Home / PokerStars doubles prizepools in new Pit Stop Cash Drop and Chequered Flag Freeroll offering in support of Oracle Red Bull Racing

The hotly anticipated French Grand Prix is upon us and to celebrate, Official Team Partner of Oracle Red Bull Racing, PokerStars is launching not one but two new rewards that give players more– if Oracle Red Bull Racing win!

The Embrace the Race Chequered Flag Freeroll is a new post-race weekend tournament that will take place every Monday from July 25. Any players who have played in the PokerStars Sunday Million the previous day or tried to qualify for the Sunday Million the previous week will win entry to the freeroll.

The tournament features a guarantee of $25,000 in Sunday Million tickets or qualifying tickets. To add extra excitement, if an Oracle Red Bull Racing driver wins in Sunday’s race, PokerStars will double the freeroll prize pool to $50,000!

Next up is the new Pitstop Cash Drop – also launching at the French GP.

One randomly chosen PokerStars.com player across Poker, Sports and Casino (where available) who opts in will receive an instant bonus of $10,000, which will be boosted to $20,000*, if the Oracle Red Bull Racing team win.

Sound too simple?

Well, it wouldn’t be an F1 reward without a need for speed: for the lucky player to receive the bonus they will have just 15 minutes to claim their prize, and if not claimed, the money rolls over into the next Grand Prix.

Pitstop Cash Drops will take place every Tuesday following a race, with the first drop penned for July 26.

And not to forget, PokerStars Casino is celebrating every F1 race with its new leaderboard format for Casino Races, which see the leaderboard prizepool double during each race weekend.

Every weekend, Casino Races has a $50,000 prizepool, but on race weekends, the prizepool will double to $100,000. To get involved, players can register for free via the Casino Races lobby or Casino Races widget, and simply play their favourite slots. Every winning spin will award points and help players climb the leaderboard.
