PokerStars on FanDuel Players Can Compete for Nightly Stars Leaderboard Prizes

Tournament players in the US competing at PokerStars Exclusively on FanDuel have a little more incentive to show up regularly for the Nightly Stars events.

A new weekly leaderboard will award $2,500 per week in tournament tickets to the week’s top performers in Nightly Stars events.

Win Nightly Stars Tickets

The leaderboard will see the top performer of the week earning $500 worth of tournament tickets. The leaderboard prizes go all the way down to the 74th top performer, who will earn a $10 2nd Chance All In Shootout ticket.

Leaderboard Prizes

Players can earn leaderboard points by cashing in any Nightly Stars tournament, with every dollar earned being worth one leaderboard point. The Nightly Stars tournament runs every Monday-Saturday at 6:40 p.m. local time.

All awarded tickets must be used within two weeks and will expire 14 days after being issued, with the exception of Nightly Stars tickets, which expire after 21 days.

The first leaderboard will run this week Aug 24-29, and the results will then reset for the week of Aug. 31-Sept. 5.

PokerStars North America partnered with sports betting giant FanDuel earlier this year to launch the multi-state PokerStars on FanDuel. The partnership has received positive reports so far, and the new leaderboard is the latest positive development for the site.

The leaderboard is exclusively for the US market, which includes Michigan, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. PokerStars Exclusively on FanDuel also operates in Ontario.
