PokerStars on FanDuel Summer Sendoff Freeroll Series Reaches Final Stretch with Five Events Left
TL;DR — FanDuel’s Summer Sendoff Freeroll Series on PokerStars has five events left including a $5,000 GTD finale on September 13. Zero-buy-in events award cash and MTT tickets across PLO, NLHE and hyper-turbo formats. The push aims to drive last-minute engagement before the series ends.
SCCG Take — Freeroll promotions of this type enable operators to extend player activity in competitive online poker without added acquisition costs.
The Summer Sendoff Freeroll Series on PokerStars exclusively via FanDuel has entered its closing phase. Five events remain in the 10-day promotion of zero-buy-in tournaments. Players can still pursue shares of cash and MTT tickets.
The schedule offers a mix of formats across the remaining days. Tonight marks the start of the final push with the sole Pot-Limit Omaha event on the docket. Subsequent nights deliver hyper-turbo action and a larger guaranteed prize pool on Sunday.
Tonight’s Action
Event #6 begins at 20:00 on September 9 as a $500 GTD Pot-Limit Omaha Turbo. The format stands alone in the series. Four-card players gain a risk-free entry point to compete for prizes.
Remaining Schedule
A $1,000 GTD NLHE tournament runs Thursday night for straight cash prizes. Friday and Saturday hyper-turbos award Spin & Go entries. The $5,000 GTD Sunday Finale on September 13 carries the largest prize pool and distributes both cash and MTT tickets to support fall tournament play.
The series provides the last opportunities for uncommitted players to claim free bankroll boosts. As reported by PokerNews, the final events focus on quick action and direct value without entry costs. The promotion concludes after the September 13 finale.
