Sounds like a new nice promo at Stars and 5 1$ tickets was a minimum deposit was really nice to try this new kind of game. And the additional challenge was a good Chance to win some extra bucks in a shootout tourney.

This kind of tournaments is an old one. They were having it, too long ago in the microgaming network, where i think it was the network that this kind of tournament originated. Not a bad promotion if there is no requirement for the deposit.

For the tickets that you receive as a part of this promotion their are no additional wagering requirements and no strings attached I figured I would help spread the word about this promo because Pokerstars rarely offers an incentive for depositing money consider the free tickets and any winnings from these tickets free cash to help you with your poker goals moving forward

It is not a bad promotion then. Not that hard to survive ( i think the tournaments in microgaming were called survivor ) for 5 minutes. Wth 5 tickets you must cash at least once. All you need is a bit of luck. Its gonna be like an all in tournament probably Good luck to all the ones participating.

Oh cool it's good that they had this format on other sites before Pokerstars makes it easier for some people to transition into playing this style of poker I also believe it should not be hard to survive for 5 mins in these tourneys. I have tried 5 of them before and I have had positive results I have cashed for $2 $3 and once even for $5 if any player trying this promo has this type of success this could be positive EV for anyone taking part but I do agree these tourneys are luck based as well and people will be all in often to try and accumulate more chips to improve their finishing place for a better payout I wish good luck to any mobsters that decide to give this promo a try

Thank you very much, sammybeyo, for informing us of this fantastic promotion at PokerStars. There seems to be no wagering requirement if I am not mistaken. Very intriguing! Good luck to all mobsters playing!

Yes exactly Tony_MON7ANA their are no wagering requirements for the promo it's like receiving 5 dollars cash straight up for free but instead you receive it as credit for those new Beat the Clock tournaments and if your really lucky you can double your money or even win even more to add to your poker bankroll. If your looking to play poker with little risk this promo is very good to get started.

Probably they have started doing good promotions for the end of the year as expected. If not later this month at the start of December all sites will have some good offers. So get ready for some more play, as the days go by

This is very nice promotions and also is nice that is runing until 4th december so its plenty time to use it plus there is some chance to win some $ in 10k$ daily freerolls but there is to many players over 20k and i think in next few days will be over 30k per tournament....

Yes of course it is great that they have the all in shootouts each day it's a good bonus they have 20 in total 19 more remain still so perhaps the odds are good to win a few extra bucks if your lucky anything helps to grow the bankroll.
Also that is true I think come December and the holiday time maybe they will have the Christmas calendar again or a similar type of promotion and offer up some more great prizes as well to everyone.

Thank you very much your detailed explanation, sammybeyo. I think players can relatively easily generate a decent return with extremely low risk. This is one of the most generous promotional offers from PokerStars.

No problem Tony_MON7ANA glad that you found my explanation helpful and agreed the risk to reward ratio is very small for this promo with a small investment generate a big reward and those challenge all in shootouts are a great bonus as well alot of players can really benefit from the extra money that can be earned from the promo.
Agreed Semirkarla this is one of the finer promotions from Stars that I have seen in a very long time and its great that their are absolutely no strings attached or hidden conditions the money is yours 100% to keep to continue playing or withdrawing your choice. Also the fast paced 5 minute long action is very good as well because it requires a very small investment of your time for a great profit at the end of it. I also want to wish any Mobsters who decided to give the promo a try the best of luck and hopefully everyone can make a nice ROI and this can help alot of people out with their poker ventures moving forward

I really cannot remember a noteworthy promotion from the last couple of years tbh - the brm x-mas calendar every year is the only exception of course.

I read on one site that AmericasCardroom accuses Poker stars that stole their promotion for me not appealing this promotion because it needs to fulfill some conditions, which should have a lot of luck, and I do not have much luck in gambling

All this promotion are not worthy only this from bankroolmob and of course partypoker are the best and you can from nothing took some free money and you can start with small bankrools
it is certainly a very good offer for those players who often make deposits ... but for those who play mostly freerolls This offer is not interested ... PokerStars often make offers to players who often make deposits ... and this suggests that the proposals made only to get the next money
