Just over eight years after the first card was dealt, PokerStars is gearing up to deal our 40 billionth hand! Every PokerStars player had a part to play in reaching this landmark, so everyone is invited to join our F40 celebrations! Here’s how you can join the fun:
Win big by celebrating 40 billion hands dealt!
It’s milestone time again at PokerStars this February, and this one is huge – 40 billion hands dealt! This means you can expect tons of exciting cash game prizes and great value tournaments – including the biggest ever Sunday Million – plus loads more.
PokerStars could never have reached this incredible landmark without our players, so F40 is our way of thanking the millions of you who helped us get there. There are millions of dollars to play for, including multi-table tournaments with huge guarantees, milestone hand rewards in cash games leading up to the 40 billion Mega Milestone, Super Sit & Go’s, First Depositor Freerolls and a special VIP Club instant cash credit. This is F40, and it doesn’t get much bigger than this.

Cash Games
F40: Milestone Hands
There will be cash prizes across all our cash game tables in the days leading up to the 40 billion Mega Milestone hand. Players dealt into every millionth hand will win a cash prize of $40 for every VPP they earned in the previous 40 hands played on that table. Because PokerStars wants everyone to be a winner, an extra VPP will be awarded to all players dealt in – this means you’ll win a minimum of at least $40. The winner of the hand will also get their cash prize doubled!
When the big 40 billion Mega Milestone is reached, all players dealt in will be rewarded $400 for every VPP earned in the previous 40 hands (calculated same as above, including the bonus VPP for all players dealt in). The winner of the Mega Milestone will also have their prize money doubled – which could mean a grand total of tens of thousands of dollars!
PokerStars is the home of tournament poker, so it’s only right then that F40 should include an incredible schedule of big-money events. Here’s what’s in store:
F40: Sunday Million $4,000,000 guaranteed!
In a joint celebration with the 4th anniversary of the Sunday Million, we’ll be boosting the prize pool to an incredible $4,000,000 on February 21 – that’s the biggest ever prize pool and includes at least $1,000,000 for first place!
