Power your way up the Power Path to our biggest live and online events

Want to play on the European Poker Tour (EPT) and in PokerStars top online tournaments? Here’s your chance to showcase what you’re made of. Thanks to the Power Path, you can play for a spot on the biggest live and online stages.

If you’re at Blue or Bronze Chest level, play on PokerStars and rake at least $0.01, you’ll get a free Power Path Step 1 ticket. Just head to your Challenges Window and opt-in just once to get started. After that, you can get your hands on a free ticket every day. Otherwise, Power Path buy-ins start from as little as $0.50*.

Start your Power Path journey at Step 1 and progress through up to four Steps to bank either a Bronze, Silver or Gold Power Pass:

• Bronze Power Pass: Gives players an entry into one of our $109 buy-in online events, including the famous Sunday Million.
• Silver Power Pass: Players get $2,500 worth of buy-ins to use for either regional live events or our biggest online tournaments.
• Gold Power Pass: A package worth $10,300 that players can choose to use for an EPT event or in one of our biggest online tournaments.

You can also accelerate your pathway and buy-in directly to Power Path Step 2 or 3.

Start your Power Path and see how far your competitive edge can take you.

*The $0.50 Power Path Spin & Go has a rake of 8% ($0.04)
