It’s been easy breezy, and value play running on PokerStars India these past few months. Hot on the heels of a super-successful Diwali Rush Series, the brand had launched its first-ever Boosted Guarantee promotion that was extended for a week on popular demand! In the meantime, India-facing arm of global poker giant PokerStars was gearing up to launch one of the brand’s globally popular tournament offerings for Indian players. Debuting on the site on November 29 is the “Tailor-made for India” edition of the firecracker MTT offering, the Bounty Builders Series!

The Bounty Builder Series famously hosts events of a progressive knockout format. Though the series has traditionally featured an exhaustive list of tourneys in the editions hosted on the dot.com site, the Indian debut is crisper. It will make a seven-day run till December 5, dishing out a combined ₹2.7 Crores in prize pool guarantees including satellites across 42 events.

True to the series’ signature theme, the players sit with a bounty prize on their heads. You eliminate an opponent to claim their bounty. Half of the collected bounties are instantly credited to your account as cash. The remaining 50% of the collected bounties are added to your bounty prize, making you an attractive proposition to target and knock out! Tournament prizes apart, the PKO format of the series makes it possible for you to win far more than your buy-in back, even if you don’t reach the money spots in the events you play.

The biggest tournament draw at the online series is the ₹11,000 buy-in Bounty Builder Series Main Event that will make a two-day run from December 4 to 5 and award a guaranteed ₹1 Crore in prizes. You can book your seat to the Main Event by opting in for the Bounty Builder Series Main Event Ticket Challenge (November 23 – December 5), where you play to collect 45,000 redemption points, winning a FREE seat into the series’ biggest draw.

Topping the tournament offerings in the Bounty Builder Series, the brand is giving away ₹20 Lakhs in guaranteed prizes through Special Offers.

The most consistent players will be rewarded through the ₹3.5 Lakhs GTD Bounty Builder Series Leaderboard.

Bounty Builder Series comes packed with opportunities to win big for less. Commemorating the debut launch, an Inaugural Freeroll will take place on November 29 at 3.45 PM, awarding tickets worth ₹50,000 to the series.

There are 40 seats up for grabs to the Main Event and the Highroller Championship. This includes 25 seats being given in the Main Event Freebuy (December 4, 1 PM) and 15 via the Highroller Championship Freebuy (December 1, 5 PM).

Even better, Second Chance Freerolls give any player knocked out of an event in the series before the bubble another chance to enter and dive right back into the competition!
