partypoker MILLIONS Online

The richest single online poker tournament is now less than one week away. All the pros are getting ready for one of the hottest online events of 2019

Are you ready to fight and take home a share of the $20 million guarantee?

The first of four Day 1s of the partypoker MILLIONS Online shuffles up and deal at 9:30 p.m. CET on December 1, 2019, and the excitement surrounding this massive event is reaching fever pitch.

Last year's MILLIONS Online smashed its $20 million guarantee and saw the final four players become millionaires overnight.

If that isn't enough to have you clambering for your mouse and firing up partypoker, we have five more reasons you have to do everything in your power to play in the partypoker MILLIONS Online.

There's $20 Million Guaranteed for a Start

partypoker has slapped a massive $20 million guarantee on the prize pool and that is nothing short of incredible.

This huge sum means the partypoker MILLIONS is the richest single online poker tournament, surpassing any other event ever run.

It's certainly not every day that you get to play for a share of an eight-figure prize pool where the final four finishers become millionaires.

Sure, the chances of taking down the MILLIONS Online are slim (as are your chances in any other tournament) but someone has to win it so that someone may as well be you.

Last year's event featured a $5,200 buy-in but this year's costs $10,300 to enter (although you don't need to pay it).

This means the field size should be much smaller and therefore there are less landmines to avoid on your way to victory.

What would you do with a first-place prize that's in the region of $2.5 million?

Oh, and don't forget that if you finish Day 1A as the tournament's chip leader then go on to win MILLIONS Online, partypoker will credit your account with an additional $1 million cash. What's not to like?

You'll Receive at Least $75 Cashback

partypoker has a simple loyalty program that awards between 20-40% cashback every week.

Earn at least 25 loyalty points during a calendar week and partypoker deposits your cashback into your account on Monday.

Loyalty points are earned at a rate of 1 point per $1 spent on cash game rake or tournament fees.

As the MILLIONS Online costs $10,300 ($10,000+$300) to enter, you'll be awarded 300 loyalty points, which are enough to hit the 25% cashback tier even if you have not played any other poker during the week.

This translates to $75 cashback, so MILLIONS Online is essentially a $10,225 buy-in event.

It's Probably The Softest $10,300 Buy-in MTT You'll Ever Play

Several thousand poker players make the pilgrimage to Las Vegas every summer to play in the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event despite it costing $10,000.

A large percentage of the WSOP Main Event field have never played in a $10,000 buy-in event before and it is considered to be one of the softest poker tournaments on the live circuit.

MILLIONS Online could probably boast of being the online equivalent because its field is going to have so many online qualifiers in it that they could outnumber the professionals.

partypoker has been running MILLIONS Online satellites for a few months now and hundreds of seats have been won.

Some players have even won their seats from freerolls and you do not tend to find the best of the best spending their time grinding freerolls and nano-stakes satellites.

Now that partypoker has launched its MILLIONS Online Mega Sats that have $7 million worth of seats guaranteed, the field is likely to become even less shark-infested.

Rub Shoulders With Some of Poker's Elite Players

While MILLIONS Online is likely to have more than its fair share of recreational players for you to win chips from, a tournament of this magnitude is going to attract the best players in the business.

Unless you're prepared to jet off around the world and play in some huge live events, it is unlikely you'll ever get to play poker against the likes of Philipp Gruissem, Isaac Haxton, Dzmitry Urbanovich and Sam Trickett, all of whom are registered to play on Day 1A.

Locking horns with legitimate poker superstars is a superb experience.

You may not only learn a thing or two about tournament poker, you could even have a great story to tell about eliminating a Team partypoker Pro on your way to securing a life-changing prize.

You Could Become Part of Poker History

Last year's MILLIONS Online wrote itself into poker's history books when it claimed the title of the world's richest-ever single online poker tournament.

Some 4,367 entries created a gargantuan $21,385,000 prize pool.

Everyone at the final table won at least $327,525 with the champion, Manuel Ruivo, walking away with $2,329,944 after a heads-up deal with Pim de Goede who scooped $2,309,995.

This year's MILLIONS Online could be even bigger in terms of the prize money awarded. If 2,500 entries are processed, a staggering $25 million will be paid out, imagine that.

Regardless of how many people buy in, at least $20 million is set to be awarded. Will you be one of those poker players vying for MILLIONS Online glory?
