PokerStars, the world’s leading online poker platform, is gearing up to launch its major summer online festival: the “Jet Set Season”! This travel-themed series will run from June 8 to July 7, 2025, featuring 60 tournaments and boasting a massive guaranteed prize pool of over $7.2 million. It’s set to be a thrilling summer poker extravaganza for all poker enthusiasts.
Following the high-octane action of SCOOP, the “Jet Set Season” offers a more playful, travel-inspired format while still delivering serious value and competition. The series caters to all bankrolls, with buy-ins ranging from just $3.30 up to $1,050, ensuring accessibility for players of all levels.
Event Highlights & Prizes
Throughout the month-long schedule, players will compete for seven trophies and 91 PokerStars-branded hoodies, awarded in select standout events. Beyond its mix of formats, including phased tournaments, mystery bounties, and progressive knockouts, Jet Set Season also brings themed events hosted by PokerStars ambassadors and exclusive prize challenges to keep players engaged well beyond the tables.
The series kicks off on June 8 with “The Prologue” and “Season Opener”. A major highlight shortly after will be the “Jet Set Check-in” tournament, a $75 buy-in event boasting a $500,000 guarantee. This will be the first event to award both a hoodie and a trophy.
The ever-popular Sunday Million (Phased) also makes its return with a $109 entry and a $1 million guarantee. Phase one qualifiers began on June 8 and will culminate on June 15.
The middle of the series heats up with Super Sunday on June 22, where PokerStars will run a trio of marquee events at different buy-in levels: an $11 PKO, a $109 Mystery Bounty, and a $1,050 NLHE freezeout. With over $1 million in combined prize pools and 27 hoodies across these events, it’s expected to be one of the busiest days of the festival.
Among other highlights is the Jet Set Cruise on June 29, offering another $500,000 guarantee and hoodie rewards for those who make a deep run. The series will conclude with the Jet Set Season Finale on July 6, a $109 Sunday Million with a $1 million guarantee. Once again, 16 hoodies will be handed out during this event, which is expected to draw one of the largest fields of the series.
Jet Set Season also features themed weekly tournaments, most notably the Monday Mystery, which offers different bounty formats each week at three price points: $11, $82, and $215. On July 5, PokerStars will host Bounty Bonanza Day, an entire slate dedicated to bounty formats, from low-stakes mystery bounty events to $215 progressive KOs.
Jet Set Challenge & All-In Shoot Outs
Beyond the felt, PokerStars is adding a layer of adventure through the Jet Set Challenge, a travel-themed promotion in which players earn “miles” by entering tournaments and completing specific missions. As players unlock famous global landmarks, they can win chests containing mystery throwables, Sunday Million tickets, and more.
Completing all landmarks in a row earns access to that region’s All-In Shoot Out on July 7, with over $300,000 in added ticket prizes. Prizes include $30,000 for Asia, $60,225 for Europe, $101,500 for the Americas, and $125,300 for Africa. Players must opt in via their Challenges Window between June 6 and July 7 to participate.
For those looking to add a bit more spice to their grind, PokerStars will also run Jet Set Rush from June 9 to 29. This side promotion features 16 sequential challenges. Completing a full “reel” of four challenges earns players free spins, bonuses, or cash prizes. Those who complete all 16 in order will unlock the Jet Set Rush Vault, guaranteeing a cash reward.
Some events during the series will be hosted by PokerStars Ambassadors, including Parker “tonkaaaa” Talbot, Marle Spragg, and Lali Tournier. Players who eliminate a host ambassador will receive a $109 ticket to the Jet Set Finale along with an exclusive ambassador-themed throwable.
Whether you’re a seasoned pro or new to the world of poker, PokerStars’ “Jet Set Season” promises an unforgettable online poker experience. Join now to embark on your poker adventure and claim your glory and rewards!
