Summer is knocking on the door and so is the thrilling Summer Festival hosted by PokerStars USA. Spanning over two months, from June 1 to July 31, this festival is a veritable carnival of poker, offering a myriad of engaging promotions and interactive activities.
Diving into the PokerStars Summer Festival
A pivotal part of this festival is the exciting ‘Summer Stacks’ event. The Summer Festival brings a host of thrilling offers to players like exclusive giveaways, Spin & Go Jackpots, Card Hunter, Freerolls, and Half Price Sundays. Yet, the star of the show remains the Summer Stacks.
Unraveling the Summer Stacks
The Summer Stacks is all set to open the PokerStars Summer Festival on June 9. Up until June 26, you can participate in 100 events, each with an entry fee of $100 or less. Both PA and MI-NJ players can share a whopping guaranteed prize of $2.75M, with $1.25M for PA and $1.5M for MI-NJ. This series is a golden opportunity for low and mid-stakes players.
Two-day Main Events, kicking off on June 25th, will carry a $100K guarantee in PA and a slightly increased $125K guarantee in MI-NJ. In some select events, including the Main, players can even score exclusive merchandise, a perfect ‘trophy’ for their efforts. For the low-stakes players, a shot at these prizes comes at a much lower cost via traditional satellites or $1 Spin & Go’s.
Highlights of the Summer Stacks Series
With 100 events to choose from, there’s no shortage of variety in this series. The schedule includes more than just Hold’em games. Lovers of PLO, PLO8, HORSE, 8-Game, Badugi, and Razz can also look forward to this series.
Moreover, there’s always a guarantee of at least one event each weekday during the series, carrying a minimum of a $15,000 guarantee for PA and a $20,000 guarantee for MI-NJ. On every Sunday during the series, a $100 NLHE special is on offer.

While poker players are at the heart of the Summer Festival, the event is also open to casino enthusiasts. The Bonus Bonanza, offering 100,000 free spins per state (10K in NJ), takes center stage from June 13-19.
To join the fun, players simply need to opt-in and wager at least $10 on spins during the week. The number of free spins awarded depends on how many players complete the challenge. So, if only 10,000 players opt in and complete the challenge, each player in MI and PA who completes the challenge will win 10 free spins.
