PokerStars Launches Football-Themed “SpinGoal” Promotion With $100K+ In Play

The summer of 2026 is heating up, and while football fans are rooting their national team on to victory, online poker players have their own reason to celebrate. PokerStars has launched SpinGoal, a football-themed promotion running from June 11 until July 9, 2026, bringing the thrill of the pitch to the virtual felt.

And there are massive prize pools waiting to be won! Here is everything you need to know to find the back of the net and potentially boost your bankroll.

How Does SpinGoal Work?

SpinGoal transforms the fast-paced action of three-handed Spin & Go tournaments into a classic football sticker album experience. Players have the chance to claim their share of over $100,000 in total prizes by completing the ultimate football puzzle.

Play standard or Omaha Spin & Go tournaments (buy-ins range from $0.50 up to $1,000) and collect your pieces. When each tournament begins, a squad number will appear beneath the Spin & Go prize spinner. If it matches a missing player on your puzzle, that piece is collected.

How to Opt In

To get involved, players must:

• Opt-In: Head to the Challenges Window in your PokerStars client and opt-in.
• Hit the Felt: Play standard or Omaha Spin & Go tournaments, with buy-ins ranging from $0.50 up to $1,000.
• Collect Your Squad: Win or lose, playing tournaments awards “sticker pieces” to build a squad of 26 players and one coach.
• Score Cash: As your roster fills up, you will hit milestones that unlock instant cash rewards.

Potential Rewards

There are five separate cash rewards, with a total of up to 7x your average buy-in up available to be won:
