Kickstart your weekend with the Friday Jackpot, a UK-only tournament with $10K guaranteed and £3,200 added in Casino instant bonuses!

Do you ever get that Friday feeling?

It’s the best, isn’t it? 

You’ve finished work for the week, you don’t have to be up at a ridiculous hour the next day, and you have two days to do whatever you like.

And it all starts with your Friday night.

Fancy a game of poker to get things going?

To help kickstart your weekend, PokerStars has created the Friday Jackpot – a special UK-only poker tournament with an added twist: there are Casino instant bonuses thrown in, too.

Here’s how it works.

WHAT IS THE FRIDAY JACKPOT?

The Friday Jackpot is a monthly multi-table tournament (MTT) exclusive to UK players, which takes place on the first Friday of each month.

The first Friday Jackpot MTT takes place on Friday, April 7 at 8 pm UK time.

It’s an $11 buy-in no limit hold’em tournament with $10,000 guaranteed in the prize pool… but that’s not all.

During the tournament, players will also win a share of £3,200 in Casino Instant Bonuses!

Casino prizes worth £10 a pop are distributed randomly to players throughout the tournament, so all you have to do to be in with a shot of winning extra is play the Friday Jackpot tournament.

And here’s where things get really interesting.

If the $10,000 guarantee is met, PokerStars will increase the prize pool by $5,000 the following month.

The guarantee will continue to increase by $5,000 every month until the tournament overlays (that’s when not enough players register for the tournament to match the guarantee, so essentially, there’s free money up for grabs for players).

Just how big will the Friday Jackpot prize pool get before it overlays? 

We’ll find out as the year goes on!
