Good Morning Mobsters
I have just found out that starting today the qualifying period for the 1 million dollar freeroll will start on Pokerstars each day starting from November 22 2016 until November 30th 2016 their will be an all in shootout and 8192 seats awarded to the million dollar freeroll in each one. If your attempts to qualify via the all in shootouts are unsuccessful their will be a last chance qualifier held on December 1st 2016 at 10:04am to try to lock up your seat. Be sure to check your daily challenges starting from today to be able to take parts in these all in shootouts and the last chance qualifier as well.
The 1 Million dollar freeroll is scheduled to take place December 1st 2016 at 2:04pm on Pokerstars. Good luck to those that choose to take part in this promotion it is a completely free promo to take part in no deposit required it is a great promotion for everyone involved to try and win some money. Also the 1 million dollar freeroll pays 75,000 places out of 120,000 maximum entrants so your odds will be very good to cash and win at least the minimum prize of $5 or more.
Once again good luck Mobsters and have a great day

I played in one of the freerolls like you write ... ... won five dollars and got registered in the last qualifying freeroll ... there were very simple conditions to get a ticket ... so if you do not play on PokerStars, I constantly I advise not to rush to give the ticket ... you get your place, even if you do not play very well

yes it's a good promotion no risk to play also I recommend for the challenge condition everyone choose the real money tournament because to complete that condition you can play a freeroll and your condition should be met I would recommend taking part in as many of these shootouts to increase your odds of making it to the 1 million dollar freeroll just remember to opt in to the challenge everyday to get started
------------ My bad mobsters I have just tried to complete the daily challenge with a freeroll tournament and it didn't count it I was not aware that it had to be a buy in tournament seems like pokerstars smartened up but you can still complete the daily challenge with tourneys as low as 11 cents which is still good value it is still a very good promotion to be involved in

I just have a definite hate towards these all-in shootouts on PS to be honest - if a tournament requires nothing from you to achieve (not even 2 simply be there and play) then I am not really keen on participating tbh... Especially when this promo will be over, PS have plenty more rake out from it than a million they leave for the prizepool so yet again, they are the real winners here.

makes sense Bowie1984 I am also questioning whether I will participate as well because given the new conditions I would have to make a small 10 buck deposit and spend on average 11 cents a day to play I might still do it but I am unhappy pokerstars changed the policy and decided to stop counting freerolls as real money tourneys on this one seems like they want to make alittle money off people so i understand your point
Thanks. I am always saying Amaya is the biggest indian giver of the whole poker world. On one hand since they messed up their whole freeroll structure from way back now they are having plenty more micro-buyin related challanges so it seems not too bad but on the other hand these challeneges generate nice traffic and plenty rake for them and some minor opportunities to actually earn some bucks for us. In the end its only +EV for them.

Thx for this informations. I don't like all in shootouts, but this special freeroll was a good chance to win some bucks without a risk. Not every players have the time to play a lot off freerolls and there a lot of maniacs.

No problem
That is so true that they make the general freerolls so hard to win and they pay out usually very small prizes and it seems they are mainly targeting the casual part time recreational players with these new promos. They definitely generate the rake because of the spin and gos those give false hope of winning the jackpot prize as well. In the end like in vegas the house always wins on these types of promos once in a while we all catch a break but again your right in the end pokerstars has +EV over the poker community
Like most of the other guys here I am not a huge fan of shootouts either, but hey a promotion is better than no promotion at all. Some lucky people will win big money out of this which is always nice. However I have tried my luck in so many of them and it's ridiculous how much luck you need to win one, beating a full table every hand all-in pre flop.

This sounds like a massive opportunity to win some nice money, if you get very lucky, for no outlay, which is always a very good thing. A million dollar freeroll is very rare indeed so i wish all Mobbits good luck

The challenges are pretty easy each day you need to opt in and choose either to play 1 real money cash game or zoom hand or play any real money multitable tournament. If your looking for value each day I recommend buying into the fixed limit table for 20 cents playing 1 hand of cash game and sitting out after and the mission is complete and if your preferred route is tournaments then you can spend as little as 11 cents a day to finish the mission the objectives either play 1 real money tourney or cash game hand will remain the same for the entire qualifying period. Good luck with the million dollar freeroll mobsters

StheP thanks for the heads up I didn't know it can be completed with even a 2 cent sit and go it's good you don't have to spend so much money to get involved
Dule-vu unfortunately you need to have at least some cents in your account to do the missions each day as we just learned this mission can be completed from as little as 2 cents a day which is good news for us mobsters.
I have in the account at PokerStars 2 cents ... and tomorrow will be the tournament where you have to pay 1 cent per participating ... I'll do - to play in this tournament, and at the same time get a freeroll ticket ... the main thing that then in the freeroll win))

Thank you very much again, sammybeyo, for reminding us about such a fascinating promotional offer from PokerStars. A minimum of $5 prize guaranteed for top 75,000 finishers out of 120,000 participants. That sounds pretty good. Best of luck to all participating.

Yeah thanks for the heads up buddy! Last time there was a 1 million freeroll promotion like this one I only noticed it 2 days before it ended so I wasn't able to get an entry to the freeroll. Only got some qualifiers tickets and couldn't qualify.
Now starting at day 1 I hope I will be able to get my ticket... if not that would be pretty unlucky considering the odds.

Telling the truth, last time it was plaid, I forgot to login into PokerStars on time and won 5 $ being on sitout until elimination, so I can confirm that it is really easy to win something in it.
