PokerStars is holding freerolls tourneys for anyone who reloads their account in June, with $300,000 in prize money to be given away.

There isn’t much time left, but those who reload their account with money using the promotion code ‘RF300’ can enter into daily freerolls running until 27 June. Placing within the top 400 of one of these tournaments earns entry into one of the 5 finals games at the end of the month, with even bigger money to be won.

The daily freeroll tournaments are running at 10:30ET, 13:30ET, 16:30ET, 19:30ET, and 22:30ET each day. With a $2,000 prize pool and a maximum number of 20,000 players, cash prizes and tickets to the finals are offered all the way down to 400th place. The top prize for each daily freeroll is $150 and a finals entry, with second place awarded $120 and third place awarded $100. Even the player at 400th place will receive a small amount of prize money – $1 in addition to the finals ticket.

On 28 June, the finals will be played with a $20,000 prize pool in each tournament. Again, the top 400 players will receive prize money. The amount to be won at each paying position is similar to the daily freerolls, except increased by a factor of 10. This means the first place prize is $1500, with the second place prize at $1200, third place at $1000, and the lowest amount of prize money being $10 for places 271 to 400.

For those worried that they will not be able to place in one of the daily freerolls if they only have a single chance, there is good news. The entry to the daily freerolls is reusable, up until 23:59ET on 26 June. Players who are extremely confident of winning a place can also benefit from playing multiple daily freerolls, as up to 5 finals tickets can be won to use, one for each finals tourney. Excess tickets are valueless, however, so don’t play in more reload freerolls tourneys than you need to!

Those who would like to enter into the $300,000 Reload Freerolls need to simply reload their account at PokerStars and enter the ‘RF300’ promotion code. After that, it is a case of entering one of the daily tournaments and working towards placing at least in the top 400 to earn a position in the $20,000 finals. Those who are new to poker at PokerStars can benefit from other promotions such as the 100% first deposit bonus of up to $50 using the promo code ‘Stars50’. New players could also simply reload again after playing through some of their first deposit, but it would need to be done quickly, as the $300,000 Reload Freerolls at PokerStars will not be running for much longer.
