PokerStars PPA Tournaments

Poker Players Alliance (PPA)

Alfonse D'AmatoThe Poker Players Alliance(PPA) is a non-profit organization set up to help protect and fight for the rights of poker players in the United States. Part of the PPA's mission is to protect the right of poker players to play online.

The PPA is proud to have poker enthusiast and former U.S. Senator Alfonse D'Amato as its chairman. With his leadership, the PPA will help keep poker available and legal for U.S. players.

PokerStars supports the efforts of the PPA and wants to give our players a chance to support the PPA as well. To encourage players to join the PPA, we'll periodically be running freeroll tournaments, with a $3000 prize pool. The tournaments will be announced in PokerStars’ client software as they become available, and will run at American-friendly times of day.

PPA Member By entering any of the tournaments, you agree to become an introductory (free) member of the Poker Players Alliance and grant PokerStars the right to pass along your personal information (name, address, e-mail, and date of birth) to the PPA.

For more information on the organization, please visit the Poker Players Alliance home page.

Important notes:

  • The intent of these tournaments is to acquire new members for the PPA. If you are already a PPA member (e.g. if you have played in one of our previous PPA tournaments) then you are not eligible to play in these freerolls.
  • Each PokerStars player may only enter one PPA Tournament.
  • Events are open only to players living in the United States.
  • Please check the information (email and mailing address) you have on file with PokerStars to make sure it is correct.
