If it wasn’t already abundantly clear, PokerStars is determined to attract New Jersey online poker players to its Spin & Go format.
Why, just a few days after the site’s official March 21 launch, the 3-max hyper turbos and their randomized payouts became the focal point of the site’s first promotion, $100,000 Spin & Go Special Edition – an event that elevated the top jackpot at the $10 buy-in level tenfold.
Shortly thereafter, the operator expanded its offering by introducing a $25 buy-in level – to date the highest in New Jersey.
And now, PokerStars NJ has rolled out its $100,000 Spin & Go Challenge, a lucrative promotional event that incentives players to frequent the casino/hybrid via a bevy of freebies.
Breaking down the $100k Freeroll Challenge
Unlike $100,000 Spin & Go Special Edition, which is of questionable value to the average New Jersey player, $100,000 Spin & Go Challenge Freeroll offers ample opportunity for players to pad their bankrolls.
From now until April 23, players who accumulate $20 worth of Spin & Go buy-ins, regardless of the outcome, will receive one ticket to the $100k freeroll, to be held at 6 p.m. local time on April 24.
The challenge can be repeated two more times for a total of three tickets. At first, this caveat of the promotion strikes as a bit odd, but makes more sense after scanning the fine print, which reads that the freeroll allows for up to three entries.
Worth noting is that in order for players to have their progress tracked, they must first navigate to the “Challenges” tab – accessible from both the desktop and mobile clients – and “Start” the $100k Freeroll Challenge. Those who participated in Spin & Go’s before taking this step are advised to contact support to ensure that their account is properly credited.

As far as the value of each ticket, if we presume 2,000 total entries – a generous estimate – each ticket will have a value of $50. That’s a tremendous return on a $60 investment.
Welcome bonuses to include $100k tickets
New players can bypass the first challenge simply by signing up for one of the site’s two welcome bonus packages.
Both the 100% match up to $600, and the free $50 packages (elaborated upon here) now also award a single $100k freeroll ticket.
Returning players won’t be left out in the cold either, as anyone who makes a qualifying deposit of $30 using the promotional code SPIN10 is eligible for a free $10 Spin & Go ticket, which can be used toward completing the challenge.
A second $100k freeroll?
The news section of the PokerStars NJ client reveals that there will be more than one $100k freeroll.
As per the release text:
“We’re making waves with our $100k Special Edition Spin & Go tournaments. And as an added celebration of our New Jersey launch, PokerStars is giving away a further $200,000 across two special $100k Freerolls.”
No hard dates have been revealed for the second challenge period or the second $100k freeroll. Best guess is that the latter segment of the promotion will run sometime in May.

Tetris® combines with Spin & Go tournaments at PokerStars in a fun promotion that sees $1.5 million paid out between February 15 and March 28.
Head to the Spin & Go lobby in the PokerStars client and you’ll see there are Tetris® Spin & Go games with buy-ins of $0.25, $1, $2, $5, $10, $25, $50, $100, $250, and $500. They all play out the exact same way as a traditional Spin & Go, meaning they’re three-handed hyper-turbo tournaments where the prize pool is randomly determined before the first hand is dealt.
It’s still possible to win up to $1 million in some of these game, but there are a few notable differences.
First, the virtual felt is made up of Tetris® blocks, which actually looks pretty cool. Also, the dealer button is now a Tetris® block too, and other blocks fall down the screen.
The Tetris® part of the promotion comes in the form of leaderboards. There’s a separate leaderboard for each Tetris® Spin & Go buy-in level, so 10 in total. You need to opt-in and then fire up some Tetris® Spin & Go tournaments.
Play your tournaments as you would ordinarily, but do so knowing the aim of the game is to clear lines, just like in Tetris®. The number of lines you clear depends on your Spin & Go multiplier and your finishing position in the tournament.
Your level increases each time you clear five lines. This results in you earning even more points so you can climb up your leaderboard faster.
How Many Lines Do I Clear?
| 1st | 2nd | 3rd | |
| 2x | 4 | 3 | 2 |
| 3x | 3 | 2 | 1 |
| Over 3x | 2 | 1 | 1 |
As you can see from the table above, finishing in 1st place in a Tetris® Spin & Go that has a 2x multiplier clears four lines. Just playing a tournament earns you points.
How Do You Earn Points?
The number of leaderboard points you earn is based on your finishing position and your current level. You start off earning 40 points for clearing one line when you’re at Level 0, but this increases to 840 points if you manage to climb to Level 20, which is the highest level you can achieve.
It is possible to earn up to 25,200 points per Tetris® Spin & Go tournament, as you can see in this table.
| Level | Points for 1 Line | Points for 2 Lines | Points for 3 Lines | Points four 4 Lines |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 40 | 100 | 300 | 1,200 |
| 1 | 80 | 200 | 600 | 2,400 |
| 2 | 120 | 300 | 900 | 3,600 |
| 3 | 160 | 400 | 1,200 | 4,800 |
| n | =40*(n+1) | =100*(n+1) | =300*(n+1) | =1,200*(n+1) |
| 20 | 840 | 2,100 | 6,300 | 25,200 |

The Tetris® Playing Field – Avoid Hitting Game Over
There’s an extra element to this promotion that you have to be aware of at all times. PokerStars calls it the Playing Field.
Just like in a game of Tetris® where it is Game Over when the blocks reach the top of the screen, it can be game over for you if you go on a streak of out of the money finishes!
Finishing in first place either improves your Playing Field status or makes zero change to it. Finish in second place, however, and your Playing Field status either stays the same or actually worsens, which is also the case when you finish in third place.
Your table, or playing field, is green in color when your Playing Field is in a good state. It turns amber when it is worsening and turns red when you’re in big trouble. Failing to win when your playing field is red could see you reach Game Over which means you cannot earn any more leaderboard points until the next day!
The changes to your playing field status depend on your current level.
| 1st place | 2nd place | 3rd place | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level | Improve | No Change | No Chance | Worsen | No Change | Worsen |
| 0-1 | 100% | 0% | 100% | 0% | 100% | 0% |
| 2-5 | 80% | 20% | 80% | 20% | 50% | 50% |
| 6-9 | 60% | 40% | 60% | 40% | 40% | 60% |
| 10-13 | 40% | 60% | 40% | 60% | 30% | 70% |
| 14-17 | 20% | 80% | 20% | 80% | 200% | 80% |
| 18-20 | 20% | 80% | 20% | 80% | 10% | 90% |
