Every player can become a member of this league! Get to know the rules:

How to become a member of the PokerStars Open Poker League?

As the name suggests, this poker league is open - every player can enter it and there is no need to qualify. However, two conditions must be met:

• Register at PokerStars– If you already have an account, you do not need to register again. If you have not yet played in the largest online room, register on the PokerStars website, the link to which is on this page;
• Register forPokerStarter– create an account at the poker school by entering your login in the poker room (the player's nickname that is displayed at the tables while playing at PokerStars) to link your profile.

After completing two simple conditions, you will become a member of the league. The open poker league PokerStars holds its own freerolls, playing in which you can move up in the rating table. Of course, you need to play successfully!

How to Succeed in PokerStars Open League?

In the rating of participants, the PokerStars Open Poker League takes into account only the results of special freerolls, which are called PokerschoolopenLeague with prize pools of $10. They take place every four hours - registration is free, tickets and passwords are not required. You can find them on the Freerolls and Private Tournaments tabs in the poker client lobby.

By playing in these freerolls, you can earn rating points. The number of points that a player receives for participating in a freeroll PokerschoolopenLeague, depends on several parameters:

• Occupied space– the higher you move in the tournament result table, the more points you get. If there are many participants in the tournament, it is not necessary to hit the prizes in order to earn points.
• Number of participants - the more players who register in the tournament, the more points are awarded to the players who take the scoring places. For example, playing in a tournament with 7000 opponents, you will get more points for the 100th place than for a similar place in a freeroll with 2000 participants.
• Top places - There are only 100 prize places in each freeroll, and if you win one of them, you will get extra points.
• final place– final table participants get even more extra points.

If you are eliminated in the early stages of the tournament, the player loses the points earned earlier! Therefore, his position in the leaderboard may worsen due to a loss, and not due to the fact that one of the other players will overtake him in points.

The correct strategy for playing the Poker School Open League freerolls, which are held by the Poker Stars Open Poker League, is careful play in the early stages of the event. It is important to get into the zone of the results table in which the players receive points. Since there are a lot of loose players in the freerolls, it's not that hard to get good results!

What do successful open poker league players get?

For successful players, the PokerStars Open Poker League has prepared pleasant cash gifts based on the results of the game for the month. At the end of each month, players ranked from 1 to 2000 in the rating table receive cash prizes from $0.50 to $1500. In total, prizes go to 4000 players, as the league maintains two ratings:

• First, the achievements of all players who earned less than 20 VPP in any games in the previous month are taken into account. The first place prize is $150;
• The second one takes into account the achievements of poker players who earned from 20 to 150 VPP in any games in the previous month. The prize for the first place is $1500.

In addition to cash prizes, players can get tickets to the Premier League, which hosts similar rating competitions, but the cash prizes are much larger, and the number of participants is smaller. Only the top 500 players in the open league can advance to the Premier League.

Open poker league PokerStars - an opportunity to win cash prizes. This is an exciting rivalry that does not require any additional investment from the player, since the league's freerolls are held for free. If you do not manage to take high places in them and earn points for the rating table, do not be discouraged, you will have the opportunity to do this next month. In any case, you will get an invaluable gaming experience that will come in handy in the future!
