p>Going through the actual <strong>schedule of the event<\/strong>, there were over 185 gigs that catered to players of all backgrounds. Whether contenders wanted to join with small stakes or play the high roll from the get-go, that was entirely up to them. There were plenty of opportunities to play <strong>satellite events<\/strong>, allowing you to build a steady bankroll and make a claim on the big titles. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"platinum-passes-up-for-grabs\">Platinum Passes Up for Grabs!<\/h2>\n<p>In light of the upcoming Caribbean Adventure, the PokerStars online gig didn\u2019t pass up on the opportunity to dish out as many as seven <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onlinepokeramerica.com\/news\/pokerstars-has-awarded-over-4-5m-in-premium-passes\/\">Platinum Passes<\/a>, which will allow you to participate in the <strong>PokerStars Players No Limit Hold\u2019em Championship (PSPC)<\/strong>. As we have reportedly previously, each pass is worth <strong>$30,000<\/strong>, providing you with the buy-in for the event, at $25,000, and $5,000 to spend yourself. <\/p>\n<p>The event was generous indeed, with 150,000 players getting at least something back. The first-place prizes amounted to <strong>$15 million<\/strong>, which is quite the number whatever way you look at it. WCOOP was a truly thrilling affair with its record-breaking numbers.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Introducing <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PokerStars?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@PokerStars<\/a> VR, \ud83e\udd7d a brand new free-to-play Virtual Reality poker game&#8230;: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/a12pN65Fn6\">https:\/\/t.co\/a12pN65Fn6<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/x6qNmU3M9z\">pic.twitter.com\/x6qNmU3M9z<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; PokerStarsBlog (@PokerStarsBlog) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PokerStarsBlog\/status\/1042767646880673793?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 20, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>As legislation around the world becomes laxer, PokerStars and similar platforms are building their momentum.
