PokerStars is hosting the next $5,000 Freeroll tournament of the $67,500 freeroll series tomorrow, the 21st, and you are more than welcome to join. To play this high-value freeroll you need to sign up at PokerStars through PokerWorks and make your first deposit to receive a ticket to the $5K freeroll taking place this Wednesday. There are still six tournaments to go that will reward a total of $30K in free cash, plus another $7,500 given away to the top 15 players with the most leaderboard points.
However, if you're already a PokerStars player and a PokerWorks’ referred player, you need at least 20 VIP Player Points (VPP) in your account generated during the freeroll qualification period which was March 12th through 18th in order to play. If you have met the point requirement, then you should receive your tournament ticket shortly and be able to compete for the $5,000 prize pool this Wednesday, March 21st at 14:00 EDT (19:00 GMT).
However, if you haven't collected the required amount of points during the qualification period – don't worry, start playing PokerStars cash games and tournaments now – earn 20 points before March 25th and you will receive a ticket to the next $5,000 freeroll running on March 28th.
