PokerStars Galactic Series: In space no one can hear your bad beat. Galactic battle for Gold and Silver Passes
During the Galactic Series, you can complete missions for the chance to win a share of more than €125,000 in added value – including Gold and Silver Passes.
In order to compete for these prizes, you must opt-in to the battle by choosing a team and then earning leaderboard points by completing side missions. French players can choose between Benny, Yu, or JBZZ while Spanish players will throw in for either Willo, Alex Romero, or Estiwinho. In Portugal, players can pick from Team A with Ricardo Sousa, Joao Tomas, and Vasco Freitas or Team B with Tiago Ferreira, Ruben Lopes, and Hugo Machado.
Each team will have a weekly freeroll on the schedule, but only the team with the most points will be able to partake. For team members on the winning side, the more side missions you complete, the larger your starting stack in the freeroll. These freerolls will award one Silver Pass to the winner each week and the final freeroll will award a Gold Pass.
The Silver Pass Freerolls will run on the following dates:
- November 10 at 20:00 CET
- November 17 at 20:00 CET
- November 24 at 20:00 CET
The Gold Pass Freeroll will run on November 26 at 20:00 CET.
“The Galactic Series has always been a fan favorite,” said Sandro Forleo, Head of Poker Operations for Southern Europe and Italy at PokerStars. “We’re confident that this year’s edition will deliver again! We’ve got a stellar schedule packed with excitement, value and opportunities for every type of player to get involved and have some fun.”
