International Women's Day is just around the corner on Monday, March 8, 2021.
PokerStars will once again help celebrate this day that celebrates the achievements of women while also promoting equality in a very special way.
Every Sunday at 7:40 p.m. GMT (2:40 p.m. EST), PokerStars hosts the popular $55 Women's Sunday. PokerStars decided to make this event even more special as they have lowered the buy-in to just $22 for the next few weeks to help celebrate International Women's Day.
Not only that, players can qualify for the Women's Sunday via direct satellites for just $0.22!
This Sunday, March 7 will be even more special as PokerStars will be adding three seats to the $215 Sunday Million Anniversary event taking place the following week on March 15.
The event provides plenty of play with the ladies playing with a starting stack of 5,000 in chips and blinds increasing every 10 minutes. Players can opt to re-enter once during the 90-minute late registration window.
To add to the fun, PokerStars streamer GJ Reggie will be streaming the event on her Twitch channel.
The Sunday Million Anniversary event will be one of the biggest online events of the year. Despite the low $215 buy-in, players will be battling it out for at least a $12.5 million guarantee with three ladies getting a free shot to help commemorate International Women's Day.
“We had lovely feedback from the community last year when we celebrated International Women’s Day. We had numerous activities, including making the Women’s Sunday event juicier, lowering the buy-in and giving more to play for, as well as shining a spotlight on our female community with special competitions and Platinum Pass giveaways,” said Rebecca McAdam Willetts, Associate Director of Consumer Engagement and Public Relations at PokerStars said on the PokerStars blog.
“Taking on board feedback about what our female players are looking for, we’ve added Sunday Million tickets to this event, and are looking closely at these tournaments to make sure they’re as engaging as can be going forward. We’ve been working behind the scenes, and while we will celebrate on International Women’s Day, there is so much more to come in our plans to make the game as great as it can possibly be for every player, every day.”

PokerStars Grand Tour is an exclusive game that gives you the chance to unleash your inner sprinter and fight your way to the finish line against thousands of other players.
Cross the finish line to win your bounty – and get the chance to win additional bounties worthover $100,000 for eliminating other players along theway.
How does PokerStars Grand Tour work?
PokerStars Grand Tour is a Progressive KOtournament divided into several stages – or sprints – with a finish line linked to your bounty value. You begin by choosing your starting point on the road to the finish line.
There are six buy-in levels:
| PokerStars Grand Tour buy-in |
|---|
| $1 |
| $2 |
| $5 |
| $12 |
| $25 |
| $60 |
Please note: 10% of the buy-in goes to the rake.
When you register, the buy-in (minus rake) represents both your progress on the road and your total bounty value.
If you win a sprint and reach a value of $100 or more, you'll win your bounty value, plus all the additional bounties you accumulated during the sprints you completed.
Each sprint is a Sit & Go Hyper Turbo tournament, where four players with similar values at registration compete and try to eliminate each other to determine a winner.
Like Progressive KOs, each elimination means:

- Your own bounty value increases by a given percentage of your opponent's value, getting you closer to the finish line
- You pocket a part of your opponent's bounty value straight away. This value will be multiplied, giving you a chance to get an even bigger prize. The multiplier is based on the probability tables shown below
If you win a sprint, you keep your bounty value and can continue your journey to the finish line by playing another sprint without having to buy-in again – this time starting closer to the finish line.
You can play the following sprint whenever you want: immediately or later.
Prizes and probabilities
At the start of each sprint, the average bounty value between the four players defines:
- The percentage of each player’s value that will go towards the progressive parts
- The percentage used to define the amount that is awarded to the players immediately
- The probability of each prize multiplier when the elimination occurs
| Average bounty value | Progressive percentage | Prize percentage (before multiplier) |
|---|---|---|
| From $0.90 to $10.80 | 50% | 25% |
| $10.81 and above | 60% | 20% |
For instance, if the average bounty value at the start of the sprint is $10, and you eliminate a player whose value is $10, your own value will increase by $5 (50%), you will immediately win $2.50 (25%), and this value will be multiplied by a number between 1 and 300, based on the probability tables below.
Bounty multiplier
If the bounty average of the sprint is below or equal to $10.80:
| Multiplier | Example for a $0.30 prize | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | $0.30 | 259,849 in 1,000,000 |
| 1.5 | $0.45 | 329,999 in 1,000,000 |

| 300 | $90.00 | 65 in 1,000,000 |
If the bounty average of the sprint is above $10.80:
| Multiplier | Example for a $20 prize | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | $20.00 | 398,007 in 1,000,000 |
| 1.5 | $30.00 | 260,000 in 1,000,000 |
