Play at PokerStars during the Holiday Season

On November 26, PokerStars announced its December Festival, a series of promotions which add an extra value of $27 million for those playing at the site during the promotional period. Indeed, despite the massive promotions it usually runs and despite the generous prizes it usually hands out, there have been few times in the history of
PokerStars when it made more sense to register an account and to start playing there than right now.
The December Festival is a 22 day-long promotional extravaganza, covering a set of tournaments and ring games.
The event will gradually work its way to its culmination during the last three days of the promotion (December 20-22), when the first ever World Championship of Online Poker Challenge Series will take place.
The WCOOP Challenge Series will feature 8 separate events, with various buy-in levels to accommodate as wide a selection of players as possible. The buy-ins start from $109 and go as high as $2.1k for the Main Event, which is obviously the crown jewel of the series. While each and every one of the events boasts a generous guarantee, the Main Event is obviously by far the most generous, offering a $3 million guarantee. Furthermore, all event winners shall pick up a $5.2k ticket for the 2014 edition of the WCOOP’s Main Event.
The promotion is obviously looking to capitalize on the festive season, which is generally regarded as a great time for online poker. People are vacationing and they have a lot of spare time on their hands, which means they’re much more likely to hit the virtual tables. This season, PokerStars will truly make it worth their while. Besides the above covered promotions, there will be $500k Golden SNGs, Double Vision Sundays, Million Dollar Sundays, a Mission Week doling out $500k in prizes, as well as Milestone Hands worth a total of $700k.
Sign up to PokerStars now and take part in their December Festival. The site has really gone nuts with its special prize-pools this year.
